Sim Flight KL – An Awesome Flight Experience

I was so happy to get the chance ‘flying’ an Airbus A320.

Last Tuesday, I went to the SimFlight KL at the SkyPark Subang Terminal.

Over there, we can experience piloting an Airbus A320 in a fully equipped cockpit, as if we are really flying a real plane from one airport to another.

Before we started, a pilot instructor gave us a briefing about the controls and other important stuff on how to take off, flying and landing the plane.

I didn’t ended well though, for I can’t control my plane after I landed, which sent the plane off the runway.

But the pilot said that I did quite well because I did not crash the plane, as that was my first experience.

The best pilot among my siblings was my eldest sister, Kaman who landed smoothly on the runway although she took off on the grass because she can’t control her plane at that time.

So she was rewarded with an extra time and she was challenged to land on the Kai Tak Airport.

She nearly landed into the water but luckily she managed to stop the plane before it reached the end of the runway.

She did hit some buildings on the way to the airport, though.

It was fun and I guess the experience was worth the money my father paid for us to be there.

The pilot is briefing me on how to fly the Airbus A320.

I sat on the captain’s seat which is on the left while the pilot sat on the co-pilot seat.

I was busy controlling the plane.

It was like being a real pilot.
