Safety Flight Achieves the First Entrol Simulator Certification in Brazil
Entrol recently announced the official certification of an FTD Level 5 simulator by the ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil). This marks a major milestone as the first Entrol device to be certified in the country, opening up new growth opportunities in one of the most prominent global helicopter markets.
The certified device is a customized H145 FTD Level 5 operated by the prestigious Brazilian flight school, Safety Flight. Installed in early 2024 and fully homologated after a process with the authorities, the simulator is specifically tailored for internal training, twin-engine transitions, and advanced IFR-H instruction.
Tailored engineering and fleet integration
To meet the school’s precise operational requirements, Entrol developed a highly versatile configuration focused on maximizing training efficiency for twin- engine platforms.
A key highlight of this customized H45 unit is the incorporation of a dedicated tactile vibration system. This addition allows pilots to recognize critical aerodynamic states through physical sensation, providing
an immersive and realistic
environment crucial for high-complexity mission training and regulatory
compliance. This addition allows pilots to recognize critical aerodynamic states through physical sensation, providing an immersive and realistic environment crucial for high-complexity mission training and regulatory compliance.
A relationship built on world-class after-sales service
This milestone strengthens a long-term partnership that began in 2020. After experiencing the reliability of their first Entrol device (an EC135-based simulator) delivered in 2022, Safety Flight decided to expand their fleet with the H145, driven heavily by the manufacturer’s top-tier support.
Antonio Gallucci, CEO of Safety Flight, shared a deep perspective on their journey and why they trust Entrol:
“We started our professional life in 1984, when we began the
basic helicopter
pilot course; back then, there were only four schools in Brazil. Throughout this journey, after executing numerous helicopter
missions in the Amazon
rainforest, offshore, and executive flights, we decided to undertake our biggest flight: the transmission of accumulated knowledge. In 2020, we saw Entrol on the internet and envisioned the possibility of a great leap.
After establishing a partnership with Entrol, which proved to have state-of-the- art equipment, we also verified something
even more important: first-class, after- sales service. For this reason, we received our second simulator, the H145. After a long process with ANAC, we received the homologation of our FTD, which allowed for even more professional training. With this equipment, we can demonstrate something we have affirmed throughout our careers: it is possible to ‘humanize the methods and not robotize the pilots.’”
Consolidating presence in South America
Securing this first ANAC approval confirms that Entrol’s technology adapts seamlessly to the strict regulatory and technical demands of the Brazilian market, paving the way for future projects in South America.
Juanjo Lechosa, business development manager at Entrol, highlights the commercial impact of this achievement: “The certification by ANAC is a cornerstone in our strategy for Brazil. It confirms that our technology not only meets the highest technical standards but also responds perfectly to the specific regulatory requirements of the Brazilian market. We are proud to support Safety Flight once again in their mission to provide top-tier training, backed by our commitment to long-term technical support and innovation.”
