Loft Dynamics

🚁 We’re one week away from EUROPEAN ROTORS in Amsterdam, and it will arguably be the most exciting one yet. We’ve been busy developing industry-shaping innovations that will be unveiled on stage with our founder and CEO, Fabian Riesen Riesen. He will be joined by Airbus Helicopters' Yann Guérin, Nov. 5 @ 11am CET. Join us at Booth #3089 and #3085 for live demos of the new features in action!

THE helicopter event of the year in Canada is fast approaching. The Helicopter Association of Canada’s annual convention and trade show, kicking off tomorrow, is bringing together professionals and stakeholders from across the industry—and Loft Dynamics will be there.   This year, our team will be in two places at once: on the showroom floor in Vancouver (if you’re attending, give us a shout!) and at Blackcomb Helicopters’ HQ in Boundary Bay (where we already have a full schedule of demo flights fully booked on their Loft H125 VR simulator for #HAC attendees).   We can’t wait to connect—see you there! #pilots #aviation #simulator #H125 #vr #virtualreality #helicopter

Our founder and CEO, Fabian Riesen Riesen, joins AirMed & Rescue Magazine’s Waypoint podcast to discuss the powerful and growing role of virtual reality in training for high-risk, complex emergency rescue scenarios. 🎧 Tune in: https://lnkd.in/gUhytcP9 #virtualreality #vr #aviation #pilots

We are honored to have participated in the 65th anniversary celebration of the German Helicopter Association (Deutscher Hubschrauber Verband e.V.. DHV), held in Bad Gögging, Germany, from October 11 to 13.   The event brought together leaders, decision-makers, and pilots from across the German helicopter industry, providing an excellent platform to showcase the realism, efficacy, efficiency, and safety of our EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency and Federal Aviation Administration-qualified VR FSTD.   Attendees, including seasoned HESLO pilots, experienced firsthand just how immersive and precise it is to fly with sling loads, utilizing mirror and vertical reference techniques in our simulator.   A highlight of the event was the keynote address by Dr. Philipp Rösler, who emphasized the importance of attracting young talent to the helicopter industry. Drawing on his extensive experience in both politics and industry, he offered invaluable insights into fostering the next generation of aviation professionals.   #HelicopterIndustry #VRFlightSimulator #FlightSimulator #SimulatorTraining #VRSimulation #AviationSafety #PilotTraining #HESLO #SlingLoadOperations #dhv  

🚁 Celebrating 65 Years of the Deutscher Hubschrauber Verband e.V. 🎉 From October 11 to 12, the German Helicopter Association (DHV) is marking its 65th anniversary—a significant milestone in helicopter aviation. Established in 1959, DHV has been instrumental in promoting safe and innovative civilian helicopter operations in Germany and beyond. To celebrate, Loft Dynamics is offering demo flights in our EASA and FAA-qualified Airbus H125 VR simulator at the Dorint Hotel in Bad Gögging. Whether you're a rated pilot or curious to experience the thrill of flying, our highly realistic full-motion VR simulator offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in helicopter aviation—and the future of pilot training. 👉 Book your session now: booking@loftdynamics.com #DHV #VR #virtualreality #LoftDynamics #VRFlightSimulator #HelicopterTraining #EASA #FAA #InnovationInAviation #aviation #flighttraining

🚁 ICYMI: EASA made a transformative safety ruling, removing the requirement for full flight simulators (FFS) for helicopter training and checking while authorizing Loft Dynamics’ VR flight simulation training devices (FSTDs) for all aspects of training and checking. The move highlights a broader regulatory and industry shift toward embracing VR FSTDs as a safer, more realistic, and accessible training solution for pilots and operators—an approach already proven effective by Air Greenland: 🎤 "Over the past few years, we evaluated various FSTDs with the NAA but found only systems that risked negative training. When we discovered that the Loft Dynamics device had been qualified, we reassessed and successfully purchased it. Since then, we’ve been able to conduct checks at our base in Nuuk, eliminating the need for distant travel. Our training and checks are now more efficient and timely." — Marco Peyer, Chief Flight Instructor at Air Greenland 🚀 We’re excited to see EASA’s ruling further validate the benefits of our qualified H125 FSTD. Our commitment to enhancing aviation safety and accessibility remains steadfast! We look forward to continuing our collaboration with industry partners to drive positive change and elevate pilot training standards worldwide.

EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency just announced a landmark new ruling aimed at improving pilot safety: the full flight simulator (FFS) requirement for helicopter training and checking has been removed, and Loft Dynamics' qualified VR flight simulation training devices (FSTDs) have been authorized for all training and proficiency checks. Loft Dynamics’ FSTDs are the only VR simulators qualified by both EASA and the Federal Aviation Administration, and they are the only FSTDs approved by Airbus Helicopters. With 15 FSTDs already deployed across Europe, our H125 training simulators are now the most extensively qualified in the region—empowering operators and pilots to meet their requirements safely and efficiently. This ruling signals a significant shift in the regulatory landscape, with VR FSTDs now recognized as a game-changing technology that increases both the safety and accessibility of helicopter training. It also reflects a broader industry trend toward adopting VR FSTDs, which is likely to shape global regulatory changes. From our founder and CEO, Fabian Riesen: “This ruling sets a new benchmark for safety and accessibility in helicopter training across Europe. Helicopter training has long been constrained by the high costs and limited availability of full flight simulators, resulting in increased travel time and expenses for regular training and checking, as well as the lack of realism and capabilities in other traditional simulators. With one-third of all helicopter accidents occurring during training and checking, there is an urgent need for more practical and safer training solutions. EASA’s updated regulations demonstrate a commitment to improving pilot training safety and accessibility through innovation. Most importantly, we anticipate a sharp reduction in training accidents thanks to EASA’s update, which removes barriers that made in-air training and checking the default. We’re not slowing down in our mission to make the safest and most comprehensive training accessible to more operators and pilots worldwide—whether for the LAPD or Air Greenland. We’re set to install more simulators across Europe this year, and with recent support from EASA, we’re determined to prevent every third accident.” https://lnkd.in/gZxh_n4k #VR #virtualreality #EASA #FSTD #FTD #pilottraining #simulator #aviation #pilot #helicopter

The 4th HHO Symposium in Baden, Germany was a great success, offering an excellent opportunity to connect with hoist professionals from across Europe. We were thrilled to showcase our full-motion VR H125 Flight Training Simulator and participate in insightful discussions about the future of pilot training. A special thank you to DRF Luftrettung and all the participants who contributed to the vibrant conversations and shared the latest trends and innovations in helicopter hoist operations. #AviationTraining #VRSimulator #PilotTraining #HelicopterSafety #AirbusHelicopters #H125 #HHO2024 #FlightSimulation #HelicopterHoistOperation Sebastian Schneider (geb.
