Loft Dynamics Unveils New At-Home Training

Loft Dynamics has formed a partnership with Trifork to develop LoftHOME, an at-home pilot training kit that extends the company’s qualified training ecosystem to Apple Vision Pro. The goal was to make its high-fidelity, regulator-approved instruction available to pilots wherever and whenever they train.

Traditional pilot training uses full-motion simulators, requiring pilots to train at designated facilities. This centralized model affects how often pilots can schedule sessions. LoftHOME provides an alternative by delivering simulator-aligned training through Apple Vision Pro, allowing certain elements of the training process to take place outside the training center.

The LoftHOME experience follows the complete pilot training flow—from cockpit familiarization and procedure rehearsal in a 3-D environment to briefing, simulator instruction, and post-session debriefing. It can be used independently or alongside Loft Dynamics simulators. Pilots and instructors can also join simulator sessions remotely using the same software and environments available in the company’s full-motion devices. The intent was to create a connected learning pathway extending from home to the training center.

“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," said Fabi Riesen, founder and CEO of Loft Dynamics. "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 pioneering spatial computing solutions that reshape how enterprises learn, train, and operate,” said Karan Yadav, CEO of Trifork North America and global lead for spatial computing. “Our work with organizations like Lufthansa Aviation Training shows how immersive tools can create real operational gains. This partnership with Loft Dynamics enables a new, flexible training model that can expand from initial skills development to regulated, multi-crew, airline-level instruction, all with a flexible, efficient and scalable spatial computing solution.”

Loft Dynamics and Trifork plan to launch pilot programs with select airlines and training centers before expanding to additional use cases, including aircraft transition, multi-crew cooperation, and operational and emergency procedures.
