All Sessions Are Guided By Trained Professionals
No matter how simple it might sound, an arduous task such as flying a plane, even in a simulator, requires the support of a professional. But, fret not! You don’t have to worry about figuring things out all by yourself as you will be guided by a fleet of highly trained aviators at all times.
There’s also an introductory demonstration that lasts for about 10-minute. This is when you’ll be briefed about the cogs in the machine, and other interesting aviation techniques.
Once this is done, you can pick your flight route. Choose almost any point on the globe for your flight. For your first session, it is better that you choose a simple route.
Depending on the amount of adrenaline you want to experience, you can pick a regular aerodrome or opt for a tough challenge that requires considerable concentration. If you’re up for a little adventure, try night flights, or severe weather conditions, such as thunderstorms, hail, or strong gusts of wind. Choose the time of the day, weather conditions and seasons.
