Is the simulator a motion platform?

Children can participate in a Kid session from age four; minors must be supervised by an adult for other sessions.

Pilot an Airbus A320 in Sevilla: 220° Heronfly Flight Simulator Experience | Airplane

At Heronfly's flight center on Calle Goya 17 in central Sevilla, you can step into the pilot's seat of an Airbus A320 without leaving the city. Pilota un Airbus – 30 min puts the controls in your hands inside a full-scale cockpit simulator with a 220° immersive visual system and realistic sound, giving you the sensory climb, cruise and touchdown of an airliner. Sessions are advertised as 30 minutes though the operator's description references 45 minutes of pure excitement; whichever length you book, the flow is the same: a brief pre-flight briefing with a professional instructor, cockpit familiarization, a hands-on flight covering takeoff, navigation and landing, then debrief and photos. The simulator is a non-motion platform, so all movement cues come from the wraparound visuals and authentic cockpit audio—this creates a convincing pilot experience without hydraulic motion. What makes this experience stand out in Andalucía is the authenticity of the hardware: Heronfly uses an Airbus A320-style cockpit panel and airline-grade avionics, the same instrument layout pilots train on. The 220° dome displays real-world airport charts and global scenery, so you can practice approaches into airports you know by name or try landings across continents. It's as educational as it is thrilling—appropriate for aviation lovers, first-timers and families (children in the Kid session from age four, with minors supervised). Practical details: meet at C. Goya, 17, 41005 Sevilla. Arrive no more than five minutes early; check-in is fully digital. The package includes the instructor, the simulator session and tailored explanations; up to three observers may join in-cabin. The experience is not recommended for people with severe claustrophobia, advanced pregnancy or certain mobility limits since access to the cockpit requires independent entry. The operator asks guests to bring comfortable clothing and a charged phone for photos; a fixed tripod is available for recording. Why book this? It’s a compact, high-impact way to try professional flight controls in a safe, weather-proof setting—perfect for rainy Andalusian afternoons or as an unusual gift. You’ll leave with a clear sense of airline workflows, hands-on practice with primary flight instruments, and a stack of cockpit photos. Local tip: pair your simulator slot with a nearby aviation museum or a tapas crawl in the Nervión district to make a full day of Sevilla's contrasting urban energy and technical wonder. Heronfly emphasizes a low-paper check-in and environmental care; note the experience is non-refundable and subject to punctuality rules. Book online through the operator's booking portal to see available slots; walk-ins are unlikely during peak evenings and weekends. The instructor-led format also makes this a safe way to introduce teenagers to cockpit fundamentals and radio phraseology without pressure. Expect clear safety briefings and structured instruction throughout. Bring identification if requested.
