Coptersafety is buying a second Leonardo AW139 full-flight simulator from TRU Simulation and will install it at its Finland training center adjacent to Helsinki International Airport. The additional simulator will be qualified to EASA, UK CAA, and FAA level D and is expected to be ready for pilot training in the first half of 2027.
In addition to advanced avionics, realistic flight dynamics, and high-fidelity visual systems, the AW139 simulator’s motion system will also replicate vibration cues and have a smoke-generation system. These features will help prepare pilots for offshore, search-and-rescue, emergency medical services, and other missions.
Coptersafety’s simulator fleet includes devices that replicate the Airbus H125 and H145 and Leonardo AW139 and AW169. The company is approved for training under EASA, FAA Part 142, UK Part-ORA, and GACA frameworks.
“I’m happy to announce that Coptersafety has been able to secure this additional capability to its growing fleet of simulators,” said Toni Rönnberg, Coptersafety COO. “This is to ensure we can continue serving the growing demand of our customers with the best quality of training.”
