Entrol H135 Simulator Obtains FAA FTD Level 5 Approval
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has certified the Entrol H135 simulator as FTD Level 5 simulator. This simulator was installed last year in Denver, Colorado.
The H135 FTD Level 5 simulator features dual GTN 750 spherical visual with six projectors, debriefing station and vibration system.
This FTD Level 5 has been the first Entrol simulator to be certified in the United States. In the words of Nacho Navacerrada, business development manager of Entrol, “It is a milestone for us. After developing a K-MAX FTD level 5 for Kaman Aerospace, we are glad to certify our first FTD Level 5 with the FAA.
“We plan to keep increasing our presence in the U.S. market with the same goal we have always had: offering the best simulators at the best price.”
