Rockwell Commander Flight Simulator Experiences at Barton Aerodrome

Rockwell Commander Flight Simulator Experiences at Barton Aerodrome

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.

Terms & Conditions

Do the simulators move?

No. They are fixed base simulators, meaning that there is no motion; so no seat belts or sick bags are required. The dynamic and realistic 270 degree visuals give such an immersive experience that you can feel the sensation of motion however.  

Can I bring a friend?

Yes, up to one additional guest can be accommodated in the simulator for experienced pilots.

Where are the simulators?

We are based at  City Airport & Heliport, Manchester, M30 7SA (formerly Barton Aerodrome) .

Do I need flight experience to use the simulator?

Not at all. We are equipped to handle all levels of experience from beginners to current pilots! We have instructors to assist you, whether its your first time or you just need a sandbag pilot. 

Can I hire the simulator for a day or for several people?

Of course! We can cater for many different bespoke scenarios if you are looking for extra sim time or even the whole day. We are able to offer bespoke packages for corporate days, or if you want to bring the whole family down and spend half or a whole day in the simulator. Just call or email us and we'll be able to help. 

Do you have disabled accessibility?

We are currently working on ramp access to the simulator building and into the simulator so that everyone can enjoy the experience, however we do have wide access pilot seats so that those with restricted movement can use the simulator.  

Is there an age limit?

There is no upper age limit, however the minimum limit is 15 years of age.
