COPTERSAFETY’S H145 D-2 SIMULATOR QUALIFIED BY FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA)

HELSINKI, FINLAND, October 20, 2022 – Coptersafety’s H145 D-2 full flight simulator has been qualified to Level-D by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Simulator Program (NSP).

Level-D qualification is only assigned to full-flight-simulators that meet the highest standards of the FAA. This is the first H145 D-2 simulator qualified by the FAA outside the United States, as well as the first H145 D-2 qualified for NVG training tasks outside the United States.

We at Coptersafety are excited to continue our expansion of our training capabilities, and with the addition of our second FAA Level D qualified full flight simulator, customers can focus on pilot training in a simulator with the highest level of qualification and capabilities,” states Matthew Presnal, Chief Theoretical Knowledge Instructor responsible for Coptersafety’s FAA programs.

THE FIRST H145 D-2 SIMULATOR QUALIFIED BY THE FAA OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

Coptersafety’s H145 Level-D full flight simulator is currently equipped with HelionixStep 2 avionics. It offers immersive and realistic training features such as cockpit vibration, smoke generation, 3D clouds, night and NVIS/NVG visual scenes. Scenarios can be taken from known geographical locations and landing sites by creating scenes in a wide variety of gaming areas and fields of operation. Different visual environments in known geographic locations and landing sites can be customized by our in-house visual model team based on customer requests.

Pilots and crews can now book to train in our FAA qualified Level-D H145 D-2 full flight simulator for all their training, testing, and checking, as well as NVG training tasks, among others. Look for additional FAA Part 142 course to become available in the near future.

Coptersafety’s Training Center is easily accessible from North America, Asia, and the Middle East with its convenient location only four minutes from Helsinki International Airport in Finland. Coptersafety is an FAA Part 142 Training Center, an EASA Approved Training Organization (ATO), and a GACA approved Training Center, among others.
