What Can I Expect

You're cleared for take off in this helicopter simulator in Cheshire! Built at this aviation training centre in Ellesmere port using a real helicopter fuselage, this simulator is pretty much as realistic as it gets.

An eight-seater Agusta 109 shell is the basis for this ultra realistic sim. Stripped out and refitted with high-spec simulator software to replicate a Bell 407 helicopter, you've got a serious machine to play with here. The simulator also boasts surround sound and 220-degree high definition graphics for that totally immersive experience.

The twin-engined Agusta (thanks to its impressive range and power) is used around the world for off-shore work as well as search and rescue, whilst the Bell is a popular heli used for charters and the like. You can recreate all these types of roles when you're in this Cheshire simulator. After all, you're the captain so you decide where you're going!

You'll be able to choose to depart from any UK airport. You can also tweak those weather conditions to add in a guaranteed blue sky, or maybe some rain cover at 5,000ft. Then you can choose your mission. Maybe you want to fly from one airport to another on a VIP transfer? Or how about attempting a landing on an aircraft carrier in choppy seas? Or perhaps a personnel drop-off on an offshore oil rig in the North Sea? It's tricky stuff flying a chopper in those conditions, that's for sure.

Sitting by your side in the right-hand seat will be your first officer. In real life they are all private pilots and, with a passion for all things aviation, that's what spurred them on to create this flight simulator centre at Ellesmere port, including not only this Agusta sim, but aeroplane sims too.

What we love about this venue is how realistic it all is. As soon as you literally climb into the main body of the helicopter you are that helicopter pilot. 

This helicopter simulator in Cheshire is located near Ellesmere, just off the M53. It's easy to get to, the staff are really friendly and the simulator itself is so realistic. Immerse yourself in the world of virtual rotary flight!
