Boeing 737-300 Sim

Hello fellow pilots,
I am based in the UK and would like to fly in a Boeing 737-300 simulator does anyone know where I can hop into one for 1 hour for a reasonable price?
Cheers,
Airmiles

Virtual Flight Centre

£549 for one hour in the full motion simulator (including 1 hour brief) at London Gatwick

I have recently used them and was very satisfied

Cheers

have a look at these pay to fly schemes (dont buy into one)

but during there 'interview' (ie the bit where they spend all day asking if you have 30k) you get an hour on a 737/a320. you still have to pay for there assessment, but its probably cheaper than doing it off your own back.

dont feel bad about abusing the system, they abuse there cadets all the time!

European Skybus Limited

has a B373-200 series, at bournemouth airport

European Skybus Limited - Welcome



they are very good there and prices are very low to..... which is always a plus. I believe its still a type rating simulator, but you will need to check, because they got rid of there aircraft (B373-200 and Be146) a year or two ago.

60mins £270 on a B373-200
30min £150 " " " " "

these prices man have got up since, i was there, before the VAT rise

hope that helps

OAA have an fnpt2 737 sim. It is 5 axis and flies like a 737. No good for type training but is cheap compared to the proper sims. Depends what you want.

[QUOTE][5 axis /QUOTE]

I understand that it is the type of motion base it is fitted with.
Maybe someone with more tech knowledge can explain.

I just had a look at the OAA website and the sim has a CAA certificate as a 6 axis sim. Sounds better.

Does any1 else have any info on a cheap 737 sim, classic or ng. I saw a fixed based 737 ng on the net for about 3 hours for quite cheap but can't seem to find it now.

be carefull, with too cheap simulators.

you could find they are not appovered by the CAA.
and that you can't log the simulator time to your log book, which in other words is pointless.

plus what about the paper word, i.e. working out speed, weight & balance, flight plans, and your route. most appovered CAA places will run you through this on the brief, before just jumping into the simulator.

i think i-Pilot is one that is not appovered by the CAA, and its a fixed base as well.

prices satrt from week days £156 an hour.

but FULL mot simulators for B737 are the norm, so why any one you save on cost to fly fixed base.
Check it out to make sure its appovered by the CAA, you don't want to learn bad things/ wrong things.. if you havn't got a Type rating already.

hope that helps

Hi All and Airmiles,

Airmiles, we have sent you a PM - please have a look.

We offer full motion flight simulators for Boeing and Airbus - all are Level-D CAA Certified - have a look at our website

We have a great deal of experience in this sort of thing, and as full motion flight simulators are not cheap, even if you are not able to book a session, we would be more than happy to offer free help and advice.

Hope that we can be of help to all those budding pilots......
