Entrol Lands First UK Customer

Helicentre Aviation Academy has become Entrol’s first UK customer, signing a purchase order for an H19 / AW109 SP FNPT II MCC simulator.

Early last year, following 20 successful years specialising in “ab-initio to professional pilot” training, Helicentre Aviation obtained CAA approval for the Multi-Engine Instrument Rating alongside the purchase of its first Leonardo AW109. Less than a year later, demand is growing as graduates of the Academy’s IR courses have successfully gained employment into multi-crew roles. This provides newly qualified pilots with career pathways straight out of training, predominantly into the offshore sector.

To further enhance the training experience, the simulator has been ordered with additional features including a vibration system, instructor debriefing station, cylindrical visual system with an extended vertical field of view, and IOS remote control.

The addition of this simulator enhances training capabilities, providing students with a more seamless transition to the aircraft and allowing the ATO to expand into the delivery of additional courses such as MCC.
