Entrol Enhances its Firefighting Training Simulator Capabilities

As wildfire season intensifies across the Northern Hemisphere, Entrol, the manufacturer of EASA and FAA certified FNPT, FTD and FFS flight simulators, has proudly announced the launch of its enhanced firefighting training simulator capabilities, now available for all Entrol mission-capable simulators.

The latest addition to Entrol's simulator range focuses on enhancing pilots' abilities to tackle wildfires, utilizing state-of-the-art technology and real-world data. Thus, the Entrol ENVISION visual database, powered by Unreal Engine 5, offers geo-specific terrain with satellite imagery, providing an unparalleled level of realism.

Pilots can now train under various conditions, with the ability to position fires anywhere on the terrain, manage fire drops to extinguish flames, collect water from surrounding areas, select between water, foam, or retardant, adjust fire intensity, smoke characteristics, and visual representation of burnt areas and tree top fire types.

The importance of training and education in firefighting for Entrol lies in the growing global threat posed by wildfires, which have become increasingly frequent and severe. By equipping pilots with simulation tools, the manufacturer ensures they are well-prepared to tackle these emergencies effectively, thereby protecting lives, property, and natural resources. This commitment to specialized training reflects Entrol's dedication to advancing aviation safety and its proactive approach to addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.

Iñigo Hernández, Business Manager of the company, says: “We are proud to offer a firefighting training for our simulators. The wildfire issue is growing worldwide, and we are happy to contribute our part to combat this disaster. It has been a pleasure working with industry experts to improve our firefighting software, and we will continue to enhance it to make the training as realistic as possible.”

Listening to understand the customer's needs

Given the specialized nature of firefighting simulations, Entrol collaborates closely with companies requesting the AT802 simulator. "We are not wildfire experts," says Hernández. "Therefore, we rely on detailed reports from our clients to understand their needs fully. Our approach involves not just presenting our project, but also actively listening and incorporating their feedback, especially during the final acceptance tests (FAT)."

The Spanish company continues to position itself at the forefront of the flight simulator industry by addressing critical training needs with precision and innovation. Entrol’s dedication to improving firefighting capabilities through advanced simulation technology underscores its commitment to safety and excellence in aviation training.

About Entrol
Entrol is one of the manufacturer leaders of certified simulators worldwide.
Since 2005, we have been driven by passion and innovation to deliver our customers a
complete solution, from the initial certification to the simulator’s lifetime maintenance.
With flight simulators certified in more than 35 countries worldwide, our resolution is to
develop high-quality EASA and FAA training devices to help flight schools and operators
provide the best training to their pilots.
