The flight instructor was an experienced instructor and very knowledgeable about the simulator and YVR. He took the time to explain the simulator prior to an obvious beginner and was very patient. The session was very satisfying and I would recommend it to anyone and may book a return session.

If you ever wanted to know what it is like to sit in the pilot's seat and fly a 737, this is for you.

I very much enjoyed my flight on Saturday and it gave me a tangible sense of life on the fight deck of a Boeing 737. Many thanks!

My son Alex took this "flight" and said it was awesome! Think I will looking into doing one myself.
The seasoned instructors at Fly Without Fear aim to prove that flying is one of the safest ways to travel, ridding passengers of airborne anxiety through in-depth seminars and practical simulations. In each class, instructors review the basics of airplane technology, from the inner workings of jet engines to the physics of wing flaps, rudders, and ailerons. After explaining the effects of inclement weather and turbulence, they demystify the process of a professional pilot’s training, which includes flight simulators and medical testing to determine whether they’re eligible to have wings grafted directly onto their backs. Within a capsule modelled after a Boeing 737 Next Generation cockpit, students take the helm of a virtual aircraft themselves, manoeuvring it through starting procedures, takeoff, cruising, and landing.
