Instead the iPilot simulator has been set up at the Dubai Mall and is being offered to the general public for flight experience and also ‘fear of flying’ courses.

The Boeing 737-800 simulator can be taken off and landed at any of the 24000 airports worldwide, all without leaving the mall. The state-of-the-art iPilot simulator is a truly authentic flying experience and it’s not a video game, It is complete with video screens that recreate the spectacular airborne views of real flight paths.

The cost is less than $82 for a 15-minute introductory flight

“Dubai is a great place for us to be bringing our accessible and affordable flight simulator experience, irrespective of the clients’ lifestyle or level of experience,” said Wolfram Schleuter, founder and CEO of iPilot. “Its location in Dubai Mall will give an extra dose of excitement to the visitors during their routine mall visit to taste the adrenaline of flying a big jet!”

The company said that  iPilot is not only the perfect experience but a great gift to give as well, from those with no previous flying experience through to skilled light aircraft pilots looking to try their hands on a big jet.
