Thanks to professional flight simulators, trainee pilots can practise common procedures efficiently and safely – and also learn how to respond to potentially dangerous situations. High-performance computer technology makes the experience as realistic as possible. Using the DA 42 simulator as an example, you can discover how modern flight-simulation technology works during our demonstration.

While visitors are not permitted to take the controls, you will nevertheless get a close-up look of the cockpit as our skilled staff perform various manoeuvres. With a curved screen showing the terrain and a live view of the cockpit display, aviation buffs come very close to their dream of piloting an aircraft.
