Fancy Your Hand Do You ? Interested in cockpit building?     Want a Home Cockpit of your Own?   Want to know how that works or this works or are you just interested in just upgrading what you already have?       Come and see what it's all about.    Want to try the LLZ26 at Innsbruck or worse still the LLZ32 at Tivat ?    Can you read, understand and fly the approach chart?   Can you handle the 737 into a short strip of 1800 metres?    Let's see........ Flying the 737NG is a two crew operation, are you the man for the F/O's job or are you going to just add moral support?           Have you got 'the X Factor', the 'Krypton Factor' and the 'Balls' for the job? It Is Based Near  OSWESTRY, SHROPSHIRE U.K. The 737 is now virtually finished  and is 100% operational, so we are always available for TRIAL, DEMONSTRATION and EDUCATIONAL (I really mean FUN) flights into or out of any of the Airports listed to the right.   It's great fun with a two man crew. Just choose between any of the two airports listed and we can fly the route.  The departure procedure or SID, the Standard Arrival or STAR and finally the ILS, VOR/DME  or Visual Approach to the Landing Runway.  Or we just may even be able to find scenery for your home or favourite Airport.     It can even be done live 'online' if there is VATSIM ATC available at the designated airports. Or perhaps you want to see how the FMC/CDU is programmed, what it does and how it does it in fully automatic flight.   You might just want to fly the aircraft 'on the knobs' or if you are feeling paticularly brave, then you can handle nearly 50 tons of aircraft 'hands on'.  Interested?   Mail us at ian(at)737ng.co.uk and we'll see what we can do.  We are very flexible on time especially weekdays.  The only exception is we don't fly Sundays.    It's a fun thing and it's free, but if you want to make a small donation towards the projector bulbs and maintenance costs, these are gratefully received.  Maximum party size is two adults and we have to impose a minimum age limit of 18 years, sorry kids.
