“This App provides the necessary academic foundation for the development of the practical skills necessary to prevent an airplane upset or, if necessary, to recover an airplane to controlled flight amidst a developing high-stress, time-critical airplane upset situation,” says Dr. Sunjoo Advani, Chairman of the International Committee for Aviation Training in Extended Envelopes (ICATEE), a body of over 40 organizations and 80 aviation industry experts dedicated to the standardized global delivery of UPRT, “Use of material from the Airplane Upset Recovery Training Aid ensures that all information is thoroughly vetted and applicable to high performance multi-engine jet airplanes.”

Both the Airline and Business Jet versions of this UPRT iPad App are being demonstrated at the Aviation Performance Solutions’ Booth N527 at the 2013 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas, NV 22-24 October 2013.
