At Flight Experience, we offer group activities that are outside the norm. Our group events are not like anything you’ve experienced before - we create memorable and unique entertainment experiences to remember.
Developed with feedback from professional workplace and social teams over a number of years, our group events are a unique combination of:
Our group activities are centred around flying experiences inside the world’s leading flight simulators. Our Boeing 737 simulator is recognised by AU’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
We recommend small to medium size groups of 3-15 people to share a truly spectacular experience. At Flight Experience Sydney, we have two group event packages available:
Recommended players (per hour): 4-6
Package price*: $495 per hour
The Experience:
* Upon arrival, our certified pilot staff will brief the team on the day’s mission and each team member’s role in the scenario.
* Each team member gets to experience 45 minutes inside the simulator, including hands-on with the controls where they will be given a lesson in taking-off, manoeuvring and finally landing a Boeing 737 into one of the world's most challenging airports: The old Kai-Tak Airport in Hong Kong.
During this experience, you’ll sit next to one of our commercially qualified pilots as they guide you through the numerous instruments, controls and skills required to perform a full take off and landing.
This is a great way to learn new skills whilst everyone is having fun. Enjoy a healthy competition of going head to head with your team or colleagues no matter your professional background or experience levels!
This is our newest experience, sure to get your adrenaline pumping!
Recommended players (per hour): 4 or 6
Package price*: $125 per person
The Experience:
* Your group will be split into teams of 2. We play out a scenario whereby your group are passengers on board a commercial flight that’s encountered an emergency, rendering the pilots incapacitated. Each team of 2 is nominated by the flight crew to be in control of the aircraft and work through bringing it down safely.
* They’ll have a short, but sufficient, amount of time to manage this task - with the small complicating factor of having to land in a challenging environment!
* In the cockpit enclosure, they’ll take the controls and, using authentic aviation headsets, communicate with Air Traffic Control as they collaborate and problem solve how to safely fly the plane, saving the lives of the 154 passengers on-board. Our commercially qualified pilots will take the role of ground based air traffic controllers, communicating with your team through the flight.
* As each team does their best in the flight deck, the other group members will be able to view their efforts from outside the flight deck, or alternatively be amused by their mishaps!
There is a lot more on offer at Flight Experience, and we know how to ensure everyone is kept entertained at all times.
We have authentic pilot uniforms and hats for people to wear, and to ensure they remember their short lived commercial pilot career, we can provide signed certificates, photos and video recordings of their experience.
While teams wait for others to come out of the cockpit enclosure, we also have two Virtual Reality fighter jet experiences that come with Oculus Rift VR goggles that are sure to keep people engaged. Our VR seats are modelled over an authentic F/A-18 ejection seat, including rudders, controls and levers. Players can choose to fly over the mountains of Switzerland, the New York City scape or The Grand Canyon.
Our professional pilots will brief them on flight controls and instrumentation before entering the virtual environment, where they’ll take-off at great speeds, climb, turn and even perform military manoeuvres.
We can provide catering packages ranging from finger foods and alcoholic + non alcoholic drinks, to basic nibbles and soft drinks - all served inside our store. Alternatively, we can arrange a 10% discount with a variety of restaurants located around our shop in Darling Harbour.
Events are tailored for you. Whether training, corporate functions, staff rewards/incentives, team-building or simply an afternoon of fun for the office.
How long each person gets behind the controls is determined by team size and schedule, however 1 hour is the minimum amount of time required.
