No Prior Experience

I treated my best friend to a simulated flight from Gatwick to Malaga (a familiar route for him as a passenger). He was overwhelmed by the experience. Well done to all concerned . I cannot find the words. Thank you to all involved.

My aspiring pilot son thoroughly enjoyed his simulator experience. His instructor Rob was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. My son was totally immersed in the experienced and has left buzzing with excitement. We picked up valuable information about future flying careers and jobs in the industry. A thoroughly enjoyable morning with some great flight enthusiasts and impressively realistic sim. We will be back!

A great and very authentic experience. A generous 'special' birthday present from my boys. This simulator is an amazing piece of kit that gives you a real sense of being in the genuine aircraft. The team at 3Twenty were also super helpful and enthusiastic, making the whole experience one to remember. Would love to do it again sometime.

Great birthday surprise from my lovely wife. What a set up these guys have got in such a small unit. You get completely immersed in the simulator so if anyone asks “is there a pilot on board” on my next 320 flight, I’ll say yes. My favourite destination is Cape Town so I took off and landed from there. Big thanks to Dan and Joe for their professionalism.

An excellent couple of hours in the A320 sim with top notch instruction. The level of detail within the sim is absolutely first class with the Airbus systems fully simulated enabling a deep dive into the flight modes, failures, handling, instrument flying, flight control laws and so much more. I am much more familiar with Boeing but this sim session really gave me an excellent insight into Airbus and how a pilot interacts with the systems on on the A320. Will definitely re visit.

We booked the A320 flight simulator at 3Twenty Aviation for my son’s 10th birthday and it was absolutely brilliant! He loved every moment of it. The instructor was very approachable, gave clear and easy-to-follow instructions, and made the whole experience unforgettable. A fantastic way to celebrate a special day – highly recommend!

Absolutely excellent! Rob and Ollie were exceptionally welcoming. Rob gave first rate instruction, with everything explained and pitched at the level I was comfortable with. The flight itself was very realistic, including a few in flight emergencies. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be looking to do it again. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone with even the smallest interest in aviation. Thank you Rob and Ollie.

What an absolutely marvellous experience! My wife gifted me this for my birthday, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable gifts I've ever received.
From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with such professionalism and warmth. The pilot and his assistant were incredible, knowledgeable, friendly, and they made the whole experience feel exciting, safe, and truly special.
I cannot recommend 3Twenty Aviation highly enough. If you're thinking about booking, don’t hesitate, it’s an unforgettable adventure from start to finish.

It has always been a dream of mine to fly a simulator and they did an amazing job of ensuring I enjoyed every minute of it. Rob was professional and explained everything patiently. He helped me take off multiple times, land the plane in different conditions and even deal with emergencies. Absolutely recommend.

We took our daughter here for her 12th birthday and she had an absolutely amazing time. Owen and Rob were fantastic.
Rob guided our daughter throughout her experience and was so positive and informative.
Owen explained everything to us and went above and beyond with information for our daughter who wants to become a pilot. Will definitely be back! Thank you again!

I bought the experience for my 14 year old son as he expressed in interest in working for a commercial airline.
The experience was both informative and fun. We liked the fact that he could fly the Airbus on his own.
A really good morning and a great way to get some experience.
Thank you to Rob and Owen who were fantastic and really knowledgeable.

What a great way to spend an afternoon! Had a wonderful time “flying” with my co pilot John! Learnt a lot and had an absolute blast. It feels so realistic! I even managed to stay on the runway after landing thanks to the great instruction! As a nervous flier this experience will definitely help me, now I understand a bit more what goes on. John and Joe were great and I can’t recommend this enough!

My 12 year old son and his friend had the best day ever for his birthday.

No glitches.
Whole experience went smooth.
The team gave exceptional service.

You don’t have to be an aspiring pilot to attend, anyone can go and have a go.

We will be returning.

Thanks so much!

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Rob is very professional, friendly and although I was very rusty having not simmed in a year, Rob was patient and made the experience incredibly realistic and immersive. I will definitely be returning and cannot recommend this highly enough. Thanks also to Owen and Rory who were friendly, helpful and clearly passionate about aviation. It was the highlight of my birthday, thanks again.
