Full-motion 744 event at Gatwick for PMDG pilots

Featured Replies

>Whats the normal price for 4 people?All the simulators we offer are the same price - and I'm pleased to say that the 747-400 won't cost any more.As a fellow PMDG pilot, I'm planning to make the proposed PMDG a hugely discounted event, with a different format to our standard experiences.Each of the four spaces in a 2-hour shared session (30 mins at the controls for each person) would cost around

I've flown a brand new MD-90 sim before. The visual system was awesome. Nice terrain with moving cars. You even see the moving tail lights and head lights.

I would definately be interested. I'd fly across the pond to take part in this. Keep us informed.

I am very interested. Please keep me posted with details of the planned event. RegardsStewartGlasgow, UK

"The most important requirement is that all visitors must be aged 12+ and have a valid UK/EU Passport."Will this requirement be waived for the pmdg event?Gary

It's the training centre's policy (not ours) and they don't make any exceptions. Similar programs in the USA (they exist, but no 747s simulators if I am correct) tend to have an equivalent 'US citizens only' policy.

We have the same requirements for our Simulator Ride Program, passport, and the same with the age, you don't young people getting thrown around & getting hurt in the simulator...If you have never seen a Full Flight Simulator up close, you are in for a treat!Here is an interior shot of a 717 simulator:alteon1.jpg
