Take the pilot’s seat in a fighter jet simulator in Sofia. Photonika recreates the cockpit, core systems and the feel of real flight—high on adrenaline, safe and accessible.

The cockpit is single-seat, and the simulator room has space for a few observers—perfect if you want friends to share the moment.

How the experience unfolds

You start with a short briefing. Your instructor stays with you throughout—guiding you through the controls and assisting with each task. Then you take control and fly navigation and combat missions in varied scenarios.

What you’ll practice

The training is hands-on and dynamic. You can work on essential skills such as:

• Aircraft basics and primary controls;
• Take-off, climb, speed and course keeping;
• Landing on different runways and in different conditions;
• Aerobatic maneuvers;
• Flying in challenging weather and at night;
• Close- and long-range air combat;
• Ground-target attack;
• Coordination and flying in formation.

Who it’s for

Ideal for first-timers and enthusiasts who want a realistic fighter-jet feel with instructor guidance. One participant in the cockpit; observers are welcome in the room.
