Future Flyers Course
[NOW AVAILABLE]
Get ready for a career in aviation, the right way.
If you, or your child, is considering a future in aviation, our Future Flyers course has been built to give young people a serious and exciting introduction to the industry.
Designed for students aged 12 to 18, the course combines ground school, simulator flying and practical career insight, all delivered in person at our facility in Frome. It gives students the chance to fly a professional grade Boeing 737 simulator and gain a clearer understanding of what airline flying actually involves.
The JetEx Boeing 737 isn't just another fixed-base device.
Our simulator delivers the motion cues, handling feel and cockpit environment that make the experience far closer to professional airline training than a standard fixed base simulator.
For Future Flyers students, that means the course is not just about watching or listening. They can sit in a realistic flight deck, use genuine style procedures, respond to instructor guidance and experience how a commercial jet behaves through key phases of flight.
The price for this course is £595, and will be conducted in person in our facility and simulator in Frome. The course length is approximately ~3 hours.
Key Features

Future Flyers Course Outline
Pre-Flight Brief
~ 1 hour
Your session begins with a briefing from one of our pilot instructors. You will be introduced to the aircraft, the flight they will be undertaking, basic procedures and what to expect in the simulator.
This is also a chance to ask questions about airline flying, pilot training and the route into an aviation career.
Sector Flying
minimum of 2 hours
The student will then board our full motion Boeing 737 simulator and fly two short airline sectors.
They will experience a realistic airline style session, from preparing the aircraft at the gate through to taxi, take off, cruise, approach and landing, with step by step guidance from the instructor throughout.
Post-Flight Debrief
~ 15 - 30 mins
After the simulator session, the instructor will review the flight, answer any further questions and discuss useful next steps for anyone interested in pursuing aviation further.
This may include pilot training routes, future study choices, airline careers and the skills that are helpful for a future in flying.
Ready to fly?
We offer a whole range of flight simulator experiences that everyone can enjoy, whether you're a complete flying novice or an experienced pilot looking to get familiar with the 737.
For Parents
Is This Right for My Child?
Future Flyers is designed for young people aged 12 to 18 who are interested in aviation, aircraft, flight simulators or becoming a pilot. No previous flying experience is required. The course is guided throughout, so students can learn at a pace that suits their confidence and ability.
What Will They Gain?
Your child will get a clearer understanding of what airline flying involves, from cockpit roles and basic procedures to flying a guided session in a professional grade Boeing 737 simulator. The aim is to inspire, inform and build confidence, not to overwhelm them with technical theory.
Why It Matters
Pilot training can be exciting, but also confusing and expensive to understand from the outside. Our Future Flyers course gives young people a structured way to explore aviation and experience life as a pilot before making bigger decisions about future study, flying lessons or training routes.
