Flying Start!

2023 has indeed got off to a flying start with the simulator busier than normal with commercial pilots queuing up to get some practice before they head off for the all important sim assessment which forms part of the selection process.

Personally when I have been for interviews in the past I never had any practice before but there weren’t any fixed base sims around and I was already flying full time as an instructor and corporate pilot so was very current as a handling pilot.

These days though people are going for airline jobs with the bare minimum of experience so it makes sense to pour some more cash into the already big hole to ensure you are at your best.

You have plenty of options these days with fixed base sims springing up all over, some offering, on the face of it great deals. Choose wisely though, It isn’t just the sim, its the person coaching you that offers that extra value for money at Jet Simulator. Take a look at the pictures of our sim, it has 2 CDU’s, projected graphics and it is identical to the actual simulator you will do your assessment in. It is also maintained to a high standard the photos on this site are of our simulator, unlike some other sites out there. You will also be helped by someone who has flown commercially and has helped lots of pilots along the way to securing the first job.

We have also been doing this for 8 years and there are no gimmicks or BS

Christmas Sale

We are giving a £20 discount on all 1 hour bookings made during December!

We can create a personalised voucher that make a unique Christmas gift and they are valid for 12 months.

We can also do vouchers for longer sessions, send us an email and we will create a voucher and post it in time for Christmas.

Its Recruitment Time!

Winter is traditionally a time of year for charter airline recruitment which then triggers movement throughout the industry as pilots from small regional operators move about in an attempt to satisfy their career ambitions.

Due to the wave of recruitment and our reputation for getting people through the recruiting simulator assessments we are getting more and more inquiries for sim assessment practice and general raw data brush up from those folk sat on the sidelines thanks to Covid.

If you are struggling for funds and want to share the cost with a sim partner let us know in an email and we might be able to match people up to practice together.

You want value for money so check around but ask the question what experience the ‘instructors’ have of commercial flight training and what types they have flown.

To save you asking us; 30+ years of commercial flight experience, Captain on 737, flown for 3 airlines and several corporate flight departments on jets and turboprops. We have been running our sim since 2016.

You can Trust Us!

Thanks to all those who have taken time to review their experience. We don’t ask people to review us but it it certainly means a lot when people take the time to share their thoughts.

Thanks!

Back To Work Spring Special

If you are a commercial pilot who has been sat at home watching Youtube in your underwear or collecting trolleys at your local supermarket in recent months then you will be aware things are picking up in the airline industry.

To help you shine brighter than the rest we have an unmissable deal to allow you to get comfortable with the aircraft and ready to return to work. Even if you don’t fly the 737 some time spent just flying practice raw data maneuvers is bound to help you impress the examiners and give you confidence if you are trying to land your first flying job.

Show us your licence and we will knock 20% off for the first hour or book 2 hours for £160! This is a limited time offer so get in touch soon!

Here We Go Again!

Once again it seems there is an issue with Covid so could we please remind people not to visit the simulator if you have any symptoms and if possible maybe take a lateral flow test before visiting although this isn’t essential it helps to keep everyone safe.

We had a good run up to Christmas with plenty of people treating their friends and family to the chance to enjoy some time seeing what goes on on the other side of the flight deck door so we are expecting to be quite busy. That coupled with people needing to cancel due to isolating or waiting for test result we would appreciate it if you can remain flexible and keep in touch via email before your booking.

For safety we are reducing the number of visits each day to enable us to sanitise the simulator between visits which again is for everyone’s peace of mind.

Happy new year!

Back To Normal!

That’s it we are all caught up now, the backlog is cleared! If your voucher is over 12 months old you will need to check to see if Into The Blue will still cover it before booking in with us.

As the airlines seem to be getting back to normal we are getting ready for the summer 2022 recruitment drive and are expecting to be seeing more commercial pilots or would be commercial pilots coming to the sim to hone their skills before going for airline interviews or sim refresher courses. Before you decide where to go for practice get in touch with us we have a great deal of experience at helping people land a job or pass the sim details; we have most companies profiles and you will be sat next to another commercial pilot.

Business As Usual!

We are returning to normal and taking bookings again as we are all caught up with last years backlog.

If you are interested in either getting a gift voucher or treating yourself then contacting us by email in the first instance is the best way to go.

We are also mainlining the 20% discount for the next couple of weeks.

If you are a BALPA member and have recently been made redundant, or you just want to come and get some practice before you return to work then we are here to help.

Christmas Discount!

For a limited period we are offering our standard 1 hour session at a discount price by knocking £20 of the usual price!

To book simply drop us an email (jetsimulatoruk@gmail.com) with your contact details and we will get back to you and your voucher will be winging its way to you in no time at all!

Give the best! Our simulator is not only used by professional pilots it is staffed and owned by professional pilots. This isn’t a ‘fly by night’ outfit with people parading around in uniforms pretending to be airline pilots! We don’t use phoney marketing such as using airline logos and names. You will be sat alongside someone who knows what they are talking about because they have flown a real aircraft not just a simulator, most of our instructors are either currently flying the 737 or have flown it in the past.

So bring your most difficult questions with you, this is the ultimate gift for the aviation enthusiast or just the curious, find out what goes on behind the locked door!

Getting Ready For Takeoff

After the 4th July we are expecting to be able to start operations again.

We are putting in place procedures for cleaning the simulator after each use and masks or face coverings will be worn when in the simulator as well as hand sanitizer being available for use in our office and the simulator.

If you still don’t feel safe don’t worry we are happy to wait for now but if you have an Into The Blue voucher we suggest you speak to them regarding extending the validity of the voucher.

If you would like to contact us email is the best way as at the moment we aren’t making trips to the office.

All the best and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
