Coptersafety’s TRU AW169 full-flight simulator with Phase 8 avionics was certified at Level D by the Finnish Civil Aviation Authority (Traficom) and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) on 17 August, and EASA certification was added a day later.
“I’m very happy to announce that the long-awaited Phase 8 upgrade of our AW169 FFS Level D is finally ready for training,” said Toni Rönnberg, Coptersafety’s COO. “Coptersafety has very high standards when it comes to the simulator quality. Unfortunately, there was a delay in the upgrade process 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.”
According to Coptersafety, the simulator can be quickly configured according to the mission profile and is NVIS/NVG-capable. The company’s in-house visual model team can customise different visual environments in known geographic locations and landing sites based on customer requests.
FAA certification is expected later this year.
