Pilot Briefing - FAQs

How old do you need to be to fly? 10 and up, Captain. Younger kids often struggle with headset fit and following instructions - so we keep it strictly for flyers aged 10+.

Do I need experience? Negative, Ghostrider. We’ll brief you, guide you, and have you flying in minutes - no experience needed.

Can we book as a group? Affirmative. Bring your crew - we’ll rotate you through or run head-to-head dogfights.

How many can fly at once? We’ve got four linked cockpits - perfect for 2v2 combat or team missions.

What aircraft should I start with? We recommend the Spitfire or Mustang for new recruits. Simple to fly, epic to fight in.

Can I fly against my mates? 100%. Bring your crew and jump into formation flying or a classic dogfight. Whether you're wingmen or rivals, it’s way more fun with friends - and yes, group bookings are available.

What if I get motion sickness? It's not common, but it can happen - especially if you’ve downed a big burger beforehand. We’ll give you tips to keep things smooth, but if your stomach starts doing barrel rolls, you can pull the pin anytime. No shame in ejecting early!

Mission Debrief: What Pilots Are Saying

"Test your vocal cords at The Aviator - best flight experience ever. How hard can it be? Let's just say I had an overdose of adrenaline, nearly wet my pants and could not get myself to stop screaming!"

Companion 5.

"A fantastic experience! We purchased a 60 min sim experience for my Dad for his Birthday and he was hooked! Craig was extremely helpful and gave Dad the best experience possible, we almost couldn't pull him away from the sim! I highly recommend The Aviator Experience to anyone."

Matt H.

"A great time. Well worth the price.

Flying a flight sim in VR exceeded all of my expectations of what it would be like. Flying on your home computer will never be the same."
