Flight Deck Experience (Virtual Aerospace)
What is important to us is that this is your experience and we want you to have a great time when flying with us. When you arrive you will be welcomed in to our briefing room where you can relax pre-flight with a tea of coffee and our experienced instructor will run through all you will need to know for your flight. When you board the aircraft you will enter the flightdeck and take your seat at the controls.Your time will not start until you are settled in the captains seat so you will be sure to get the most out of your time in the air.If you have brought spectators, your companions can choose to sit on the flightdeck with you (one at a time) or they can enjoy the experience as a passenger in our replica cabin which seats up to 12 people where they can use our props to give the safety briefing and sit back and take in the view from the cabin windows.After your flight you will disembark and be given your certificate. Video of your flight is also available by prior arrangementAt Flightdeck Experience we know you have a choice of simulators and we thank you for choosing us and hope you fly with us again.There is no need to arrive earlier than your booked time but we recomend allowing around an extra 30 minutes for briefing etc.Limited free parking is available on site but there is a larger free car park opposite our offices on Newchurch Road.If you purchase a 1 hour or longer flight experience you can choose to share the flight with a friend.If you are buying a voucher as a gift and would like the name (first and surname) of the recipient and a short message adding please either use the Gift Options at checkout or email us at info@flightdeckexperience.co.uk

Review
We have a wide variety of attractions within this book, but none quite as unique as Flightdeck Experience in Rossendale and secretly, I had been very excited about visiting this particular attraction ever since I shortlisted it in 2016. When I eagerly arrived, I was greeted by Steve, one of Flightdecks owners and co founder of this once in a life time experience. After a short chat and only after the last pilot had safely flown to his final destination, Steve offered me a chance to fly a 737-800 from Manchester to Liverpool, how could I say no! As someone who flies an awful lot with my job, I loved every minute and to be able to see just how it all works and what life as a pilot is really like, my admiration for pilots and the difficult job they do went up 100%. I would recommend this experience to anyone and with the addition of the new Vulcan bomber, you will want to return time and again! A huge Top 100 thumbs up for this attraction!
