SRSL spreads Entrol influence into New Zealand
This H145 FNPT II MCC simulator represents Entrol's third simulator in Oceania, further establishing the company's reputation as a trusted provider of advanced flight training solutions in the region.
The device provides a stunning level of realism.

Search and Rescue Services Limited (SRSL), a provider of emergency services in New Zealand, has purchased an entrol H145 FNPT II MCC simulator. The device, which will be installed in Q4 2025, marks another step in entrol's ongoing expansion into the Oceania region, following the success of previous projects.

The H145 FNPT II MCC simulator, featuring entrol's new Enwall LED visual system, is designed to offer an immersive training experience for SRSL. Key features of the simulator include: a realistic cockpit – an exact replica of the H145, equipped with dual GTN 750 Xi avionics for a highly authentic training experience; complete LED visual system – the simulator is equipped with entrol's Enwall, a revolutionary LED visual technology that eliminates the need for projection, providing unmatched image clarity and depth; mission-specific database – Envision mission image generator, designed for SAR, EMS, firefighting and offshore missions, ensuring a highly realistic training environment tailored to SRSL's operational needs; and additional features – the simulator includes vibration technology to simulate real-world flight conditions and mixed reality hoist operator station, allowing for integrated training with helicopter hoist operations.

The Enwall system, introduced by entrol, revolutionises flight simulation by providing a seamless and distortion-free visual experience with LED technology. This innovation significantly enhances pilot immersion and situational awareness, making it ideal for the complex scenarios involved in SAR, firefighting and offshore missions. In addition, the MR hoist operator station, a groundbreaking product from entrol, provides a mixed reality solution for hoist operators to train in real-time with the pilot, optimising communication and operational effectiveness during critical missions.

This H145 FNPT II MCC simulator represents entrol's third simulator in Oceania, further establishing the company's reputation as a trusted provider of advanced flight training solutions in the region. The integration of the MR hoist operator station and Enwall system for SRSL enhances the value of entrol's technology and solidifies the company's position as a leader in training solutions for critical mission operations.

“This new project with SRSL is a significant milestone in entrol's growing presence in Oceania,” comments Claudia Calleja, business manager at entrol. “It reflects the increasing demand for high-quality mission training solutions in the region and the trust that operators like SRSL place in our technology. With the integration of our Enwall LED visual system and the MR hoist operator station, we're not only enhancing realism and immersion in pilot training, we're also helping teams prepare more effectively for complex missions like SAR and offshore operation.”
