How much is a Sim Subscription?

There are two subscription types.

6 months – £120 per month (£40 per hour per pilot)
12 months – £105 per month (£35 per hour per pilot)

Both of these subscriptions are a minimum of 3hrs per month.

Is there a contract?

Yes. There are two lengths of agreement. 6 months priced at £40 per hour per pilot and 12 months, priced at £35 per hour per pilot. Both have a minimum monthly flying of 3 hours which makes up your monthly subscription amount of £105 and £120 respectively.

There’s no hidden costs, so if all you fly is 3hrs per month, there’s nothing else to pay.

What happens if I don't use my minimum 3hrs per month?

The idea of subscription is to allow pilots to split the cost of block hours over the period of a year at a lower hourly rate than ever before. We do understand that some months may be busier than others and you may be unable to use the hours in any given month.

Your 3 hrs minimum per month are billed in advance and if they’re not used they rollover into the next month up to a maximum of 7 months for a 6 month subscription and 13 months for a 12 month subscription.

This way, there’s no pressure or worries if you’re unable to visit us every month. You can use your three hours every month without issue or you can use all your hours at the end of your subscription. The choice is yours.

How do I pay for the subscription?

Payment for the subscription will be taken by a continuous card authority on the 4th of every month. You will receive an invoice 7 days before the subscription is due. There must always be an active card saved on file with us.

Can I do more than the minimum 3hrs?

Absolutely. Additional hours are charged at £35 per hour per pilot and are billed on the last Friday of every month.

Can I use the sim solo?

We do not permit the use of the simulator solo. If you require a sandbag, there are always Airbus instructors on site. However, if you wish to bring another pilot that is not a subscription pilot, he or she only pays £35 per hour to use the sim with you.

Can I use the simulator with a non-type rated pilot?

At least one pilot MUST be Airbus A320 type rated to operate the sim and have a subscription.

The other pilot using the sim with you only has to pay the subscription hourly rate if they are not a subscription holder.

I live outside Northern Ireland & the Rep of Ireland
