It's an out-of-reach fantasy for most people, but a new facility in Salford means members of the public can get behind the controls of a passenger plane.

​

Simulator Adventures, founded by identical twin brothers Alan and Stewart Russell utilises a replica of an Airbus A320 cockpit.

​

The flight simulator has even been built onto a moving platform, so the cockpit will tilt and turn as you bank your flight left and right.

​

Available for groups of up to three people - with a qualified pilot at your side for those with no aviation experience - visitors will be able to tailor their flight down to weather, time of day and destination.

​

You can practice taxiing, taking off and landing at almost any airport in the world, and even learn what would happen in a disaster situation.
