Loft Dynamics, which makes virtual reality flight simulators, is partnering with Trifork, a technology company that specializes in spatial computing, to develop LoftHOME, an at-home pilot training kit that allows pilots to practice real-world procedures and scenarios anytime, bridging at-home rehearsal with certified simulator training.
LoftHOME aims to deliver the same realism as full flight simulators in an immersive format on Apple Vision Pro, according to company officials.
The LoftHOME experience follows the complete training flow, from cockpit familiarization and procedure rehearsal in an immersive 3-D environment to briefing, in-simulator instruction, and post-simulator debriefing. It can be used with or without a Loft Dynamics simulator. Pilots and instructors can even join simulator sessions remotely, using the same software and environments found in Loft Dynamics’ full-motion simulators, company officials explain.
“Our vision has always been to make the highest-quality pilot training safe and universally accessible,” said Fabi Riesen, founder and CEO of Loft Dynamics. “With Trifork, we’re bringing incredibly realistic, regulator-backed training into pilots’ everyday environments via Apple Vision Pro, from their living rooms to the airport gate. The goal isn’t just convenience, it’s continuity: A connected training ecosystem that links remote rehearsal with qualified simulator instruction, empowering pilots, instructors, and operators to train more often and more effectively. Trifork is the ideal partner to help scale this vision and deliver lasting impact across the aviation ecosystem.”
Loft Dynamics and Trifork will launch pilot programs for LoftHOME with select airlines and flight training centers before expanding to additional uses, including aircraft transition, multi-crew cooperation, and operational and emergency procedures.
