Gold Fly is designed for people who want to experience aviation as a real pilot: the session recreates the whole routine from boarding and pushback procedures through two staged flights in a full‑scale Airbus A320 simulator. The first flight is run in normal conditions so you can learn the controls and the environment; the second introduces unexpected incidents to test your reactions, all with a professional instructor guiding each step.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MACHINE

Full‑scale Airbus A320 cockpit

The simulator is a professional‑grade Airbus A320 cabin—the same type of cockpit used in pilot training—so the controls and procedures mirror real cockpits and allow an authentic hands‑on experience.

THE VIEW

Immersive 220° visuals and realistic sound

A 220° wraparound projection with real airport maps and scenarios, paired with immersive cockpit sound, creates a convincing sensory environment even though the platform lacks hydraulic motion.

THE TRAINING

Real flight timings and in‑flight challenges

Flights reproduce real flight timings and conditions: you will perform takeoff, navigation and landing, and on the second sortie the instructor will introduce unexpected incidents to test your decision‑making—an experience positioned as unique in Spain for both curious visitors and aviation enthusiasts.

What the day feels like

What it feels like to be in the captain’s seat

The activity begins with a short instructor briefing and moves quickly into the cockpit: you’ll run through startup and pushback procedures, take the controls for a first familiarization flight, then face a second flight where simulated incidents force you to react under instructor supervision—an intense blend of realism, education and adrenaline.
