COPTERSAFETY’S PHASE 8 AW169 SIMULATOR QUALIFIED BY EASA (Traficom) AND UK CAA

Coptersafety’s TRU AW169 full flight simulator with Phase 8 avionics has been qualified to Level D by the Finnish Civil Aviation Authority (Traficom), and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA). Level D qualification is only assigned to full flight simulators that meet the highest standards of EASA and UK CAA.

With the increasing use of the AW169 aircraft by operators, Coptersafety can now provide a higher-level of training with the latest avionics for current and future customers.

"I'm very happy to announce that the long-awaited Phase 8 upgrade of our AW169 FFS Level D is finally ready for training," says Toni Rönnberg, Coptersafety's COO. "Coptersafety has very high standards when it comes to the simulator quality. There was unfortunately a delay on the upgrade process which was to ensure that our customers will have the best possible training value and quality from the simulator, which is now in the latest avionics version."

Coptersafety’s AW169 full flight simulator is equipped with Phase 8 avionics. The FFS can be easily configured precisely to customer needs, regardless of mission type or weather scenario. It offers immersive and realistic training features such as cockpit vibration, smoke generation, 3D clouds, night and NVIS/NVG visual scenes. Different visual environments in known geographic locations and landing sites can be customized by our in-house visual model team based on customer requests.

Crews can now book training in the Level D AW169 full flight simulator at Coptersafety’s Training Center, conveniently located four minutes from Helsinki International Airport in Finland.

The simulator is expected to receive qualification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) later this year.
