SINGAPORE — Instead of sitting in mundane training rooms, company bosses and executives can soon pick up leadership and crisis management skills by being thrownBe it leading a squadron of fighter jets into battle, or soaring over mountainous valleys closing in on mission objectives, the corporate trainees can hone their leadership and decision-making skills at a new retail flight simulator centre called Wings Academy.
While there are no age restrictions, users should be at least 145cm tall to be able to use the simulators optimally, the company's owner and chief executive officer Fabian Lim told TODAY.Mr Lim, 52, is not new to the aviation industry, having founded a private flight school called FlightSchool.sg in 2016.
“To me, if you come to us and find out that maybe flying wasn’t really your cup of tea, then we have done our job anyway. If there’s no good fit, you get to exit at a fairly low cost," he said.For instance, a 45-minute session on the F/A18-C Hornet mixed-reality simulator costs S$95 while aEach flight simulator has a slightly different setup.
However, users of the flight simulators will not experience the same huge gravitational forces as real fighter jet pilots, or actors in the Top Gun movie franchise such as Tom Cruise who famously flew the fighter jets themselves, do.Leonard Leong/TODAY The eight-hour programme costs S$12,000 for one person, with additional participants having to pay S$3,000 each.
"I think it’s a fantastic scenario, to lead a group of very diverse, talented, but opinionated people. How do you manage that? How do you get everybody on board without upsetting anybody?” he said.
