Coptersafety, September 22, 2025 - Coptersafety and TRU Simulation signed an agreement for a new AW139 Level D Full Flight Simulator (FFS) for Coptersafety’s facility in Finland adjacent to Helsinki International Airport.
This isthe second AW139 Full Flight Simulator from TRU Simulation for Coptersafety’s training center. Similar to Coptersafety’s first TRU-built AW139 Phase 7 FFS, this device will be equipped with a vast number of mission features including advanced avionics, realistic flight dynamics and high-fidelity visual systems that replicate operational environments. Enhanced with motion, vibration cues and smoke generation, the simulator delivers an immersive, scenario-based training platform that helps pilots prepare for offshore, search and rescue (SAR), emergency medical services (EMS) missions and more – all within a controlled setting.
Toni Rönnberg, Coptersafety COO, said “I’m happy to announce that Coptersafety has been able to secure this additional capability to its growing fleet of simulators. This is to ensure we can continue serving the growing demand of our customers with the best quality of training.”
Vance Ontjes, director, sales and customer service, TRU Simulation, said “We’re pleased to continue supporting Coptersafety’s training programs with another AW139 simulator, designed to meet the highest level of qualification. This next-generation device reflects our commitment to advancing pilot readiness through immersive and realistic simulation that is tailored to Coptersafety’s specific needs.”
The AW139 Full Flight Simulator will be qualified to Level D status by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), along with other major aviation authorities. The new simulator is planned to be ready for training during the first half of 2027.
