History

Established in 1988.

Founded in 1988 by Caleb Taylor, ProFlight was conceived to fill a niche in the turboprop and jet training markets. It was apparent that a need existed for a high-​quality alternative to FlightSafety and other large institutional training facilities. This need arose from the apparent lack of experienced, high quality instructors combined with problematic aging flight simulators.

By combining high quality, modern ground instruction with professional type-​specific training in our new full motion FTD and optional in-​aircraft training by experienced high time instructors, ProFlight has achieved a level of training previously unobtainable in this market.

ProFlight pioneered the industry’s first computer based animated systems presentations, which are now being imitated by FlightSafety and Simuflite. By using personal computers and high-​resolution animation techniques, static textbook diagrams are brought to life in vivid moving interactive color.

Business Owner

Caleb was rated as a Private Pilot in 1977 at Montgomery Field in San Diego, California at the age of 19. Commercial Pilot certification followed in 1978 and by early 1979, at the age of 20, Caleb was working full time as a Certified Flight Instructor at a local San Diego flight school.

Caleb moved to Mammoth Lakes to pursue a career in corporate aviation, flying a Cessna Conquest I (C425). After nearly seven years with the same company, extensive experience was obtained in Cessna 310’s, 414’s, 421’s and Conquest I/​II aircraft. During this period, invaluable part 135 experience, mountain-​flying experience and international operations were obtained. Concurrently, Caleb stayed current as a CFI by maintaining a load of several advanced rating students over the years.

Caleb has logged over 13,000 flight hours most of which are in Cessna Conquest ⁴²⁵⁄₄₄₁ models and Citation ⁵⁰⁰⁄₅₂₅ series aircraft.
