Flight simulation born from over 30 years of aviation expertise

Our fixed-base Airbus A320 flight simulator features a widescreen visual system that accurately replicates the cockpit and handling of the real Airbus A320, one of the world’s most widely operated commercial aircraft, flown extensively by airlines such as British Airways, easyJet, American Airlines, Lufthansa and China Eastern Airlines. Powered by state-of-the-art ProFlite technology, the simulator is overseen by a professional pilot with over 30 years of experience, ensuring each session is both authentic and expertly guided. Every experience is tailored to your individual goals, whether you are a first-time flyer or an aviation professional, with flexible session lengths available to book at a time that suits you.

Your Captain

The ProFlite simulator facility was founded by Rick Cordes, a professional pilot of over 30 years with a passion for flying and a wish to pass on his knowledge to others whether fellow professionals or enthusiasts.

The project was embarked upon with the aim of assisting pilots to remain current during and beyond the pandemic, as well as to embrace enthusiasts and those wishing to embark on a flying career.

Rick started his flying career in the 1980s and has flown numerous aircraft, including Boeings for British Airways, corporate and private Jets for companies and individuals and the Airbus A318, 320 and 321 for a UK charter airline.

“I’ve had the privilege of flying to most places around the globe, having operated extensively in Europe and North America as well as in Africa, Asia, Far East, Russia and China – pretty much everywhere!

I have instructed previously for a respected UK training facility and have always enjoyed sharing knowledge and passing on experience gained from years of world-wide flying.”
