WingsAcademy.sg, Singapore’s largest retail flight simulator centre, officially opened today.
As Southeast Asia’s premier flight simulation destination, WingsAcademy.sg offers an unparalleled range of flight experiences, with a current total of six simulators including two F/A-18C Hornet and one F-16C Fighting Falcon fighter jet simulators, a Boeing 737-800 simulator, a Cessna 172 simulator, and a Robinson R22 helicopter simulator. Each simulator is meticulously designed to provide an unmatched level of realism, ensuring that every user feels the genuine thrill of being in a cockpit.
To top it all off, the F16 simulator starts at a very affordable price of S$75 per 45 minutes, while all the other flight simulators start at S$95 for 45 minutes. This is much lower than other comparable retail flight simulators in Singapore.
“We are incredibly excited to unveil WingsAcademy.sg as the ultimate destination for aviation enthusiasts,” says Fabian Lim, Founder and CEO of WingsAcademy.sg. “Our mission is to provide an exceptional flight simulation experience that combines cutting-edge technology with authentically designed aviation cockpits. Whether you’re an aspiring pilot, a thrill-seeker, or a corporation seeking innovative team-building opportunities, WingsAcademy.sg is here to make your dreams take flight.”
The Cutting Edge of Mixed Reality
WingsAcademy.sg’s flagship feature is Southeast Asia’s first retail F/A-18C Hornet mixed-reality (MR) fighter jet simulator, powered by the groundbreaking Varjo XR-3 MR technology. These MR headsets seamlessly combine virtual and real-world elements, creating an immersive experience which is visually stunning and still authentic. Users will be blown-away once the magic of flight comes to life before their very eyes.
The Robinson R22 helicopter simulator is also the first and only retail helicopter simulator in Singapore. Now anyone can experience flying a genuine chopper, whether training to be a pilot, or simply turning their favourite aerial video games into “reality”.
With these cutting-edge flight simulators, aviation enthusiasts of all ages are guaranteed an extraordinary and unforgettable adventure.
Specially Curated Learning Courses and Training Programmes
WingsAcademy.sg also offers a wide range of aviation-related retail and corporate programmes and courses. For the student pilot segment, there are the Recreational Pilot Certificate Preparatory Course, Helicopter Private Pilot License Preparatory Course, and Airline Pilot Introductory Course conducted by certified and highly experienced flight instructors.
Additionally, WingsAcademy.sg is providing the corporate market with access to training based on flight preparation, planning, missions, and scenarios, which is a first for Singapore. This training can encompass team-building programmes for all levels, or leadership and change management programmes that are customised specifically for CEOs and senior executives. The corporate training programmes will be overseen and led by highly respected corporate trainer, Dr Michael Loh, who will be supported by senior trainers and WingsAcademy partners like BG (Ret) Ian Lim (Former Chief of Staff-Air Staff), Col (Ret) Andy Tan (>4,000 flying hours), and Maj (Ret) Robin Tan (>5,000 flying hours).
Supporting Singapore’s Manpower Needs as a Global Aviation and Aerospace Hub
WingsAcademy.sg hopes to increase the exposure of youth to the world of aviation. This will help to widen the pool of potential pilot candidates, whether commercial or military. Training with a simulator also helps to build muscle memory and experience, while enhancing the familiarity of flight procedures, thereby reducing the time spent flying trainer aircraft, which can be costly. The unique experience with simulators can also spark an interest in the aviation and aerospace industry, which will support Singapore’s manpower needs as a global aviation and aerospace hub.
