Entrol’s MR Hoist Operator Station prepares crew for real-life rescue operations.

Spanish flight simulator manufacturer Entrol has unveiled its new MR Hoist Operator Station, a training solution that incorporates mixed-reality technology to enhance hoist operator proficiency in mission-critical helicopter operations.

The Madrid-based company, which produces EASA- and FAA-certified flight training devices and simulators, has designed the new station to address communication challenges between pilots and hoist operators during complex rescue missions. With the technology, operators can train in simulated high-risk environments without the associated dangers or operational costs of actual helicopter deployments.
