Boeing 737 Experience Activity

Must Do Experiences

• Take off and land at your choice of international airports using realistic weather and airport data

• Experience simulated emergency scenarios like engine failure or severe turbulence

• Practice cockpit communication procedures with your certified flight instructor

• Get your hands on the controls during full flight phases, from taxi to touchdown

Hidden Gems

• The simulator supports live weather integration—flights reflect current real-world conditions globally

• Guests get priority lounge access with complimentary refreshments during their session

• Your printed certificate includes your actual flight data—take-offs, landings, and flight time recorded

What Makes it Special

• This is one of only a handful of Boeing 737-800 simulators open to the public worldwide—and it's used for actual commercial pilot training

• Every session includes 1:1 instruction from active or retired airline pilots, not just facilitators

• The full-motion cockpit replica replicates the exact size weight, and feel of a real aircraft

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Morning sessions (10-12pm) on weekdays offer the quietest atmosphere and most flexible scheduling with instructors. Weekend afternoons are busier, especially during school holidays and public holidays. Evening sessions (6-10pm) often have shorter wait times and great views of the Singapore Flyer lights once it's dark.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Take photos in the cockpit before your instructor starts the simulator—once the system boots, photography is paused for safety focus

• Best lighting is during daytime sessions when natural light filters through the lounge windows for Instagram-worthy shots of the Flyer skyline

• Photos of the live feed lounge screen are allowed but avoid recording audio due to privacy policies

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Singaporeans appreciate quiet courtesy—keep voices down in shared spaces like the lounge and simulator waiting area Tipping is not expected or customary here, though a handwritten thank-you note to your instructor is always appreciated Remove shoes before entering the lounge’s private VIP sections if invited

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• Christmas and New Year sessions include themed flight paths like 'Snowy Vancouver' or 'Festive London Light Show' landings
