We are pleased to announce the appointment of Eetu Peuraniemi as our new Chief Flight Instructor.
Martin Berner, who has been in the role since 2022, announced he is stepping down as CFI, and will continue as an AW139 instructor and ensure a smooth transition.
Eetu has a strong history with Coptersafety, previously as the Lead H145 Instructor, as well as an extensive career in Search and Rescue, Offshore, and HEMS. His experience has provided a deep understanding of Coptersafety’s customers’ needs and continuing to support the mission in helping helicopter operators minimize safety risks through simulator training.
"I want to thank Martin for his contribution as a CFI to Coptersafety. Your dedication and efforts are deeply appreciated,” stated Mikko Kallio, Coptersafety’s Head of Training. “I am pleased to welcome Eetu as a CFI. His long career as a pilot in the industry as well as his vast instructor experience in several roles at Coptersafety will give him a perfect background to successfully manage his new role!”
