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.
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,” Olarte 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.”
