Over 100 pilots helped into airline careers.

For a relatively young company, this is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of.

Our A320 sim-preparation students have achieved an exceptional record of success, securing roles with airlines including British Airways, Jet2, easyJet, Wizz Air, AirTanker and Qatar Airways.

Every session is tailored to the individual and delivered by experienced airline pilots who understand what airlines are looking for. It’s not simply about practicing the flying - it’s about building confidence, sharpening your performance and arriving at the assessment properly prepared.

If you have an airline simulator assessment coming up, talk to us about how we can help.

Welcome to the new home of 3Twenty Aviation!

We’ve moved into brand-new facilities within our existing building, creating a more modern, immersive and professional environment for our customers, trainees and instructors.

Our Air Traffic Control simulator now has its own dedicated facility, designed to support training, public ATC experiences and integrated pilot/controller scenarios in a more focused operational environment.

Our Airbus A320 simulator has also moved into a new room and received some major upgrades, including upgraded visuals, a completely new sound system, improved cockpit intercom, upgraded computer systems, new air-conditioning and integration with our ATC simulator.

We now also have a dedicated briefing/classroom space, plus a comfortable lounge and coffee area for visitors.

Most importantly, our A320 and ATC simulators can now operate together, allowing pilots and controllers to interact live during integrated training exercises and experiences.

This is much more than an office move - it’s the next chapter for 3Twenty Aviation.

We can’t wait to welcome you! ✈️

BREAKING NEWS: We think the missing capybara from Marwell Zoo has turned up at 3Twenty Aviation… 👀

Samba was spotted this morning refusing to return to her enclosure until she’d completed one circuit in the A320 and a full tower session at Stansted.

Reports suggest:
✈️ smooth on the sidestick
🎧 excellent on frequency
🛫 slightly too enthusiastic with departure clearances

We can neither confirm nor deny that she’s now been signed off for both flying and ATC.

- don’t worry, she’s in safe hands. Probably.
