Virtual Type Rating
[ COMING SOON ]
The UK's only Boeing 737-800NG Virtual Type Rating using a Full-Motion 6DOF Simulator
Whether you’re curious about big-jet flying, an avid flight simmer, or aiming at a future ATPL, this is where it gets real.
In our full-motion 737-800NG you’ll learn to brief, set up and fly this complex jet, using the same style of flows and callouts airline crews use every day.
The JetEx 737 isn’t just another fixed-base simulator. It delivers the cues and handling that pilots expect from professional airline training devices, so you’re practicing in an environment that feels close to what real crews are assessed in.
We coach you step-by-step, with zero pressure and around a structure that works for you.
Course Outline
Aircraft Basics
You'll learn how to start-up the 737 from cold & dark, taxi the aircraft, learn power settings, take-off and then get to grips with the handling of the jet, culminating in some approach and landing practice to polish off your skills.

Why Join Our Virtual Type Rating Course?
Full-Motion
Airline pilots train with motion because it teaches feel, rotation, flare, sink rate, and how the aircraft’s energy shifts when you add or reduce thrust. That’s why your Virtual Type Rating runs on our full-motion 6DOF 737-800NG rather than a static platform, and why would you settle for less?
Expert Tuition
Fully instructor-led, we coach you step-by-step with no prior experience required, and we will match your pace and goals. We teach real scenarios to generate real confidence, whether you step forward into an airline pilot career, or you just want to level-up your flying abilities.
Our instructors are all qualified pilots, and some are even qualified Type Rating Instructors and Type Rating Examiners for major airlines flying the 737 and 737MAX types.
The Real Experience
Our simulators flightdeck comes from a real aircraft. You are not just sat in a mock-up of a 737, you are truly experiencing what it is like to fly one of these big jets, in seats used by thousands of real pilots before you. The only true comparison you could have to flying this simulator, is flying the real aircraft.
Join Our Pilot Pool
Upon successful completion of our Virtual Type Rating course, you will be invited to join our JET-EX Pilot Pool, where you can take advantage of lower hourly rates, fly with other JET-EX Pilots, have access to materials and use the simulator on your own, in your own time.*
