iPILOT lands Airliner in central London
London (PRWEB UK) 2 November 2015 -- PILOT, the first and the largest international chain of high-tech flight simulators, today announced the opening of a new store in central London.
British aviation fans now have the opportunity to experience the thrill of flying a Boeing 737 airliner, alongside a qualified pilot instructor, to and from any of 24,000 replicated airports around the world, at one of the most accessible locations in central London.
“Most flight simulator facilities are located in or around airports or airline company premises, meant specifically for the use of pilots and pilots-in-training,” said Wolfram Schleuter, founder and CEO of iPILOT. “Our goal is not only to provide the most realistic in-flight experience, but to also make it more accessible and affordable to people who might otherwise never have the chance to enjoy it. Now, at Crawford Street (Baker Street Underground station), customers can experience what it takes to be a pilot, during their lunch break or on the way home, without a compromise to their time.”
The new Boeing 737 simulator offers a fully enclosed to-scale cockpit, complete with video screens that re-create the spectacular airborne views of real flight paths. The flight deck is a life size replica of the Boeing 737, and its overhead panel is fully functional.
“From aviation buffs to those just looking to try something new, the iPILOT experience is utterly unique in that the overall effects, cockpit, and navigation technology all work in tandem to create such a life-like simulation, that commercial pilots often use our facilities to train,” says Simon Burnham, professional pilot, iPILOT London Store Manager and one of the biggest aviation voices currently on social media.
iPILOT is open daily from 10:00-20:00.
