In this week’s AFM Pilot Training Leadership Interview Series we speak with Balázs Bojkó, Chief Technology Officer at Propair Flight – which revolutionize the way new generations of pilots, whether future professionals or passionate enthusiasts learn and train. Believing that the integration of cutting-edge digital technologies, such as gaming engines, virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics, opens unprecedented opportunities to deliver educational experiences that are not only highly effective but also genuinely engaging and fun.

The conversation covers:

• Propair Flight is a technology company specializing in developing high-fidelity virtual training environments for the aviation industry. Their work includes creating 3D aircraft and airport models, flight simulation systems, and immersive learning tools that make traditional pilot training more engaging and effective. The company has grown into a 42-member team driven by the vision of transforming how pilots learn and practice across all stages of their training journey.
• From Simulation Design to Real-World Application: Propair Flight’s solutions go beyond visual realism — they focus on functionality, system accuracy, and scenario-based learning. Their technology allows pilots to train in highly detailed virtual environments that replicate real-world flight conditions, procedures, and decision-making situations. By combining technical precision with engaging user experiences, the company provides tools that enhance pilot readiness and confidence long before they enter a full-flight simulator.
• Bridging the Gap Between Academy and Airline Training: The company’s Airbus A320 Guidance Management Trainer helps bridge the gap between type rating and real-world airline operations. Designed as a compact, single-pilot device, it allows pilots to practice normal procedures and automation management independently. Guided by built-in software and training programs, the device enables cadets to gain hands-on experience before entering full-flight simulators or line training.
• Strategic Partnerships and Data-Driven Innovation: Propair Flight collaborates closely with AXIS Aviation to integrate VR and mixed-reality solutions into training ecosystems. Their joint work aims to offer full-scope training packages — from system familiarization to procedure trainers — while collecting performance data to validate training effectiveness. Balázs emphasizes that data-driven insights and certification are key to making AI and VR tools part of approved pilot training programs.
• The Future of Pilot Training and Propair Flight’s Vision: Balázs predicts that simulators will evolve into intelligent training devices combining realism with interactive learning layers. He highlights the importance of developing not just technical, but also non-technical competencies like decision-making and teamwork. Looking ahead to 2026, Propair Flight plans to launch an integrated training suite combining flashcards, questionnaires, and VR tools — part of their mission to modernize training while preserving the core values of aviation instruction.
