Helping QANTAS pilots share the experience

Have you ever wanted to take your family up to the cockpit and show them what it’s like? Believe it or not, many airline pilots want to do the same thing but cannot.

Best time to view our Flight Simulator

Take a peek at our cockpit

Take a peek at our cockpit

Many people are interested in just seeing what the inside of a 737 cockpit looks like. Some want to check out our simulator before they commit to buying one of our Flight Packages.

If you’re in the city and want to have a look at our simulator, the best time to drop by is between 2pm and 3pm every day. This is when our instructors take their lunch breaks, so the simulator is generally not being used and one instructor is always on hand to let you have a look inside.

While visiting the simulator, you can also check out our wide range of merchandise available, including clothing, books, aircraft models and cockpit DVDs.
