HZNS operates a combined airworthiness organization, and is a certified FSTD operator, utilizing a synthetic flight trainer, of which the HZNS is the owner and operator. Since its inception in the early nineties, HZNS has produced 27 generations of civilian pilots, many of whom have found employment in airlines around the world. The center is situated at Lučko Airport in Zagreb and owns several aircraft, including a DV-20 Katana, three Cessna 172s, and one BE76 multi-engine aircraft. HZNS has a team of 16 permanent employees, including eight flight instructors and four aircraft mechanics.

The primary activity of HZNS is the provision of integrated ATP(A) training to the students of the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences. Upon completion of this program, students receive a professional pilot’s license with a multi-engine and instrument rating and certificate to cooperate in a multi-pilot crew. HZNS is the only organization offering this program in the Republic of Croatia. HZNS also provides various courses and pilot training, including training for class and instrument flight instructors. HZNS provides continuous airworthiness to its aircraft while also offering similar services to other clients who own general aviation aircraft in the Republic of Croatia.
