Want to fly a simulator

Post by Firebird »

OK its only civvie stuff but still you might fancy it. Copied straight from the BA Intranet, and no I don't get any money for this :lol: .


Flight simulator summer sale

Do your bit to Back BA by telling friends and family about British Airways’ flight simulator summer sale, which launches this Friday.

The sale, which runs throughout the summer until September 30, offers savings of up to 50 per cent and provides ideal gifts for Father’s Day.

Aspiring pilots can hone their skills on a Boeing 737 simulator from just £200 per hour, down from £399, and fly a simulated jumbo jet or Boeing 777 from just £299, down from £449 per hour session. All sessions are taught by professional British Airways pilots.

Direct bookings and vouchers can be made on www.ebaft.com from Friday.

BA has 15 full flight simulators covering both Airbus and Boeing aircraft types. The £10 million, full motion flight simulators are used to train BA’s 3,200 pilots, as well as flight crew from 50 other airlines.

That's actually not bad for those sims. I used to escort customers around when I was an intern for United Airlines at their training center (they used to sell sim time to the public as well). Nothing like rolling a 777 in the sim! :D

Cool idea, MIKE JG, does any of this sim time count towards a type rating, say in the 737?
