A couple of months in the past, I used to be very kindly invited by TFT Aero to come back right down to their simulator and expertise flying, as a pilot! I\u2019ve been cabin crew for nearly 9 years now, so I\u2019m pretty aware of the cockpit, nonetheless I\u2019ve by no means really tried flying the airplane myself.<\/p>\n

As you possibly can think about, I used to be tremendous excited to attempt flying\u2026 and let me let you know, it\u2019s not as straightforward because it seems to be! TFT Aero have a Boeing 737 Sim, so while it\u2019s a special plane to the 777\u2019s we now have at Emirates, the cockpit is comparable. Don\u2019t ask me for any technical particulars although as I\u2019m positively no knowledgeable!<\/p>\n

I used to be invited to carry a buddy, so I took alongside my buddy Sally to expertise the Sim. She beloved it simply as a lot as I did!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Once we arrived on the simulator in JBR, the pilots welcomed us and confirmed us to the Sim, which they\u2019d constructed utterly themselves. Extremely spectacular!<\/p>\n

I used to be first to attempt flying, and I had the selection of lots of of airports to decide on the place to take off from, so in fact I needed to decide my residence airport, London Stansted! I used to be sat within the captain\u2019s seat on the left, hoping that one way or the other I\u2019d know what to do!<\/p>\n

Luckily every little thing was defined to us very properly, and I felt assured I\u2019d be capable of take off. With some assist from my first officer, we had a profitable take-off!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

We flew by some slightly turbulent climate, making an attempt to keep away from the clouds, and it truthfully felt identical to being on the airplane!<\/p>\n

Once I managed to efficiently land (fortunately everybody had their seatbelts on tightly\u2026 haha!) I solely had a slight detour from the runway and slid onto the grass on the edge a bit; seems steering the airplane isn\u2019t straightforward both!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

After I completed flying, we swapped seats and Sally took over. She flew by the Austrian mountains, which was wonderful. The simulator has all types of various airports programmed in and it actually felt like we have been flying over the luscious inexperienced countryside.<\/p>\n

She was additionally a lot better than me, and managed to land with none sliding off the runway!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

We completely beloved making an attempt out the sim, nonetheless I don\u2019t suppose I\u2019ll be making the swap from cabin crew to pilot any time quickly! If you\u2019re considering checking it out, take a look at TFT Aero\u2019s web site right here<\/a>\u00a0to see the totally different choices on provide. Thank you a lot to Alex and the crew, we completely beloved making an attempt out the Sim!<\/p>\n
