Simulator Hire

[Cessna 210 Heavy]

am not sure where to post this so I will put it here and see if it gets moved!

A group of mates and I want to fly a simulator. We know of the one near Biggin and Europeans facility at Bournemouth but I am having trouble getting in touch. Although we would not be using the sims for specific training requirements, i.e. we just want to have some fun, we are all serious pilots (a mix of PPL and ATPL) with a few JAR66 guys thrown in, a total of about 8.

Where would you all suggest? Are European at Bournemouth still hiring out their sims?

Any Ideas?

Many Thanks

Is this any use?

Thanks G. but I was thinking more along the lines of a 727-200 or 747.

As there are eight of you, this might work:

I think you'd be better off asking this question on the wannabe threads.

Does anyone know if that Trident sim near Biggin is still running?

Don't even think about making such enquiries while visiting the USA: at best you will be deported, at worst you will be thrown in jail.

I didnt find that when I made a visit to Boeing last year.

I think this may be what you are looking for

I bought a voucher at a charity auction and had a great sunday morning there. Nice group of people with some fascinating kit. Including a Sikorsky sim built out of the salvage from one that fell off an oil rig!

Have fun!

Thanks John,

I did e mail them ages ago but never got a reply.

Will call them on Monday,

Cessna 210 H I'm not surprised you didn't get an email reply, perserverance by phone was the only way to reach them when I went, but it was worth it in the end!

John,

I have just had a quick chat with Gary. He has offered the 727-200 Full motion sim for £200/hr, which I think is quite good!

Did you go in the 727?
