Comprehensive Aircraft Recovery Training
At the KUNZ Training Academy, participants develop both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for safe, efficient and compliant aircraft recovery operations.
Theory sessions cover recovery stages, weight and balance calculations, safety procedures and the use of specialised equipment. Hands-on training is conducted on a decommissioned TU-134A and Airbus A320 at our dedicated training facility – allowing realistic simulation of all major recovery scenarios using KUNZ's own state-of-the-art equipment.
Standard course programmes are available for operators of all experience levels, and fully customised training modules can be developed to meet the specific needs of your team or organisation.
Why Train with KUNZ?
ICAO-Certified Programs
The KUNZ Aircraft Recovery Training Academy is the first institution to offer training programmes that are certified by ICAO – the International Civil Aviation Organisation. Enrol today to achieve the highest recognised standard in aircraft recovery management.
Real Equipment, real Scenarios
We do not only train in theory. Everything covered in the classroom is immediately applied in practice on our dedicated training aircraft – an Airbus A320 and a TU-134A, both configured to simulate any recovery scenario your team might face in the field.
Flexible Training Locations (On-site or at KUNZ)
KUNZ offers a range of training modules that can be conducted at our facility in Hahn am See, Germany, or on-site at your airport or base – making world-class aircraft recovery training accessible wherever you operate.
Decades of global recovery experience
Every KUNZ instructor brings extensive field experience in real-world aircraft recovery operations. The knowledge taught in our classrooms is not theoretical – it is tested, practical and drawn from some of the most experienced recovery specialists in the industry.
