👥 Cockpit Capacity, Guests & Seating
Cockpit Capacity: 6 people are included in the base package. Additional guests can be added at extra cost, up to a maximum of 7 people total. A maximum of 5 people can be in the cockpit at any one time, with the remaining guests seated immediately behind the cockpit in the aircraft’s original Business Class seating.
All Guests on Booking: All guests attending must be included on the paid booking, whether they are flying, sharing the controls, spectating in the cockpit, or sitting in the Business Class seating.
Swapping During Experience: Guests can swap between the cockpit and Business Class seating during the experience, so everyone can be involved while keeping a maximum of 5 people in the cockpit at one time.
♿ Physical Accessibility & Flight Deck Access
There is wheelchair ramp access to the main hangar floor, cabin deck area, and aviation shop.
Flight Deck Access: Due to original Boeing 747 cockpit door width and airframe layout, wheelchairs cannot enter the flight deck itself. The transition into the flight deck involves two small steps, approximately 3 inches high each.
Moving between the pilot seats and flight controls is essentially unaided, although your instructor can assist with foot-pedal positioning or control reach where necessary.
Under-16s must be accompanied by a booked, paying adult (aged 18+). Because an adult (18+) is occupying one of your 6 included places, no extra adult guest charge is required.
All participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied in the cockpit by a booked, paying adult (aged 18+). Because all 6 included places are occupied by under-16s, you must add an accompanying adult pass on the next step (subject to our 7-person maximum).
