Flight simulator opens in Dania Beach, bringing wonder of flying to customers
After seeing those long lines at the airport, we promise this next story is not about actual flying.
It’s about a new flight simulator in Dania Beach, for fun and learning. Plus, you don’t have to walk through security to ride it!
Deco’s Alex Miranda, who catches flights, not feelings, has more. Alex?
AviaSim flight simulators are so high tech, you’ll want to take one to somewhere sexy! Like Tahiti or Newark, New Jersey. No, these aren’t real cockpits, but they sure do feel like one.
Love to fly?
Joseph Cano Cedeno: “Fort Lauderdale, you’re clear for takeoff.”
Well, let’s go then! But skip the awful [Transportation Security Administration] line this time.
Customer 1: “It felt like wow. Like we were up in the air and actually flying.”
Because AviaSim, a flight simulator network, across North America and Europe…

You may feel like a real pilot in their airliner simulator.
Customer 1: “it just was amazing to be able to learn about all of these controls and all the things that go into it. And as complex as it looks, it really is simplistic.”
Joseph Cano Cedeno: “It’s completely equipped, and, uh, same as the airline cockpit that you have.”
Customer 2: “You’re really thinking you’re taking off or landing; you’re really feeling it, even though there’s no motion going on.”
But it’s a unique experience all its own.
Customer 2:”It’s realistic to where you feel like you’re really doing it, so it’s awesome.”
