Hire our A320 Simulator

Full access to our high-fidelity Airbus A320 simulator - no instructor, no structured course, just you and your crew. Perfect for currency, rehearsal and self-directed practice.

What is dry hire?

The simulator, on your terms

Dry hire means you book the A320 simulator for your own use, without an AlphaTech instructor or any preparation product attached. Bring your own crew, run your own profiles and make the most of genuine airline-representative hardware.

Whether you're a type-rated pilot keeping current, a pair of first officers drilling SOPs, or a group looking for shared simulator time, dry hire gives you the freedom to train your way.
