This was my first experience with FSM, flying the A320 and it was brilliant! I had some home sim experience and after talking with Captain Sarah in the briefing, she was happy for me to dive straight in and go through more technical parts and systems of the aircraft. I really enjoyed the experience, all the team were fantastic and very accommodating. Big thanks to Sarah for making it a great session and I've already booked in for a longer session.

Visited with my wife as a birthday gift. I had a fantastic flight in the 747 simulator with Nigel as the instructor. Great team and had a great time! The briefing was also very interesting before the flight. Thank you

An amazing experience with Captain Sarah . It was so real and so enjoyable and goes to Number 1 on my list of events. It was the "real" thing and was way beyond my expectations. Put it at the top of your Bucket List!

It was fantastic experience for my son’s 10 th Birthday. He was absolutely delighted flying Boeing 747 with Nigel as an instructor. I’m sure we’ll go again as my son wants to learn more about flying from such an experienced Pilot like Nigel. Thank you very much:)

This is my fourth experience at FSM and it was as excellent as ever. All the staff make you feel so welcome. Sarah was my instructor and had me doing inputs I hadn’t done before in a superbly calm, encouraging manner. I had a fantastic 90 minutes. Thank you all.

Totally immersive and realistic experience with an excellent instructor. The whole experience from the briefing through to the flight was excellent.

A return visit to Flight Simulators Midlands, but this time on the 747 sim. It doesn't move but it really didn't matter: I felt the visuals on it are incredibly good and realistic and the sim controls themselves make you feel as though you're in a real Jumbo jet. We flew the approach into the old Kai Tak, went to New York, San Francisco, and finished up taking off and landing in Innsbruck - quite a challenge in a Jumbo. It was the usual excellent fun. Always made to feel very welcome there, no matter who the instructor is (this time it was Nigel, an ex-BA pilot who clearly knows his stuff). As ever, we'll be back!

Really enjoyed flying the full motion Airbus 320. Sarah a great instructor. Thanks, will visit again, maybe try Boeing next time.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at FSM. This was an experience bought for me as I am a bit of a plane nut. There was a briefing video which gives you plenty of information to help you understand the principles of flight, the various flight control surfaces and get to know the instruments. I chose the Airbus A320 simulator as I had simulated this the most at home and even on my phone. I had a great time in the simulator. It was my first time in a proper simulator and I was impressed. I had plenty of support and help with my trainer who was very experienced. I felt at ease and was made to feel comfortable with the takeoff procedure, changes to heading and then landing. Definitely doing this again.
