Sim Hire

[rolandpull]

Any body got any leads on 737 sim hire facilities in the UK? I know about OATS, but was looking for any others that might be a tad cheaper. Ms flt sim I am not looking at! Ta.

GECAT at Gatwick (Crawley) probably the cheapest and easiest.

Don't be tempted by either OATS or the Knaresborough sim. Neither are particularly representative of the 737. The Knaresborough one is more for spotters, it is just a motion base with very few working instruments and switches and a made-up flight model. As far as I know, the OATS one is still fixed-base and little more than a procedures trainer.

If you want a cheap sim, there others about; not 737, but closer to it than either OATS or Knaresborough!

Raw Data, thanks. I'll give the Crawley outfit a call on Monday. Rgds.

Do GECAT publish their rates anywhere???

Just give them a call. You should get £240 per hour plus VAT Plus instructor
