2BeAPilot has teamed up with iPILOT to offer one of our lucky readers a free 30 minute flight in a 737 flight simulator at the Westfield Shopping Mall in the heart of London.

Our competition winner will be given the opportunity to fly the 737-800NG under the direct instruction of a fully qualified pilot! No previous flying experience is necessary as IPilot's instructors are fully trained to give you a truly memorable experience whether you are a novice or a current pilot licence holder.

To be eligible for our competition you must be able to attend the iPILOT training centre at the Westfeild Shopping Mall at Shephards Bush in London at a time and date of your choosing (subject to availability).

iPILOT currently has two 737-800NG simulators at their London location, these simulators are full replicas with all of the controls, displays and buttons that you will find on the real aircraft. The simulator itself is driven by Lookheed's professional flight simulation software to provide a truly realistic experience. In fact iPILOT even train real pilots who are looking to hone their skills.

This is a rare opportunity for you to get at the controls of one of these simulators at no cost to you. iPILOT will tailor the experience to your level of ability. You will be given the opportunity to handle a large commerical jet. Your experience can include whatever you like including takeoffs and landings at an airport of your choice!
