Leading Edge Flight Training Ltd

We could crack gags about remaking Top Gun.

Instead, we’ll reprint this great TripAdvisor review from a gentleman who bought a flight simulation experience with Leading Edge Flight Training:

‘Up, up and away. My nephew and I (both enthusiastic and – so we thought – experienced) flight sim aficionados, were given vouchers for a flight sim session each at Leading Edge. What a brilliant time we had and – if you’ll excuse the pun – it really brought us down to earth, being shown how to get the best out of a flight simulator.

‘Probably the closest we could come to doing the real thing (without it costing you the Earth) and definitely whets the appetite for going up in one of their actual aircraft. I’m 67 years old, and this experience proved that age doesn’t need to be a barrier to learning to fly! Many thanks for a really great time.’

If you know anyone who would love to have the experience of getting to grips with an aircraft’s controls, this Big Deal is the perfect gift.

You may not be the next Maverick or get to be bessie friends with Tom but you will get to take to the virtual skies in a state of the art flight simulator.

Fly a virtual plane

Available seven days a week at Glasgow airport, the offer is for one person to enjoy a simulated flight experience in a FAA-Approved light aircraft flight simulator or the recently installed Boeing 737 simulator at Leading Edge Flight Training.

Options one and two are for a 30 or 60 minute simulator experience using the light aircraft flight simulator.

Guests will have control of the Flight and Navigation Procedure Trainer as the virtual plane flies through different conditions.

Used to train commercial pilots, the simulator is incredibly lifelike. This is as close as you can get to flying a plane without having to know where the parachutes are kept.

Options three and four are for a 40 or a 90 minute experience in the Boeing 737 flight simulator. This is the big one and Leading Edge Flight Training have the only Boeing 737 simulator in Scotland.

Guests will be briefed on aircraft controls, take-off and landing.

Your flight will be directed by a Civil Aviation Authority instructor.

Happy sky pilots

Leading Edge Flight Training have lots of friends on social media. These two reviews are from their Facebook page. We have edited them all for length:

‘Went along for a one hour flight simulator. It was great. After successfully keeping the aircraft level, then landing it at Glasgow airport in nice weather, the tactics were changed and I was all of a sudden trying to land in the dark, in pouring rain and thunderstorms. It was challenging but awesome. The instructor gives good instructions on how to operate the aircraft…. Definitely recommend this.’

‘I was given a one hour shot of the simulator as a Xmas present and absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed the technical nature of trying to land while operating all the different instruments. Very challenging.’

Amazing gift idea

This Big Deal with Leading Edge Flight Training would make the perfect present for the flyboy, or girl, in your life.

Top Gun jokes aside, it could also be a useful taster for anyone thinking about trying for their pilot’s licence.

Take to the skies with today’s Big Deal from Leading Edge Flight Training and see if you enjoy having your head in the clouds.
