Loft Dynamics has received FAA qualification for its virtual reality (VR) simulator, marking the first such recognition for a VR flight simulation training device (FSTD) in the U.S., according to the company. The recognition for the trainer followed approval from EASA, a first there as well.

Loft Dynamics called the approval “a landmark in aviation safety and a pivotal step in bringing advanced flight simulation technology to pilots and operators nationwide amid intensifying demand for pilots.” The company also maintained that it further cements the increasing influence VR will have in the future of U.S. pilot training.
