Frequently Asked Questions
A. Question: How are simulator sessions scheduled and booked?
Answer: Due to the rare opportunity to be able to fly these devices, the TSA and Pan Am International Flight Academy require the provision operate by an appointment only basis. Scheduling is booked on a first come-first served priority-only system. Once agreement is reached and payment is made, your flight experience will be confirmed with an emailed receipt back to you. Due to unforeseen simulator maintenance repairs, rescheduling may be necessary. Normally, these simulators are primarily used for airline pilot flight training purposes.
B. Question: Are there any age, height or experience limitations?
Answer: There is no age limitation or experience level limitations. However, due to seat height variables, 48 inches or taller is recommended to see the runway environment with the visual display system.
C. Question: Can I bring along my friends and/or family?
Answer: Yes. The simulator has three other seats inside the device and they can ride for free! For security reasons, only those riding in the simulator will be allowed into the operational area itself. Thank you for your understanding!
D. Question: Can larger groups be accommodated as well?
