The most advanced simulators
From the tiniest bump on the runway, to the sinking feeling in your stomach as you take off, you'll be amazed by the realism, and convinced you're really flying. Worth around £10-million each, and certified by the Civil Aviation Authority to Level-D (the highest level there is), flight simulators don't get any more realistic than this. With access to Europe's largest fleet of Airbus and Boeing full-motion flight simulators, you'll be spoilt for choice.
A world of possibilities
Perform as many take-offs and landings as possible, or fly a real-world route in real time - the choice is yours. You could take-off from Paris at night, island hop in the Caribbean, or try a tricky approach into Innsbruck in a snowstorm. And maybe some turbulence or an engine failure to see if you really can stay calm under pressure? It's up to you. You're the Captain and it can be as thrilling and challenging as you want.
Feel the power
Imagine yourself on the flightdeck… one hand on the controls, the other on the thrust levers, bumping over the runway lights as you taxi into the take-off position. Feel the immense power pushing you into your seat as your jet airliner tears down the runway, and the adrenaline rush as you raise the nose and lift your huge aircraft into the air. Take one last glance at the ground falling away beneath you as you cut through the clouds into the clear blue sky above.
Fly with the professionals
No previous flying experience necessary! Modern airliners are designed to be easy to fly, and you'll have an experienced airline pilot as your own personal instructor. Your instructor is there to provide hands-on guidance and make sure you get the maximum possible enjoyment from your simulator flight, It all starts with a pre-flight briefing in 'ground school', before you board the flight simulator and strap yourself in at the controls.

What our customers say
“The day was tailor-made and a huge success.”
—JENNY SCOTT, ALLIANZ INSURANCE PLCHaving been asked to host a corporate ladies day, I wanted to do something that would catch the attention of my guests and would be a talking point that would also interest the gentlemen! Taking the controls of a Boeing 757 did just that. From contacting Virtual Aviation for an initial chat, I was immediately impressed by their knowledge, helpfulness and customer focus. The day was tailor-made for me and was a huge success. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter and the team to arrange a wonderful experience.
“A wonderful experience.”
—LAUREN MITCHELL, GENERAL HEALTHCARE GROUPWe had a large group of people attending a series of sessions in the simulators. Peter Stephens was very helpful and organised a wonderful experience whereby we all managed to have a turn in the simulator and also ran it in a 'Krypton Factor' style. At the end we were all extremely happy with the entire afternoon and the winner for best landing was even happier. We send a very big thank you to all the staff and pilots. We'd give our recommendation to anyone considering the Virtual Aviation experience themselves.
“Nothing could have been better.”
—STEVE BATTY, JOHN LEWIS PARTNERSHIPI was thrilled with the day you delivered to us - nothing could have been better. Your support was brilliant, and the two pilots had just the right level of encouragement and support to make everyone's flight enjoyable and challenging! I would recommend your organisation to others, and thank you for the effort and commitment you showed to ensuring our day with you was perfect in every way.
“Asking about a return visit already!”
—ALAN H, FATWIRE SOFTWAREVery enjoyable. The team had a terrific, motivational experience which has got them all talking about the day and its benefits. They are asking about a return visit already!
