Copter Safety Supports Simulator Education Research
Copter Safety was recently visited by Anssi Salmi, also known as the Simulation Wizard. He tested out our AW169 full-flight simulator with Copter Safety instructor Matti Rytkönen for research.
Salmi is a PhD student at Aalto University, and senior lecturer at XAMK University of Applied Sciences. He is researching the use of all kinds of simulators as a learning device. His research dissertation is
titled “How to Build an Effective Simulation Learning Environment.”
The aim of the dissertation is to answer questions such as: What constitutes an effective simulator exercise? How great is the impact with realism? What about pedagogy? How is it possible to build an exercise that serves both the simulator and the real world? You can watch the full explantation of Salmi’s research in his video.
The research covers the use of simulators in various industries, not only helicopters and aviation. Other industries included thus far have been healthcare, forestry, logistics, and driving schools.
The result of the research will be a model for efficient simulation teaching environment. The aim is that the model will help educational institutions, as well as simulator manufacturers.

The maximum distance in miles of half the U.S. population from Columbus, Ohio, making the city a relatively short trip for many AMTC 2023 attendees. Rotor Pro plans to make the hop to the Oct. 23-25 HAA event, and also plans to bring bonus print distribution of our upcoming July- August issue to the hometown of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

As part of his visit, Salmi spoke with Sanna Kotomäki, our communication and business development director, about Coptersafety’s operations and the use of full-flight simulators for helicopter pilot training. He also flew in our TRU Odyssey H AW169 full-flight simulator with Rytkönen, to see the realism of the device.
You can watch Salmi’s video from his visit, now on the Simulation Wizard YouTube channel (in Finnish with English subtitles).

The number of attendees expected at the 70th annual EAA AirVenture Oshkosh this July 24-30 in Wisconsin. The annual aviation “Woodstock” made Oshkosh its permanent home in 1970, but it all started in 1953 at the Curtis-Wright Airport in Milwaukee when 21 aircraft and 150 people gathered to celebrate aviation.
1910
The year the Wright Brothers established the first civilian flight school in the U.S. It was located in Montgomery, Alabama. The southern state of “moonlight and magnolias” — and rockets — is celebrating another aviation first: the completion of the first academic year at the Alabama Aerospace and Aviation High School. The public charter school is open to all students and offers opportunities to participate in pre-apprenticeship programs for pilots, air traffic controllers, and aircraft maintenance technicians while earning college credits.
