AviaSim Metz: Airbus A320 & Bell 206 Helicopter Simulators at ZAC Euromoselle

Flight Simulator Metz — Airbus A320 & Bell 206 Helicopter at AviaSim, ZAC Euromoselle

AviaSim Metz holds a distinction that no other centre in the entire AviaSim network can claim: it is the only location in France where you can fly both an Airbus A320 airliner simulator and a Bell 206 helicopter simulator in the same visit. Two aircraft, two completely different philosophies of flight, two radically different physical experiences — and both accessible from the age of 10, with no prior experience required.

Located at ZAC Euromoselle in Fèves, just north of Metz city centre, this independent AviaSim centre serves the Grand Est region and draws aviation enthusiasts from across Lorraine, Luxembourg, and the Saar region of Germany. It is one of the most geographically central points in this corner of Europe — less than 30 minutes from Metz city centre, under an hour from Luxembourg-Findel Airport, and readily accessible from Thionville and the Moselle valley.

Airbus A320 Simulator

The A320 cockpit at AviaSim Metz is a 1:1 scale replica of the real Airbus — the most widely operated short-haul commercial aircraft in Europe, the aircraft that connects Metz-Nancy-Lorraine Airport to the rest of the continent daily. With authentic fly-by-wire sidestick controls, full ECAM displays, autopilot and throttle quadrant, and a 180° photorealistic HD visual system spanning 24,000 airports worldwide, the simulator puts you directly at the controls of the airliner experience.

The instructor accompanies you from the pre-flight briefing through to touchdown and shutdown, adapting entirely to your level. Natural departure choices include Metz-Nancy-Lorraine, Strasbourg, Luxembourg, and Frankfurt — but with 24,000 airports available you can fly anywhere in the world. Up to three guests can join you in the rear cockpit seats at no additional cost.

Bell 206 Helicopter Simulator

Flying a helicopter is a fundamentally different physical experience from flying a fixed-wing aircraft. Where an airliner demands discipline, checklists, and procedures, the Bell 206 demands constant coordination and instinctive balance — it is an unstable platform by design, kept airborne through continuous small corrections of the cyclic, collective, and tail rotor pedals. The Bell 206 Jet Ranger is one of the most widely operated light turbine helicopters in the world, used in police operations, news gathering, tourism, and private transport across Europe.

At AviaSim Metz, the Bell 206 simulator replicates this experience fully — the feel of hovering, the sensation of transitioning to forward flight, the challenge of autorotation, and the precision required for a clean landing. It is a genuinely demanding and rewarding experience for aviation enthusiasts, particularly those who have already flown airliner simulators and want to understand the completely different world of rotary-wing flight.

Pack Full Experience — Fly Both in One Visit

The Pack Full Experience at AviaSim Metz combines A320 airliner time and Bell 206 helicopter time in a single visit. For aviation enthusiasts wanting to understand the full breadth of flight across fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, it is one of the most comprehensive public simulator experiences available anywhere in northeast France or the greater Luxembourg region. No other AviaSim centre offers this specific combination.

Session Options

Three standard A320 packages are available: Découverte Avion de Ligne (45 minutes, €109), Forfait Duo (60 minutes for two pilots, €169), and Forfait Évasion (80 minutes, €199).

All packages are available as gift vouchers with 12-month validity, delivered instantly by email with no name, date, or price shown.

Corporate and Team Building

AviaSim Metz has a dedicated meeting room and seminar facilities, making it a strong choice for corporate team building events in the Metz-Luxembourg corridor. The combination of A320 and Bell 206 simulators offers the most diverse group experience in the AviaSim France network.

Fear of Flying Programme

The Stage Peur en Avion at AviaSim Metz is a 6-hour individual programme at the controls of the A320, led by a professional flight instructor who explains every sound, sensation, and phase of commercial flight in real time. With a 97% success rate over more than 10 years, the programme is available by phone or contact form booking.
