  • Built on an AS350B specific cockpit layout equipped with real dual Garmin GDU1060 avionics. 
  • Features complete official Tunisian navigation data, 15 customized helipads, and specialized environmental effects like sandstorms. 
  • Equipped with initial NVIS capabilities, formation flight options, and a D-BOX vibration system as standard. 

Madrid, August x, 2026 - entrol, the manufacturer of EASA and FAA certified FNPT, FTD, and FFS flight simulators,announces the sale of a customized H125 FNPT II MCC simulator to the Tunisian Air Force, operating under the Ministry of National Defense of Tunisia.

The agreement, formalized in July 2025, marks the second simulator project delivered by entrol to the Tunisian Air Force, reinforcing the trust established between both organizations and further strengthening entrol's presence in the international defense and public sector markets.

Real avionics and high-fidelity immersion

The simulator's cockpit is customized to match the customer's specific AS350B fleet configuration. To ensure maximum fidelity and a seamless transition from simulator to aircraft, the flight deck integrates real Garmin dual GDU1060 hardware.

Physical immersion is complemented by a standard cylindrical visual projection system integrated with a D-BOX vibration system, providing authentic tactile feedback during all flight regimes and maneuvers.

"Working with military operators like the Tunisian Air Force reinforces entrol's capability to deliver highly specialized, mission-ready simulation devices," states Juanjo Lechosa, Business Development Manager at entrol. "Our goal with this H125 project was not just to deliver a certified device, but to provide a tailored environment where pilots can practice high-risk procedures—such as NVIS operations or flying through sandstorms—with total realism and zero risk." 

Geo-specific environments and mission-oriented training

Designed to prepare pilots for complex operational conditions in North Africa, the device incorporates a comprehensive visual and navigation database tailored specifically for the Tunisian Air Force:

  • Official Navigation Charts: complete navigation data covering all official Tunisian airports, provided directly by the local aviation authority.
  • Tactical Landing Sites: 15 customized, geo-specific helipads across the region.
  • Environmental & Tactical Scenarios: specific atmospheric conditions, including realistic desert sandstorms and initial NVIS (Night Vision Imaging System) integration.
  • Dedicated Instructor Station: Dual IOS seating layout designed for both the instructor and an observer, optimizing tactical evaluation and debriefing.

The H125 FNPT II will be utilized for advanced military mission training, covering procedural drills, emergency management, NVIS tactical flights, and formation flying practice within specialized local scenarios.

With this delivery, entrol reinforces its position as a trusted global partner for defense operators, offering flexible, high-precision simulation technology tailored to public safety and military standards.
