APS | Recurrent Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT)

Flexible Recurrent training options

Keep upset prevention and recovery skills sharp with APS's customizable recurrent training options. Whether you choose to repeat a comprehensive initial course, craft a variation on your initial training, or go for the focused 1-day refresher, you'll reinforce vital capabilities to prevent and recover from Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I).

Lock In with a life Plan

To stay current with global UPRT advancements and industry standards, annual recurrent training is recommended. Maximize your training value by opting for a comprehensive Life Plan, which protects your training investment by locking in current pricing and ensuring advanced UPRT skills stay up to date.

Maintain Advanced UPRT Skills

Despite having received the industry’s most intense, effective and long-lasting skills to reduce your risk of Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), as with any training, the skills developed during upset training are perishable. APS recurrent training allows you to practice the skills you use least often, so that they remain intact when you need them the most.

RECURRENT UPRT PROGRAMS

Your recurrent program can be anything from a 1-day turnkey refresher course to a customized program built for the skills you or your flight department wants to focus on for your operations.

1-Day Basic Recurrent UPRT

Take advantage of an efficient 1-day refresher course designed to powerfully restore essential pilot capabilities to prevent, or if necessary, recover from LOC-I, the most lethal safety threat in aviation.

Customized Recurrent UPRT

Whether you want to repeat your initial UPRT course, add jet flights, or focus on specific skill development, your recurrent program will be tailored to meet your unique operational needs.

Life Plan

The APS Life Plan is a comprehensive approach to aviation training that includes recurrent UPRT with locked in rates for the life of the plan. This allows pilots to maximize value while maintaining proficiency and confidence over time, reducing the risk of loss of control in flight (LOC-I) and enhancing overall aviation safety.

“Without a doubt, this is the type of training which one prays they will never have to put into practise. But, I have have been flying commercially for 35 years and have had a licence for longer than that and I must say this was the 4 most valuable days of training in an airplane that I have ever had!! All aspects of the training are logical, ...”

“Invaluable training! Although the mechanics of an unusual attitude recovery can be replicated in the sim, there is simply no substitute for practicing them in an actual aircraft. APS provided an excellent training environment to experience stalls, unusual attitudes and spin recovery all under the supervision of very experienced and friendly ...”

“Just home from a 4-day training event at APS. All three pilots in our flight department have now completed the same course (Jet Pilot Integrated Upset Training plus High Altitude) and the experience was exceptional for each of us. The attention to detail in all facets of the operation are noteworthy. The people working and running APS are what ...”

“Great experience and great instructors. Beneficial for any pilot to learn advanced aerodynamics and experience it real time in a aircraft rather than simulator.”

“A great group of people all around! The training was a blast and I learned a ton! I hate to say it but I was surprised at how much I learned. As a large cabin Gulfstream pilot I've certainly been through Flight Safety and the like a few times but have never looked at upsets and the recovery strategy like this. Most importantly, we put it into ...”

“I am an owner operator of a CJ3+. I have been fortunate to have a lot of high quality training over my 45 years of flying. The four days I spent with APS in Mesa are easily the best aviation training I have experienced. The program is highly structured but the environment is relaxed, welcoming and friendly. I had three instructors all of whom ...”

“One of the most professional schools I have been fortunate enough to attend in my career. I take this type of training deadly serious and found it was very beneficial. I flew with “Duke” and he could not have been a better advanced instructor. All of the people at this school went out of their way to make it absolutely an amazing experience. Great ...”

“I am so grateful I was able to complete this training. I wish every pilot could do it! Life saving stuff. The recovery model is brilliant; simple and applicable to basically any situation and aircraft. Also, “Monty” is the absolute MAN! Thanks APS!!”

“First, let me say that APS offers truly invaluable training material. I am leaving with a stronger understanding of the upset recovery procedures as well as the aerodynamic principles of stalls and spins. After completing their program, I feel that I am a more confident, competent, and [most of all] a safer pilot. I can not recommend their upset ...”

“Very good and very beneficial training for anyone of any experience level and type of flying. Most people don’t want to address worst case scenarios or don’t want to make the investment in it but I would highly recommend training with APS. They have developed a solid strategy for avoiding and recovering from loc-I and impart the knowledge and ...”

“I've spend 2 intensives days with ground school and 4 flights in an Extra 300. Being a single engine PPL with low hours was at first quite intimidating given the air exercises required to go through the upset prevention and recovery training. The team at APS (Admin, Flight Ops, and Instructors) is outstandingly welcoming and made my experience so ...”
