Flying is one of humanity’s oldest dreams. Some of us chase that dream by aiming to become pilots, while others simply want to experience the thrill of stepping into the cockpit just once.
Whether you’re a pilot candidate preparing for exams or an aviation enthusiast who wants to fly just once, flight simulators offer you the closest experience to real flight.
Flight Simulators: What They Are and Why They Matter?
Flight simulators are one of the most powerful tools at the intersection of modern technology and aviation. These systems replicate the structure of a real cockpit, making it possible to control aircraft like the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320. Flight dynamics, system failures, weather conditions, and more—it’s all under your command.
For pilot candidates, this means the chance to repeat scenarios as many times as needed before exams. You can safely practice the exact situations you might face in real tests and sharpen your reflexes without any risk.
For non-pilots, it’s an unforgettable experience. Feeling what it’s like to fly an aircraft in a safe environment, sitting in a real cockpit, and taking control of the skies can turn an ordinary day into a lifelong memory.
Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 Simulator Training
Sky Aviation offers specialized simulator training for two major passenger aircraft types at its facilities located in Istanbul:
- Boeing 737 Simulator: With a classic button-based cockpit layout, this aircraft is where many airline pilots begin their careers.
- Airbus A320 Simulator: Featuring a modern cockpit design, it operates with a digital interface and fly-by-wire system. This simulator provides the next-generation flight experience.
A Realistic Flight Experience in Istanbul
Our simulators are available at our facilities in Istanbul. Participants, after receiving basic orientation and simulator usage training, can directly enter the cockpit and experience their own flight scenarios.
For example:
- Take off from Istanbul and land at another airport
- Emergency scenarios in challenging weather conditions
- Technical issues like engine failure or loss of hydraulic systems, which could appear in exams…
- All of these situations can be experienced firsthand in the simulator environment.
Who Can Participate?
Pilot Candidates: Individuals who are in flight school and preparing for PPL or ATPL exams.
Licensed Pilots: Professionals who want to undergo a renewal exam, sim check, or practice procedures.
Aviation Enthusiasts: Anyone with no flight experience but who dreams of flying an aircraft.
Flying in a Simulator is Not Just Training, It’s an Experience
Whether it’s your career goal or a childhood dream… Sky Aviation’s flight simulation offers you not just training, but an unforgettable experience where you step into a real cockpit and take control of the skies with your own hands.
