Aviation Performance Solutions LLC (APS) announced today that the 2021 APS Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Scholarship winner, Auburn University graduate Elizabeth “Scottie” Manzo, has completed her Professional Pilot Upset Training Course, which mitigates the risk of loss of control in-flight, the number one cause of fatalities across all sectors of aviation.
Mesa, Arizona (PRWEB) November 23, 2021 – Aviation Performance Solutions LLC (APS), a global provider of Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT), is pleased to announce that 2021 Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Scholarship winner Elizabeth “Scottie” Manzo, recent graduate of the Auburn University Professional Flight program, has successfully completed her UPRT course.
Elizabeth’s broad interest in everything aviation was sparked by her pilot grandfather and has driven her to become an accomplished pilot already using her CFI and CFII licenses to flight instruct for Auburn University. Her career and personal aspirations include flying for a Fortune 500 corporate flight department and learning aerobatics.
While even the most seasoned pilots benefit from properly delivered UPRT, the program effectively compliments certification training by ensuring pilots have a deep understanding of upset causes – with critical focus on prevention – and are trained to proficiency in the often-counterintuitive skills necessary to recover from a developed airplane upset. Moreover, this training provides a condensed yet intense training experience that greatly improves overall handling skills and airmanship.
“Loss of Control can really happen to any pilot, and it can happen quickly,” Manzo related. “So it’s important to understand the aerodynamics and know what to look for. And that’s why it’s so critical to understand the All Attitude Upset Recovery Strategy.”
“Upset Prevention and Recovery Training fills in a training gap to help pilots develop the skills to prevent or overcome LOC-I,” said Paul ‘BJ’ Ransbury, CEO of APS, “giving back to the aviation industry through this unique scholarship program furthers the APS purpose: We Help Pilots Bring Everyone Home Safely.”
