Flightsimmer training program
Lesson 1: Introduction to the Boeing 737
Get to know the cockpit of the Boeing 737. Important in this lesson is manual flying. You will learn the techniques for 'stick handling' and how to read the instruments. You will learn the most important skills for the following lessons.
The training lasts 3 hours.
Lesson 2: Performing ILS landing
An ILS landing can be performed manually or on autopilot. Both aspects are addressed in the second training. Preparing in time and accurately executing the checklists is an important part.
The training lasts 3 hours.
Lesson 3: Flying SIDs and Approaches
Flying a prescribed departure route (SID) and properly executing an approach is an art in itself. Even with the autopilot on. It is also part of our Advanced Course, and part of this training program.
The training lasts 3 hours.
Lesson 4: Full Flight!
The last lesson is all about executing a flight from A to Z. You start at the gate with the engines off. You fly a SID, and during the flight you start the preparations for the landing. Finally, it is time for the landing at an airport of your choice!
The training lasts 3 hours.

Manual Flight
In the “Manual Flight” training module you will learn how to stay in control of the Boeing 737 without an autopilot. It is a training that we also give to professionals. You will learn the techniques for 'stick handling' and how to read the instruments. Nothing is more fun than flying 'by hand'!
Anyone flying with a joystick or steering wheel at home will notice that it is very difficult. That is why you will also receive tips for the settings you can make at home to make the steering behavior of your aircraft(s) more realistic.
SIDs and Approaches
Flying a prescribed departure route (SID) and neatly executing an approach is an art in itself. Even with the autopilot on. In this lesson module you will learn how to apply the airport maps and how to tackle pitfalls when flying a SID and approach. We will introduce you to the different types of approaches and the timing and sequence of important actions. This lesson module is tough, but it will give your skills and knowledge a big boost.
Failure Management
The 'failure management' training module is for the more adventurous flight immersors. What do you do when an important system or engine stops working? You will learn how to deal with the consequences of a failure for keeping your aircraft safely in the air and landing it. You will be introduced intensively to the procedures, checklists and steps that must be followed to prevent things from getting worse. An intensive and exciting experience!

Unforgettable experiences of our visitors

The instructor was very friendly. I'm retired and will never be a pilot, but despite this, everything was explained to me in detail and with great patience. I felt taken seriously and treated with the same respect that actual students in training probably experience. I really appreciate that. Thank you! I can't wait for the next lesson!
Our flight to Copenhagen with the Airbus A320 was fantastic!
Thanks Simflying and especially our instructor and ATC controller Matthijs!
What made the experience truly exceptional was the presence of a real pilot. He started his career flying Boeings and has since moved to Airbus, making him a true professional in every way. His expertise and enthusiasm were evident throughout the session. He provided a smooth and engaging flight and generously shared his knowledge whenever we had questions.
Emotions play a key role in any adventure, and this one left us with a lot of positive ones. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the thrill of flying a commercial aircraft!
Therefor the simulator is good for Grading Training, and I do recommend this for colleagues industry wide to do training post their ab initio atpl, or when going into selection with an airline.

After constructive communication after the sim session, I expect to book a session in the future to experience the improvements.
Simulator has bugs but the new owners are working on it, good to see that feedback is being acted upon.
Great for grading training.
I am posting this response in a personal capacity;

Yesterday I had my second Simflying experience and now in the A320. Rogier is a calm and clear instructor who made this a fantastic experience again! Happy with it!
Location wise it's close to Amsterdam airport so it's a really quick taxi to the venue.
Upon arrival the attendant was very nice and offered us a drink before we went up in the air.
Once we got into the simulator, my wife got to sit in the co-pilot seat during the simulation. I got to try landing at some of the most interesting airports I could think of. The attendant also offered great places and tips during the flight.
The only minor negative I could offer was that we had added a video package so we could get some memories of the event. Unfortunately, the staff member forgot to set up the camera until the end of the session. Even still, the footage was lost.
I also wish the resolution of the simulation on the screen was a bit more detailed compared to what I normally experience on a home flight simulator.
Regarding both of the above issues, the company manager quickly resolved this and offered a small credit for my next flight when I visit Amsterdam.
I was told that they are planning some upgrades to their projection system to provide higher resolution for flying. I can't wait for this as it will just provide another level of realism while simulating flying.
I really wish we had something like this in the states that was open to the public. Thanks for opening up your simulator everyone and I can't wait to come back and visit you guys in the future.
The grading was successful thanks to SimFlying. Good price quality ratio compared to a full flight simulator.
Flexible. Custom fit. Indispensable.
Highly recommended, especially for professionals.
I came for a 737 flight simulation with my son and my father (a retired air traffic controller who worked at Fiumicino airport in Rome). Ed spent the entire session explaining all the functions of a 737 to my 12 year old son, conveying his true passion for flying. He also engaged my father in conversation, which made him incredibly happy and brought him back to his days as an air traffic controller.
Ed gave my son advice on what steps he can take to become a pilot.
I think Ed is the real added value of the flight simulation.
Even as a 'passenger' it was a unique experience!
The Boeing 737 flight simulator was incredibly realistic and immersive! The instructor was fantastic and the whole experience felt like you were flying a real plane. Highly recommend it to anyone!
I flew the A320, which was an excellent experience.
The instructor, a real and experienced pilot, shame on me, I didn't catch his name - is a very helpful, nice, kind gentleman.
Peter was there too and he is also nice.
The simulator was incredibly realistic. The panel, button and side stick are great.
Great experience!!!!
Keep up the good work SimFlying!!
Good reception and good explanation. The simulator looks really professional. The instructor takes you from start to finish in flying the Boeing and gives a very good explanation about it!
I absolutely recommend SimFlying and I definitely plan on coming back for another simulator session!
Would you ever visit again?
Thank you for the great experience and knowledge of professionals.
He was allowed to choose where 'the journey' would go, how long we would fly over land, where to take off and where to land. The instructor gave him so much confidence that you could literally see him grow.
Amsterdam, Dubai, Curacao, he couldn't think of anything so crazy. So lifelike, as if we were literally following a day of travel.
There was also room to answer all questions. What a skilled, fun and professional instructor can do in such a short time.
We enjoyed it immensely, my nephew had the experience of a lifetime and the icing on the cake was that we received the video within 24 hours.
Thank you SimFlying. You guys are awesome.
This experience was an excellent birthday present for a 16 year old, we have made memories for years to come that we will never forget.
A very nice experience, I can recommend it to everyone.
I highly recommend SimFlying to anyone who is serious about preparing for a selection!
Flying in the simulator of a 737NG, a wonderful experience.
Nice reception at SimFlying and a smooth and clear explanation of instruments and cockpit.
My wife was also allowed to take a seat - on the captain's seat!
Very realistic experience with the sound of the engines and the rotating view from the cockpit.
First fly around Amsterdam and land at SPL.
Then a short flight to Maastricht.
Top afternoon!
We had a good chat with the gentleman who is a real pilot. He was very kind to answer my questions about his life as a pilot, and he is a very nice person to talk to.
I highly recommend anyone who enjoys flight simulation to try this out and experience how flying an airplane comes as close to reality as possible.
Greetings,

The instructor was great and very knowledgeable and was already planning my next visit.
As a birthday present from the children, we were allowed to fly for 2 hours in the SimFlying simulator in Aalsmeer.
A great fun experience for me, two of my children and a grandson in a very relaxed environment with a very pleasant instructor.
For me, as a modest flightsimmer at home on my PC, it was a wonderful experience to be able to fly (almost) for real, with a grandson next to me.
As a 72 year old grandfather it was a surprise to discover that flying a 737 by hand can be really hard work, and it was a bit of a “fight” at times.
That is a big difference from home, where taking off and landing by hand requires no physical effort.
I was able to fly for 2 hours at “my level”, received a lot of explanation and of course learned from the answers to my questions.
And also as a technical guy we certainly enjoyed the simulator, we are a bit crazy about all those buttons and if we can actually operate them we think that is really fun, right… 😊
In short, an absolute must for the flight sim enthusiast, certainly also a pleasure to experience thanks to the relaxed atmosphere and pleasant instructor.
Dan, his instructor, explained everything well, great how he handled him, landing and taking off where you want, it was a very nice afternoon and we will definitely come back!
Only remark is that the image when approaching a runway is quite different. This gives you the feeling that you are flying diagonally towards the runway. A feeling like you have in real life when you have to make a crosswind landing. For the rest a perfect experience.
A real recommendation for everyone! And we will gladly come back again!
And what are the costs for that?
Thank you Jente for your patience and the good explanation. I enjoyed it!
I'll be back 🙂
Greetings from Rudsel Cameron
How I enjoyed it!
I'm sure I'll try the Airbus 320 too.
The introduction and guidance was also very friendly and lively.
Thank you, we will do it again.
Greetings from Seyf, Louay the future pilot, and Copilot Ella May.
Top instructor who explained and guided everything in a calm and relaxed manner.
Son very excited about this super birthday present!
From cold&dark cockpit to full startup, everything is functional, including the nose-steering wheel, the rotating trim and the perfect sound reproduction.
We were both very impressed with the realism.
See you very soon, we would love to come back!
Thank you Marc, for your expertise and your role as Air Traffic Controller!
Christian & John
Once again a very warm welcome by the instructor on duty Jelle and also a very nice introduction. A nice cup of coffee to start the "flying engine". The cup of cup of brainwork would follow during the flying session. On the program were the virtual emergency landing on the Hudson and a flight from Düsseldorf to Schiphol at night.
Although the take-off from runway 04 of La Guardia, New York went completely according to plan, the follow-up after the impact of the bird strike went differently than hoped and expected. That was a bit of a shame and several resets of the on-board equipment followed. I got a second chance from Jelle and this time we carried out the take-off from runway 04 again. This time the flight and the emergency landing on the virtual water surface of the Hudson River were successful. This was followed by the planned flight from Düsseldorf to Schiphol at night, based on a composite flight plan with a SID and STAR. The scenery with the landscape at night was very special, that made the experience very vivid. A beautiful landing. In order to make up for the lost time due to the technical failure of the on-board equipment, we made an extra flight from Schiphol to Eindhoven. This flight was also very successful up to and including the landing. Heartfelt thanks to pilot/instructor Jelle, who taught me the finer points of flying and his great contribution to the session. Hope to see you again. With passionate greetings, Mariam
Review about my flying session at Simflying September 28, 2023
Once again today I was able to have a great and special flying experience, this time under the guidance of and in collaboration with an instructor (and professional captain who has been active in Austrian airspace for many years). The welcome was already very nice and warm. During the delicious cup of coffee and the introductory talk during the briefing, he formed a flight plan based on my flight technical wishes, so a part of raw data, navigation and communication. After the break as a mindset, another NITS briefing was carried out during a circuit EHAM. This briefing went very well according to his assessment and my own experience and was also very educational for me. So all in all, with a very satisfied feeling and with a nice flight certificate afterwards I traveled back to Emmeloord. Many thanks Maarten for your great and cool contribution. Of course I will gladly go for a new challenge in 2024. Hereby a nice photo as an attachment with instructor Maarten this time on the F/O seat. Greetz on air, Mariam greetings, Mariam.

July 1, 2023
Today for the second time since October 13, 2021, I was allowed to go on a new and sim sensational session with a number of challenging complications, such as a NITS briefing, a go around, flying in fog and in the dark and also flying with RAW data, so in fact purely manual flying, with sharp turns alternately to the left and to the right and also trying to keep the plane at the correct altitude at the same time. Certainly very cool and of course also very educational, under the inspiring leadership of and in collaboration with the pilot on duty Stan. Very successfully completed according to his findings. And I can also use the skills and experience gained today as much as possible at the other very familiar flying addresses. As far as I am concerned, it certainly flies to more and that is why I would like to come back again on occasion! Many thanks for the very pleasant reception by the team and of course also the expertise. With enthusiastic greetings, Mariam de Jong.
I would like to thank SimFlying and my guide Edwin very much for this experience!
A great experience with professional simulator
Our instructor Daan, with great love for his profession, explained to us very well how the Boeing 737-800 works.
We certainly hope to be your guests again in the future.
regards Roel and Paula
100% recommended
Very nice and our instructor was very nice and told a lot
All in all a very nice afternoon and we will definitely come back
The instructor Stan is a very good instructor and transfers his pilot knowledge by putting himself at the level of his conversation partners.
The new simulator is a nice improvement over the previous model which I had used 2-3 times before.
Top video report of take-offs and landings for great memories.
Experience to recommend and repeat. Thank you.
As a former airline pilot I can highly recommend this simulator experience. Suitable for all levels, from inexperienced to professional.
We had chosen a 3,5 hour session, which we thought was perfect. The duration of the session allowed us to fly relaxed, with the necessary breaks to recover and to talk about different aspects of the aircraft.
The whole experience exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to come back for another session. Without a doubt, Simflying is a top experience for any aviation enthusiast. Highly recommended!
At first we had some doubts whether it would not be too difficult (dad is not the youngest anymore) but this was not so bad. It was a very nice and educational experience, the explanation was also fine, so a great gift.
Thanks Simflying!
