Airplane pilot that I admired when I was young · · · Flight simulator of Tokyo Shinagawa let's make my dream come true!

Pilots are the top 10 occupations in children's future dream rankings every year.

I've loved airplanes since I was little ...
Now ... the story of a dream world of becoming a pilot ...

It seems that there are many such adults these days. Aircraft enthusiasts come to the airport just to take pictures of the aircraft, and there are people who are not pilots but are familiar with air routes and maneuvers. And the view of the sky seen from the window of the plane can be enjoyed by anyone on the plane, even if they are not enthusiasts. I think there are many people who think that an airline with many fans really wants to enter the cockpit of a real airplane and fly it.

This time, let's introduce a plan that allows you to experience such a longing pilot in a simulated manner.

Ota Ward, Tokyo. There is a simulation facility of "SKY ART JAPAN Inc." on the 1st floor of "Garden City Shinagawa Gotenyama", which is about a 15-minute walk from Shinagawa Station. The appearance of the entrance is very interesting, and it is obvious because the pictures of the cockpit are posted extensively. This time, pay attention to the flight simulator here. Well, first of all, what exactly is a flight simulator?

That's what!

A maneuvering experience program where you can sit in a cockpit made to imitate real equipment and experience as a pilot !! With a mechanism that the outside scenery is projected on a computer image, you can sit in a realistic cockpit and steer the actual flight. It feels pretty real. You can really feel like a pilot. It's already become a popular content among airplane lovers, so let's take a closer look at flight simulators.

SKYART JAPAN offers flight simulator of "Boeing 777-300ER" cockpit which professional pilots use for training in training days. Boeing 777 is Boeing's large jumbo aircraft. Since JAL and ANA possess some Boeing 777, there are many people who have actually taken a ride.

Of course, the simulator perfectly reproduces the buttons and switches in the actual cockpit. It's the same equipment that incumbent pilots and pre-licensed pilots are training, so it's a great opportunity for those who wanted to be pilots and airline fans in the past.

It's a full-fledged flight simulator, so it's quite different from video games. It is possible to set all the weather, airplane conditions, airport settings, flight courses, etc. Professionals train in such flight simulators and accumulate experience points to improve their driving sense. This system is indispensable in the process of studying for the exam to become a captain.

At Skyart Japan, you can tell your desired flight route just like a professional. If you tell the staff the detailed conditions, you can simulate it exactly. For example, "From Haneda Airport, Arrive at Narita Airport, at dusk". This is a really irresistible service for enthusiasts who know the air route. Some fans choose difficult conditions and try to level up, and there are also quite interesting combinations of conditions. For users who just want to experience it normally, the instructor will create the optimal route, so there is no need to ask. By the way, the part that is difficult for beginners and is on the verge of a major accident seems to be "landing". Of course, the instructor will also carefully support you, so let's enjoy the simulation with confidence.

For the time being, since it is a simulator, there is no need to worry about shaking, so there is no problem even for people who have never boarded an airplane or who are not good at it. In addition, if you want to fly, a participation fee of 11,880 yen including tax is required from one person, but if you do not experience driving, the tour inside the cockpit is free. Recommended for families or couples with small children. You can also add a pilot shirt as an option, so wear a uniform and become a pilot, take a picture and show off on SNS ♪

In fact, SKY ART JAPAN sells a number of goods that are irresistible to airplane enthusiasts. We recommend a wine cellar with a modified meal cart, a bookshelf made using a part of the aircraft, a table with a cover for the engine, and other items that true enthusiasts will appreciate. As a souvenir that can be purchased at a reasonable price, there is also a name tag cut out from the airplane body, so if you give it to a friend who likes airplanes, you will surely be pleased.

In addition, the plan introduced this time is a short trial experience that takes 30 minutes, but there is also a reservation plan for a 90-minute party airplane charter experience (including a 1-hour flight experience). It's a perfect location for an Instagram-worthy party, as it can accommodate up to 10 people and comes with a commemorative photo. Be sure to check this information.
