A Flight Simulator at Brighton City Airport

We're bringing a fixed-base flight simulator to our Shoreham base: a realistic procedures trainer where you can rehearse the parts of flying that reward repetition, on the ground and at your own pace. It's a natural companion to our PPL training and self-hire flying.

It isn't here yet, but if it sounds useful, let us know and we'll keep you posted as soon as it's ready to book.

The cockpit our simulator will help you master, before you fly it for real.

What it is

A fixed-base procedures trainer

A ground-based cockpit environment with a realistic instrument layout and controls. You can pause, reset and repeat a scenario as often as you like — something you simply can't do airborne.

What you'll practise

The skills that reward repetition

Checklists, flows and cockpit management
Circuit practice: takeoffs, circuits and landings
Emergency and non-normal drills
Instrument scan and attitude flying
Radio work and navigation rehearsal
Flying an unfamiliar route or airfield before you go

Why it helps

Practice without the pressure

Weather-independent, so you can train on any day
A cost-effective way to stay sharp between flights
No aircraft or airspace pressure while you learn
Build confidence, then take it to the aircraft

The simulator is designed to complement your flying: a place to rehearse and reinforce, not a replacement for time in the aircraft. We'll share full details, session options and pricing closer to launch.
