Interview with CTKI of Ansett Aviation Training Italy, Vittore Brunazzo

Recorded inside the simulator bays at Ansett Aviation Training Italy in Milan Malpensa Airport.

In this episode, I sit down with Vittore Brunazzo, Chief Theoretical Knowledge Instructor (CTKI) of Ansett Aviation Training Italy, for an in-depth discussion about modern airline pilot training, simulator operations, and the global footprint of the Ansett Aviation Training group.

Throughout the interview, we were seated directly in front of the Airbus A320 Full Motion Simulator while a live training session was taking place behind us. The full simulator unit can constantly be seen moving throughout the conversation — rolling, climbing, descending, and recreating real airline operating conditions in real time.

During our discussion, we spoke about:
• The role of a CTKI in airline pilot training
• The realism of Full Motion Simulator environments
• Boeing vs Airbus training philosophies
• Crew Resource Management (CRM) and decision-making
• Situational awareness and communication skills
• Ansett Aviation Training centres across Italy, Dubai, Australia, and Taipei
• The unique CL-415 “Super Scooper” Level D Full Flight Simulator — the only one of its kind in the world

One of the most impressive aspects of the experience was watching the Airbus A320 simulator continuously operating in the background while discussing the complexity and realism involved in modern airline training environments.

A huge thank you to Vittore Brunazzo and the entire Ansett Aviation Training Italy team for the warm hospitality and access throughout my visit.

More episodes coming soon featuring:
• Boeing 737 simulator training
• Airbus A320 operational sessions
• The CL-415 firefighting simulator
• MCC APS discussions
• Instructor interviews and behind-the-scenes airline training content

Recorded during my visit to Milan, Italy on 29 April 2026.
