City to City Line Flight:
Fly as Captain of one of the most popular aircraft in the world, the Boeing 737 NG, either by day or night, in real time and in any weather conditions.
Your Flight:
With 1 hour flight time this is a great opportunity to see and experience a line flight from Shannon to Manchester, Dublin or Belfast. Perhaps you would like an Alpine flight from Munich to Innsbruck We have lots of options. The choice is yours . . . .You are the Pilot in Command after all!
The session starts with a 15 min pre flight briefing covering some basics and the instrument layout in the cockpit. Then it's time to take off! We use real world check lists and procedures to complete the flight, along the way we explain the navigation and auto pilot systems. As we get closer to destination the workload increases and you might feel the pressure. Using the Instrument Landing System we line up for the runway. You have 180 passengers on board, can you use your skill and judgment to land this 60 ton airliner successfully?
