Comment: LOFT is the anti-FSI. I was able to simply reserve a class date within a couple weeks of my inquiry. Ground school was thorough and on point. The CJ1 simulator is full-motion and is on par with others in the industry. Would prefer a full-up Pro Line 21, but the Universal FMS was satisfactory for my training.All in all, it was a good week spent at LOFT for my CE-525S recurrent.

Comment: This was my 7th recurrent training event at LOFT! It was outstanding as usual! I had David and Gary for ground school and they both gave fantastic class! I had Del for my simulator training and he is fantastic to fly with. I always learn something new at these training events, and this one was no exception!! I see a lot of posts on Facebook looking for training and I always recommend LOFT. Its been exciting to watch LOFT grow over the past years!

Comment: I have done my recurrent training for a CE-525S at LOFT for over ten years now. The facility is outstanding, as are the people working there. From the receptionist to the IT folks, to the instructors and the owner, they are all laser-focused on providing superb training in a relaxed and supportive environment. The tools they have are top notch, and I cannot recommend them more highly!Wick

Comment: LOFT was very accommodating when my training schedule was disrupted because of airline cancellations and flight booking changes. The examiner on staff called me personally while I was on the road to assure me that the training would take place regardless of delays.The training itself was first-rate, with the experienced instructor sharing tips and techniques to help me become a better aviator.

Comment: Trained in the CE500-series with LOFT years ago (flew the training in the actual airplane). Recently returned to LOFT as primary training center for our three Citations and have nothing but positive things to say. If youve tried the other big name centers you owe it to yourself to train with LOFT. Instructors have relevant experience in type and enjoy being there providing the training. Their tagline By Aviators, For Aviators could not ring more true. Thanks for another great training experience.

Comment: I could describe my recent training at LOFT as Excellent, it was a unique, simple and very punctual experience. The Instructors, Gary Guyot, Shawn Moore, very professional in instruction, and with knowledge that helped in each class, Thank you! A big shout out to the Copilot assigned to my sim sessions, Cobby, he was a very professional and very helpful and supportive person. The attention from Miss Emily supporting what was needed during my stay during that weekend. The facilities are small but they meet what we need. The instructional material is basic, digital and physical and is perfect. I recommend it 100%.

My class instructor, Jim”HUCK”Harris, my simulator instructor,Brian Sitcer and my simulator co-pilot Mason were all excellent. As always, I left LOFT a more confident pilot. Every year I pick up some more insight, knowledge and skill due to the experience and skills of my instructors. Thanks LOFT.

Comment: First time doing initial type rating at loft (C525) and have to say I’m very impressed for a private training facility being able to provide a great level of service. Very warm welcome by the staff and the very much experienced instructors.This training center is very much still growing, so there may be a few new nuances like scheduling and resource access that pilots aren’t used to compare to Flight safety or CAE, needless to say very relaxed atmosphere and historical ambience with a lot of history displayed throughout the building, not to mention the background stories in history from their instructors. That is what sets them apart from their competitors!Big kudos to Maggie Plauske for accommodating me and my partner throughout our training and answering every and all questions. Always attentive and making sure we’re taking care of. We really appreciate it and big shout out to our instructor Brian S., one of the best all around instructors I have had the pleasure of learning from.

Comment: This was my first time doing recurrent and flight sim training and it was a very positive experience. Everything went smoothly and no issues. Great folks there and excellent instructors. Very nice facility, too. The instructors relating their real-world experiences (okay, war-stories”) was value-added to the learning process and entertaining.For someone like me, relatively new to jet ops, their prep for the flight check and having a helpful right seater on-board was very important. I was blown away about how realistic the sim was. The flight check was quite a work out, but it was a good challenge and excellent training. Wish I could do it more often, I enjoyed working with Russ and Evelyn on that.The only negative for me was spending time in class going through all the manual performance book calculations for the CJ1 which is not done in the CJ3 that I fly. I realize that it is a mandatory part of the CJ1 recurrent which will not be an issue when they get the dedicated CJ3 course up and running.Looking forward to returning next year.

Comment: I recommend Loft.aero. They are a well-managed facility with experienced instructors (Roger, Jerry, Richard, Mason...) and friendly, knowledgeable Admin. (Brigit, Alison, Maggie...)Lofts main clients are experienced flight crews of three/four pilots, so if you are solo and this is your first type rating, I recommend you do these three things to be successful:(1) Get the training materials in advance via pdf .(2) Find a knowledgeable mentor who can teach you the main systems....the Annunciator Panel: (warning light comes on, what does it mean and what subsystems are effected?)Electrical system: (you go to Emer power, which circuits close, which circuits open, which subsystems are effected?)(3)Get into a class with other students, remember, you study alone, you fail alone.Knowing what not to study is as important as knowing what to study. Its easy to get overloaded and short circuit. (deer in the headlights)Loft does offer additional training at a fee. It was hard to find someone to study with since I was a class of one.The simulator sessions were fun, and you will have a second in command to help you manage the systems.The biggest things to ensure your success with minimal stress are having a mentor and studying specific topics before you arrive.Best wishes in your training. Below, I have attached a 26 second video of the Loft.aero facility.

Comment: I just finished a reduced initial type rating course at LOFT. I have been to several other providers for type ratings but LOFT is on top of my list now. I had a really awesome experience. Starting at the front desk when you walk in, everybody is so friendly and helpful. The instructors are all very knowledgable and very helpful. I like how they assign a training coordinator to you who will be checking in on you to make sure everything is going well through out the course. You can tell they really care about their customers. The facility is beautiful and I had the honor of being in a brand new sim which was top notch. Im looking forward to my recurrent training next year.

Comment: I came for my initial type rating for the CE–525. Historically, my experience with other flight schools has been hit or miss. Other schools assign you one instructor and you are stuck with that instructor whether you like that instructor or not. At Loft, you are assigned a different instructor every day. Initially, I was skeptical. As it turns out, each instructor brought a different perspective and a plethora of priceless experience. The environment in the classroom and in the SIM was professional but relaxed with emphasis on relaxed or better said, stress-free. Everyone at Loft went above and beyond to help me gain my Type Rating and ensure my expectations were met. I left more confident as a pilot and left knowing I had made new friends. I look forward to going back and believe me, I have never looked forward to going to any SIM school before. Many thanks to everyone at loft for your kindness, patience, and professionalism. You exceeded all my expectations.

Comment: I had a ton of fun getting my first type rating at the LOFT CRQ facility. Almost every day you get a new instructor and their combined experience is invaluable. From former F18 aircraft carrier pilots to retired major airline captains, each one of them brings their own unique perspective and a way of teaching, if something wasn’t clear to you from one instructor, then another one will explain it in a different way, they welcome questions! I’m looking forward to getting more type ratings at this Carlsbad LOFT facility.

Comment: Outstanding experience at Loft! I went for an initial PIC with just 25 multi and no turbine time and the instructors got me above and beyond where I needed to be. I was more confident and flew better on that check ride than I have on any in the past thanks to instructors Ali and Dell, my FO Michel and many others! I keep trying to talk my company into letting me go back for recurrent. No luck so far unfortunately.

Comment: Absolutely the best! I have been to many simulator companies for initials and recurrent’s. I came all the way from the east coast because of the positive words from pilots in my area. I asked for extra help with oral checkride prep and the wonderful lady’s in the front had me an instructor that worked extra with me the same day! I wanted to make sure I was 100% ready for the checkride! Every instructor I worked with were amazing!Will be back!!!!

Comment: Very knowledgable instructors and attentive account representatives.I attended the CE-525S recurrent course here after being out of the airplane for 5 years. The ladies were very intentional with getting me signed up and making sure I had everything I needed during my stay. Rental car, hotel, etc.The instructors were not just knowledgeable of my airplane... They have actually flown these airplanes! Which is Way more useful when asking operational questions to an instructor that isnt just a sim instructor. You all know what Im talking about! ;-)My examiner was fantastic as well. Ill call him without hesitation if I have a question about these airplanes.I came out of this training feeling Very confident in getting back in this airplane after so long.Ill give this training facility two thumbs up and will be coming back.Only thing Id say against them is that they dont have King Air and Falcon sims for me to do those recurrents in.Krystal Covin

Comment: I had a very informative and good skill-building 61.58 at LOFT. Their program is focused, as they say, on training to proficiency. Many of us come into these events with rusty skills (V1 Cuts, SE Go Arounds, etc.), so this experience should focus on rebuilding and polishing skills instead of just checking boxes. Ive been doing this for 7 years and came away with many good new tips and insights - every instructor I encountered has a great depth of real world experience, most have combined military and airline careers. Great attitudes all around, and I benefited greatly.

Brigit, in the support staff, was especially helpful with accommodations. I certainly had to put in the work, but the staff and instructors were great in helping meet objectives.

They have professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic instructors for both the Citation CE-500 Series, and Citation CE-560XL (Excel) aircraft that I fly as both a 135 Charter Pilot, and a Part 91 Contract Pilot for hire based out of the John Wayne, KSNA airport, here in Orange County, California. I found their differences training for the Citation Encore, Ultra, and Bravo, very educational, and would recommend Loft for anyone looking for a solid Business Jet training experience in Southern California.

Comment: I have been doing my CJ (and more recently my Citation 500 series) annual recurrent training at LOFT for twelve years.The instructors there all have vast aviation experience and after every visit, I always feel that I leave there a slightly better pilot than when I arrived.Unlike some of their larger competitors, LOFT can usually organise my training around MY schedule rather than requiring me to somehow fit in with theirs. For a busy corporate pilot this is hugely helpful.In the twelve years that I have been attending LOFT, I have seen them grow from a small operation with one Citation Jet simulator and a handful of instructors into a really busy training centre with new premises, three simulators and loads of instructors. Despite being a much bigger organisation now, I still get a friendly welcome and a personal service.I wouldnt consider going anywhere else.Oh and I travel all the way to Carlsbad from the UK! :)

Sims are also a lot packed into each lesson but the instructors are very patient and work with you to manage the workload! In house DPE is very nice and easy going. Checkride was a breeze! Admin staff know your name by the third day and are telling you which classroom to go to as soon as you walk in the door!

Comment: Came to LOFT for recurrent and to add an ATP to our CE-500 type rating. We had a terrible experience which ended up costing us $20k to rectify. Initially everyone seemed very kind and knowledgeable and we were really looking forward to our experience with LOFT. During the first day, we got all the paperwork in order and we were good to go as planned. Ground school was basically one war story after another and I felt it was lacking real content. Nearly all of their instructors are independent contractors and while they may have industry (121/135) experience, some seem to lack recent and relevant experience in the 500 series citations (they show a level of understanding slightly better than rote). Usually recurrent students spend 2 days in ground school and only touch the simulator on the 2nd evening. This is followed by another final classroom day and then the check-ride. I’m not sure how good one sim session is before a ride. Even if you fly the 560 as your normal day job, simulators always behave somewhat differently and having one or two more sim sessions is prudent. On paper, they check all the boxes but the reality seems that the ground and flight training is severely lacking. Our experience was that emergency procedures in the simulators were glazed over and instructors behaved in an agitated way when small mistakes are made. If you don’t fly “their way” then you are by default a bad pilot. Flying is an art and many people have different procedures/flows etc. Doesn’t make them a bad pilot…its just different. The night before the checkride we were told (after processing our IACRA applications) that LOFT is not approved by the FAA to perform initial ATP rides and that we would have to go elsewhere. What a bait and switch! We left Carlsbad and exchanged several emails (which took weeks on end) with the Yantos family (who owns LOFT) and needless to say they denied all the facts (despite evidence being presented to the contrary) and all banned together to say that we are basically out of luck and nothing was their fault. We wanted a fair resolution and proposed a pro-rated refund or credit given the circumstances (pro-rated in their favor no less) and were berated by Colin and the LOFT team (they will say they never “knew” about the ATP requirement when in reality there would be no reason to do an IACRA (since thats not required for a 61.58) or mark our training folders and complete paperwork for such). We ended up trying to dispute the charges with our card company for a small fraction of the pro-rated amount but LOFT won because of their training contract (despite them failing to provide the training as contracted).To this day no one has ever tried to make things right and they just play the “its not our fault” and “we are the best and its all you” cards. Appalling is an understatement. What happened to the these same otherwise kind people we spoke to while signing up? When things even go slightly wrong, the tables turn and its not a nice experience as the client. Don’t be fooled! You are just another number and dollar to them.We ended up having to do our 61.58s/ATP rides at a different school and spent more time and money to correct the wrongdoings and fraudulent dealings of LOFT. Overall the experience was really sub par and we would never recommend anyone go there no matter how nice they seem at first. There seems to be a reason schools like FSI are booked so far out…Edit: after leaving the review, I received (as somewhat expected) an email from Noel Yantos (one of the owners of LOFT) threatening legal action for my honest review and experience. This is probably why there are only positive reviews- most people get scared away by the threat of legal action for sharing their honest review. I emailed Noel back after this email asking for a fair resolution and stated that I was glad that he reached to me despite the circumstances and that I was willing to work with them since they still have lots of our money - and they ghosted me again.

Scheduled CJ 4 differences training separate 1day $1,500 prepaid. During training our CJ4 was taken off lease so I cancelled the class. They ignored my request for refund until I threatened small claims action. They denied my request. Worst experience in aviation.

Comment: Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly instructors and staff. I just completed my first type rating, which was intense. My instructors all gave me excellent feedback during the simulator portion of the training and seemed genuinely interested in my progress. The check airman was calm and far and really helped me shake off my check ride jitters. I not only nailed the check ride, I also feel well prepared and confident to jump in the aircraft.

Comment: Bad experience at LOFT training facility (Carlsbad, California).Im a 29,000 hour recently retired 777/747 pilot from one of the major US airlines. I needed an anual recurrent training for a Cessna Citation 501 that I fly. Two of my airline colleagues had bad experiences at LOFT and warned me not to go. But there was no other facility in the US available before I expired.LOFT advertises a Citation course with 501 differences. So I attended in Nov 2022. On day one, I realized I was in the wrong program. The training and simultor is for a Citation 560 Ultra with a completely different set of avionics than what I am used to.LOFT had not been upfront about this.The course was going to be useless for me. So on top of the $7000 I spent at at LOFT for their training, I had to go out and spend another $7000 flying the 501 and getting an examiner to give me a 61.58 checkride. I did have an email exchange with the owner of LOFT, Noel Yantos, after the course. Initially he recognized the problem and said he would refund $1750. but then reneged. In short, he lied. Mr. Yantos is going to need to learn that you have to be upfront with clients and you cant lie.

Comment: Highly highly recommend. Instructors are extremely intelligent and willing to help in any way they can at any time. All staff are very professional and very friendly. I hope my company lets me come back for recurrent training next year. Not to mention they have the highest pass rate; numbers don’t lie.

Comment: I had a fantastic experience at Loft for my CE-500 initial PIC. As a matter of fact the best experience I’ve ever had in a training environment counting previous careers. The instructors are super high time super knowledgeable pilots and their goal is to cram as much of their real world experience into your training as they can. The curriculum is structured in a way that avoids plateau and burning out (it’s a LOT of info), and best of all they make it *gasp* fun. Highly recommend.

Comment: Professional, is the only way to describe this training. Thorough, but enjoyable, and a great big picture attitude. This is the place to learn how and the training to stay current.

Comment: Had an amazing experience at Loft for my first PIC type rating in the Citation 560. All my instructors were retired military and/or airline guys, and they were all extremely knowledgeable and eager to see me succeed. It was a very laid back atmosphere, and even the checkride had a relaxed feel to it. Dare I say it...I actually enjoyed the checkride! I look forward to returning later this year for my CE-525 rating, and I would highly recommend Loft to anyone looking for their Citation or CJ type rating, or recurrent.
