Simtra Simulator Madrid: Airbus A320 Cockpit at Bernabéu Center

Flight Simulator Madrid — Airbus A320 at Simtra Simulator, Bernabéu Center

Simtra Simulator is the only Airbus A320 flight simulator located in the very centre of Madrid, housed inside the iconic Bernabéu Center directly beside the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. One of the most conveniently located flight simulator Madrid experiences in Spain, the venue is easily reached by metro, suburban train, bus, or on foot from the Paseo de la Castellana — and every session is led by an active airline pilot instructor.

The simulator is open to complete beginners and aviation professionals alike, with sessions fully customised to your level and goals. Whether you want a memorable experience as a gift, a serious assessment preparation programme, or recurrent training for OPC/LPC revalidation, Simtra has a structured offering to match.

The Airbus A320 Simulator

The simulator at Simtra is a full replica of the Airbus A320 cockpit, with controls and instrumentation identical to the real aircraft. The visual system covers over 2,000 airports worldwide in high definition, with full ILS, VOR, and NDB instrument navigation systems operational. Every session is instructor-led by a professional active airline pilot who accompanies you throughout, adapting to your level and guiding you through whatever procedures or scenarios you want to experience.

As an enthusiast, you can choose your departure and destination airports, set your own weather conditions — fog, rain, crosswinds — and fly a complete route with real takeoff and landing procedures. Emergency scenarios including engine failures, TCAS alerts, windshear, and ECAM procedures are all available and can be introduced at any point during the session. The cockpit feels and responds exactly as the real aircraft does.

For Aviation Enthusiasts

Leisure sessions are open to all ages and require no prior aviation knowledge. The instructor guides you from cockpit familiarisation through engine start, taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing, adapting the level of detail to whatever suits you. Options include local airport circuits, short-haul point-to-point routes, and long commercial flights. Fear of flying sessions are also available — working with an active pilot in the simulator to understand real flight sensations and procedures in a completely safe environment.

Assessment preparation packages range from the Basic Package (2 hours theory, 5 hours interview preparation, 4 hours simulator, €650 ex-VAT) to the Advanced Package (4 hours theory, 10 hours interview preparation, 8 hours simulator, €1,250 ex-VAT), both including airline company instructor support and bilingual interview preparation.
