Hungary, Debrecen, next to the airport.
Our company is located in Debrecen, the second largest city in Hungary. The city is the location of several major investments. One of these is the construction of BMW’s new factory, the company’s largest ever investment in Europe. The city of more than 250,000 residents is characterised primarily by dynamic development.

Debrecen is easily accessible by car, public transport and by plane, thanks to the international motorway network, the international airport with permanent border access and the railway hub.
Debrecen, as the regional centre of Eastern Hungary, is easily accessible by car from all the surrounding cities via the M3 motorway and the main roads 4, 33, 35, 47, 48, 471. If travelling by train, it can be reached from Budapest-Nyugati railway station with Budapest-Ferihegy stop every hour, and from Budapest-Keleti railway station with international connections by InterCity trains every two hours, and by taking two and a half hours by train. Debrecen’s international airport is located 7 km south of the city centre, along the main road 47. Thanks to Wizz Air’s direct scheduled flights, Debrecen can be reached from many major cities around the world.

Developed in partnership with the University of Debrecen and ICAO, our campus integrates academic pilot training, research and innovation – from over 300,000 measured physiological data to cutting-edge studies on human performance.

A320 FFS
The Airbus A320-200 Full Flight Simulator (FFS), CS-FSTD A Level D with CFM56-5B4 and IAE V2527-A5 engines, Issue 2 certified, is approved for training, checks, and examinations.

B737-800
For the general public with an interest in aviation, we provide an opportunity to experience the behind-the-scenes world of commercial airliner operations. The Boeing 737 simulator has proven to be the ideal choice to achieve this goal.


Entrol A32 EASA FNPT II MCC
Our simulator faithfully replicates the onboard environment and functions of the A320 aircraft. All relevant controls, panels, buttons, switches, and other components match the real aircraft in size, appearance, and functionality.


Redbird Cessna C172 FNPT II
The simulator can assist pilots preparing for their instrument rating exam, provide practice before their first actual flight, and is also suitable for conducting certain authority examinations related to instrument ratings.


Entrol EN 1000 FNPT II
Since 2022, we have used the Entrol EN 1000 FNPT II simulator with SEP and MEP, analog and Garmin 1000 digital configurations, giving students easier transition to real aircraft and early experience with modern avionics.

PHAPA has been dedicated to assessing and optimizing the physical and mental performance of pilots and flight crew members for over 20 years. Our mission is to ensure that the highest levels of focus, resilience, and performance are sustained throughout the entirety of flight training.


As a result of our research and development efforts, since 2015 we have been collaborating with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This partnership, which has been officially endorsed in writing by the Secretary General of ICAO, represents a significant acknowledgment of our innovative work at the global level.


A key element of our program is a proprietary diagnostic method that takes only 6 minutes to complete. This world-unique technology provides a comprehensive overview of each participant’s current physical and mental state. The system is an integral part of our training program, and all students enrolled with us take part in this performance optimization protocol.


This service – with an estimated value of approximately €8,000 – is provided free of charge to our students as part of their training.
