Madrid-based flight simulator manufacturer Entrol is poised to deliver a level-5 Airbus H145 pilot training device to New Zealand aeromedical operator GCH Aviation. The helicopter simulator has completed the factory acceptance test, clearing the way for installation at the operator’s Christchurch International Airport (NZCH) headquarters by the end of next month.

According to Entrol, the device features the company’s Enwall Complete LED visual system to provide pilots-in-training with an immersive experience. This includes LED panels on the floor that allow pilots to maintain visual contact with the ground or the hoist area—a critical factor for helicopter operations, said Entrol.
