Madrid, November 5th, 2024
Entrol, the manufacturer of EASA and FAA certified FNPT, FTD, and FFS flight simulators, has announced a new milestone with the development of its latest simulator based on the AW169, a modern twin-engine helicopter renowned for its versatility in life-saving missions, including air ambulance, law enforcement, offshore, and executive transport. This new simulator is set to be completed by 2025, reinforcing Entrol’s position as a pioneer in the simulation industry.
“We are proud to announce the development of the AW169 simulator,” said Luis Olarte, CEO and Founder of Entrol. “This project marks a significant milestone for Entrol, as it increases our portfolio to 25 different simulators, reflecting our commitment to providing advanced training solutions for every aircraft in operation.”
The AW169 helicopter, introduced in 2015, was designed to meet the rigorous demands of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Search and Rescue (SAR) missions. Its cutting-edge technology and advanced systems make it a complex aircraft to simulate, but Entrol has dedicated its top engineering talent to bring this ambitious project to life. “Developing a simulator for a helicopter with such advanced systems is a challenge, but it’s one that we are well-prepared for,” added Luis. “We have assigned our best engineers to this project, ensuring that the AW169 simulator will be as advanced as the helicopter itself.”
Implications for Entrol and benefits for target audiences
The development of the AW169 simulator marks a strategic move for Entrol, reinforcing its ability to create tailor-made simulators for the most technologically advanced helicopters in operation today. This solidifies Entrol’s leadership in the industry and demonstrates its innovation capacity to meet the evolving needs of aviation professionals globally.
For emergency service operators, such as those in air ambulances or search and rescue, the AW169 simulator provides a realistic training platform to prepare pilots for critical missions, improving safety standards and mission readiness. This simulator also offers an effective way to reduce operational risks by allowing pilots to practice high-stress scenarios in a controlled environment.
The executive transport and offshore sectors also benefit from this advanced simulation technology, which offers pilots high-quality training for missions that require both precision and adaptability. The AW169 is increasingly used in these industries due to its versatility and operational capabilities, and Entrol’s new simulator will equip pilots with the skills needed to perform in diverse environments.
Additionally, this project strengthens Entrol’s relationships with governments, security forces, and private companies looking for customized simulation solutions for complex and high-tech helicopter models. Entrol’s ability to deliver simulators for any aircraft further positions the company as a trusted partner for a wide range of aviation training needs.
Innovation and safety at the forefront
The AW169 simulator will allow operators to train in a realistic and safe environment, enhancing pilot skills and improving operational safety across various mission types. “This helicopter has a long future ahead of it,” Luis emphasized. “It was a natural step for Entrol to develop a simulator for the AW169, ensuring that operators of this model can benefit from enhanced safety during training.”
This simulator will join the ranks of Entrol’s existing AW109 and AW139 models, cementing the company’s reputation as an industry leader. “We continue to position ourselves as a key player in the industry, capable of developing simulators for any aircraft currently in operation,” Luis concluded.
