At UNI-FLY A/S, we prepare experienced helicopter pilots to take the next step in their aviation careers through our TRI/SFI training programs on the Leonardo AW169. As an EASA Approved Training Organisation (ATO DK/ATO/046), we offer tailored pathways for both Type Rating Instructor (TRI) and Synthetic Flight Instructor (SFI) certification. Our training is delivered by instructors with real-world operational insight, ensuring relevance, realism, and compliance.
UNI-FLY's TRI and SFI programs offer a structured path into instructional roles with operational depth, regulatory alignment, and focused realism. Contact us to find the right instructor course for your profile and mission needs.
We offer three distinct TRI/SFI training programs on the AW169:
TRI (SP-FSTD) – Single-Pilot Operations, including simulator
TRI/SFI (MP-FSTD) – Multi-Pilot Operations, simulator-only training for TRI or SFI certification.
TRI (Landing Training) – Requriments for landing training previledges
Each course is type-specific and structured in accordance with EASA standards and operational demands.
Valid CPL(H) or ATPL(H)
Compliance with FCL.915.TRI or FCL.915.SFI
