The simulator hosts four persons: an instructor as a first officer, a guest in the captain’s seat and two observers.
The guest pilot can choose to take off and land at any airport.
With the flick of a button, they can experience day or night flying options and turbulent weather conditions like snow, wind or rain.
The guest pilot can even opt for aircraft emergencies like engine failure or fire hazards.
The recommended times per session are from 30 to 60 minutes so that customers can fully enjoy every moment while flying to the chosen destination.
Apart from the fun of flying, the Dream Aero is beneficial for pilots going for assessment tests and people sufferinbg from aerophobia (fear of flying).
