The school for "top guns" was born in Decimomannu , the campus of the International Flight Training School (Ifts).

The first courses started in July 2022 with students from Italy and from foreign countries such as Qatar, Japan, Germany, Singapore, Austria and Canada .

The official presentation ceremony of the campus will be held on Thursday 11 May, there will be the heads of the Defense, the Air Force and Leonardo and also several heads of the foreign air forces.

The new campus covers an area of 130,000 square meters (equal to 18 football pitches), will host students from all over the world and will be able to count on modern and cutting-edge infrastructure. In the Ground Based Training System (GBTS), for example, there are the latest generation ground training systems, a brand new hangar, a flight line for the T-346A, a new logistics and maintenance center, as well as new and welcoming accommodation for student pilots and school staff.

Decimomannu thus becomes a point of reference for the advanced training of air force pilots from all over the world who fly on technologically advanced fighters such as Eurofighters and F-35s .

The new education and training model leverages the Air Force's expertise in military flight training. But also on Leonardo's technological excellence, represented by the integrated training system and on the innovative LVC (Live, Virtual and Constructive) technology, an integrated simulation environment where real and virtual merge into a single operational scenario.
