The JetEx 737 is a training standard simulator, with a large, very fast, very powerful (and very expensive) 6 axis motion system, it offers a completely different experience to the many fixed base, or low fidelity motion sims in the UK. JetEx offers an almost identical experience to a level D sim - but at half the price.

We can usually get you in the sim on the day and time you'd like if you give us a week's notice, often quicker than that.
Yes! there is no charge for bringing a friend who can sit in the jump seat, we recommend limiting the cockpit to three people-including the instructor.
On very rare occasions it may not be possible to have a guest join you in the cockpit for technical reasons- e.g. if a JetEx staff member needs to operate the sim systems to facilitate a session, in this situation your guest can observe your session from the lounge.
Yes, assuming you both have some experience with either real world flying or PC based flight simulators, you can fly the sim together as a crew with a member of the JetEx team operating the instructor station at the back for you. We will need to assess your abilities before letting you fly the sim as a crew. On very rare occasions it may not be possible to have a guest join you in the cockpit for technical reasons- e.g. if a JetEx staff member needs to operate the sim systems from the jump seat to facilitate a session, in this situation your guest can observe your session from the lounge.
There is no limit to what you can do during your flight, takoffs, landings, circuits, bad wather, engine failures, even stalls, all in complete safety of course. Just let us know what you'd like to experience, and we'll tailor your time in the sim so you can get the most fun out of it.
Yes.

Yes! But with the assistance of one of our pilot instructors, if you have some experience with flying or flight sim games you will probably be in control of the sim for the whole time.
Yes! This is a true full motion simulator capable of accelerating you at over nine meters per second, per second in all six degrees of motion. The movement is so fluid and immersing that it's hard to believe the simulator is bolted to the ground -there is very little difference between what you feel in the simulator and a real aircraft.
