Dubai’s “adrenaline” attractions

7. TFT Aero Boeing 737 NG Flight Simulator (JBR)

TFT Aero is one of the world's first high-tech full motion flight simulators representing true imitation of the cockpit with the operating flight instrument panel of a Boeing 737 passenger airliner. Unlike the attractions described above, it is you who control and pilot the flight simulator with the yoke, pedals and control buttons on the dashboard. The only external assistance available is an experienced pilot in the co-pilot's seat who helps evaluate the air situation and supports the flight instrument reading and decision-making.


The cockpit can move in six projections precisely simulating weather conditions and physical loads during taxiing, acceleration, take-off and landing and air maneuvers of the aircraft, and the high-resolution picture displayed on the spherical screens contributes in a natural way to the overall flight picture.
