Parking available right outside the front entrance, fairly limited though so on a busy day you might be skulking around the lot at the Crawley Car Supermarket next door. Friendly reception staff, they are diamonds, walk straight through to the cafe area, nice food selection, hot drinks, snacks to throw in your bag too, tables and chairs to take a break. Bit of a rabbit warren through the back, leave breadcrumbs if you want to find the cafe again, or the loo. The briefing rooms set the tone of the 80's but there's a central break area up there with seating, tables, a T.V. showing the news and a couple of vending machines for snacks and drinks to counter simitis. The 737 sim is a bit less impressive, expect a 46 year old Telex headset, ear muffs look a similar vintage, worn seat rail pins, slipping lap straps. Steering feels slightly worse than a Kia Sedona but just as unresponsive. Expect autopilot to engage after being asked to do so three or four times. Level Change will see your speed atrophy at least 20 knots level before descent will be considered. Alternate Flaps switch will helpfully just carry on running the flaps after you've released it where you wanted them to be, erm, think you get the picture. On the bright side, if you can fly this thing then you'll nail the real thing.

Very cooperative training program
Excellent training, great instructors and well-equipped facilities.
No free coffee! Joke aside, not the best of CAE centers. Dark and crammed.
Deli
The best companies in the category 'Deli'
