I would want to make a flight in a simulator in Brussels. I’m 15 in march, can I? If I can soar yet, why not fly a simulator? How much does it cost for a few hours flying?
I was surprised to see that http://www.sfa.be was still online; the last piece of debris that’s left from Sabena. The site is still updated. I saw a news report that Oxford Aviation Training partly (or completely???) took over the training centre in Arizona, previously owned by Sabena and with a large fleet of Piper Archer III’s and Piper Seneca’s.
Does anyone of you have had experience flying simulators of commercial aircraft?

Cheaper in USA due to exchange rates atm 😀

😮 Hmm, could it be any cheaper in Belgium or Netherlands?

The Yorkshire Flight center website can be located at http://www.yorkshireflightcentre.co.uk It’s about 20 miles from me, near Harrogate / Knaresborough. Not to far from the A1 either. They have both commercial (boeing 737) and military (Phantom F-4) simulators you can try……

We haven’t taken over the Sabena school in Arizona, we’ve signed a training partnership with them that means all full time ATPL students like myself do our fair weather training out in Phoenix in Oxford Aviation Training aircraft whilst being taught by Oxford Aviation Instructors using Sabena’s facilities and callsign. We also stay in the amazing Sabena flats which are truely gorgeous!
I go out there on August the 16th for four months and I can’t wait!

It has always amused me that anyone who doesn’t fly commercially is desperate to get in a heavy jet sim while those of us who actually fly them are desperate to get out!
