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. Due to the many security measures introduced over the past few years, pilots are unable to take their family members into “the office” so they can experience flying a commercial jet airliner.
 Our cockpit from a different angle We’re sure you’ll agree that this system provides an excellent platform for an introduction to jet flying and the glass cockpit environment.
 Take a peek at our cockpit 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. Earlier this week a caller to radio 3AW was lamenting the loss of cockpit access in the post-911 world. Fortunately Check Captain Carlo wasn’t busy flying or arranging new deals and was actually listening in at the time. Showing the same skills he uses to survive a V1 cut on a wet runway, Carlo quickly called up and got through to Denis Walter, explaining how Flight Experience Melbourne could help let people experience the cockpit now that security has closed the doors. We’re working to get audio from the station and will include it here if we get it.  Virgin Blue 737
