AIRBUS A320 SIMULATOR

Take command of one the world’s most popular jet airliners: The Airbus A320!
Our Airbus A320 Flight Simulator is fitted with authentic pedestal, overhead controls and panels with exact reproductions of the real switches, knobs, dials and levers found in the real aircraft and genuine Airbus side sticks for the ultimate feel and immersion. The outside world is created using state of the art electronic graphics, enabling almost any airport anywhere in the world to be accessed using the powerful computers to generate the perfect scenario of being on stand at Manchester, Munich or Moscow.
The simulator offers an extremely immersive experience due to its 24 foot curved 210 degree curved screen so, when you look out of the cockpit windows, you see an uninterrupted view of exactly what you would see in the aircraft.
Our simulator runs Prosim A320 flight model & avionics software, the market leader and supplier to many professional certified flight simulators. The software replicates all electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic & fuel systems down to the last detail. Any system failure imaginable can be set up.
We have instructors with many years of experience in the aviation industry, who are great teachers committed to sharing their enthusiasm with professionals, beginners, hobbyists and casual thrill-seekig customers looking to hone their skills, overcome fear of flying or share an interesting experience with friends or loved ones (above 15 years old).
You will sit in the Captains or First Officers seat as you wish and fly from take-off to landing under the guidance of our experts. The simulator can accommodate two people who can take turns to manoeuvre the aircraft, allowing the pilot to pick a route anywhere around the globe with scenarios available, limited only by your imagination.

ROCKWELL COMMANDER

(various types of aircraft availble i.e. Cessna C172, Piper PA28…)
Our light aircraft simulator is a simpler version of the Airbus sim, using enhanced immersive graphics with the controls and instruments of a real Rockwell Commander 112. Our sim has been created from the body of a real-life aircraft to perfectly replicate the feeling of flying a light aircraft. It is perfect for those who have little or no flying experience and what to get an insight into flying a light aircraft, or for those who have flying experience or a pilots licence it allows the opportunity to practice flying in bad weather, making an instrument approach or unusual attitude recovery or simply just practising for a longer navigational flight, all for a fraction of the cost of hiring an aircraft.
We can also offer an educational package and membership running over many sessions as you wish.

A320 FCU/MCDU TRAINER

Explore the latest FMS trainer from ProSim. A single touch-screen system, standalone compact unit with the sole purpose of learning and practicing the correct use of the Airbus A320 Flight Control Unit (FCU) and Multipurpose Control Display Unit (MCDU). Designed especially for professional pilots, this is not suggested for beginners as this is a training tool for airliners rather than the thrill of the simulator.
We can also offer an educational package and membership running over many sessions as you wish.

FEAR OF FLYING COURSE

Mankind has been flying in aircraft for nearly 120 years and yet, nearly 1 in 6 people have anxiety about flying. Many fears and anxieties are exaggerated by a lack of understanding, and many people are helped to control their anxieties by appreciating what is happening.
At The Manchester Flight Sim Centre, we can help you to now understand how aircraft fly by letting you take command of an airbus A320 simulator with an instructor who can help you to fight your fear. Our packages are tailored to you and generally consist of the following:

▪ Theoretical discussion: A briefing by a professional airline pilot with some basic information on things such as turbulence and how an aircraft can fly, giving you plenty of time to settle in and feel comfortable.

▪ Simulation sessions: A 1 hour session in our Airbus A320 simulator with your experienced instructor. Featuring the latest visual graphics, our simulators can fly you from your local airport, over your home, your workplace or where you used to go to school, and if you want to, we’ll let you to take off and fly around and even help you to program an automatic landing.

▪ Debriefing: A discussion about how your session went and what you have learnt on the course.

FOR PROFESSIONAL PILOTS

Airline Pilot Proficiency Check

As a professional airline pilot, your regular six-monthly proficiency check is always daunting.
At The Manchester Flight Sim Centre, you can be ready by practicing memory items, emergency procedures, failures, approaches, TCAS events, general handling and much more, ensuring you are fully prepared for your next check.

Interview Assessment Preparation

Interviews and assessment days are just as intimidating for the newly qualified cadet as they are for a seasoned airline pilot. It’s important to be prepared for your assessment and be proficient with your technical and CRM skills. At The Manchester Flight Sim Centre, we can offer the opportunity to practice and receive guidance from professional pilots in order to fully prepare yourself, ready to ace the assessment.

Pilot Refresher Sessions

For those that are in need of some refresher sessions or for those that haven’t been able to fly as often as they’d like, especially because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we can offer the opportunity to keep your skills sharp, including a full briefing and debriefing at no extra cost.

Covid-19 for Type Rated Pilots

We are supporting pilots with an A320 type rating during Covid-19. Many pilots are sadly having to personally burden the cost of a type rating revalidation. Because of these extraordinary events we are offering many special deals to A320 type rated pilots. We are currently offering 10 sessions for the price of 7, as well as special memberships.
