Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any flying experience?
No, none at all! We have designed our experience to cater for all flying abilities.

How long should I arrive before my booking?
We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before the start of your experience.

Is there somewhere I can park?

Do you have toilet facilities?
Yes.

Can I book a longer experience?
Yes of course. Please contact us and we can organise a tailor made flying session for you.

Is the Sim full motion?
Our Blackbushe simulator is fixed base, this means it does not move. However we now offer full motion sims via our partners. Please contact us directly to find out more.

Where can I eat nearby?
The Pathfinder Café is the best place for food at Blackbushe Airport. They do a fantastic breakfast, sandwiches and snacks. They are open daily from 9am to 4pm.

Where can I stay locally?
We are only a 10 minute drive from Farnborough Town Centre where you’ll find a variety of hotels.

Do you have disabled access?
Yes, however we are limited due to the structure of the sim. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

What is the minimum age?
The minimum age for an experience is 12 years old. If the Pilot is under the age of 14, we would recommend the slightly shorter experience (First Officer Experience). Please note anyone under the age of 16 will require a parent or a guardian present.
