Kinder AIRlebnis-Flug Airbus A320 • Shared Flight in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany, hands children ages 6 to 11 the controls of an exact replica Airbus A320 cockpit. In sixty minutes the experience turns airplane fascination into practical play: two children share a session, each getting thirty minutes as pilot and thirty minutes as co pilot, guided throughout by an experienced instructor. The centerpiece is an originalgetreu nachgebauten Cockpit des Airbus A320 with real switches, flight instruments, and flight dynamics that respond to the young pilots' inputs.
Families arrive and settle in a viewing area where up to three adults can observe the session for free. The instructor narrates each phase of flight from taxi and takeoff through cruise and approach to a controlled landing. The program is adapted to age and prior knowledge so younger kids focus on basic instruments and control inputs while older children can practice navigation tasks and radio phraseology. Accessibility is limited; wheelchair users can follow from outside the cockpit platform, which is reached by steps.
What makes this offering stand out in Frankfurt is its tactile fidelity. Kids will feel the weight of throttles, move the yoke, call out headings, and watch a realistic horizon and airport scenery fill the screens. For visitors to Frankfurt, a major European aviation hub, this simulator is a compact way to experience professional procedures without leaving the city. It works especially well as a birthday event, holiday activity, or educational outing for aspiring aviators.

Sessions are offered with instruction in German and English. Optional add ons include a USB recording of the flight, a printed boarding pass sent by post, and a small drink package for accompanying adults.
Safety, instruction, and fun are balanced. The instructor adjusts tasks to match each child and holds a short debrief so participants leave with concrete skills and a sense of accomplishment. This is not a roller coaster; it is a short, focused introduction to cockpit workflow, teamwork, and flight basics. For families in Frankfurt and travelers seeking a unique, hands on aviation experience, Kinder AIRlebnis-Flug Airbus A320 • Shared Flight delivers an unforgettable hour where pilot dreams are practiced in real equipment and under professional supervision.
