Enhance Safety with Upset Training
Nearly 45% of all general aviation fatalities were the result of Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), according to a General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) report. Today’s required pilot training does not include UPRT, which teaches the skills required to correctly recognize, prevent, and recover from LOC-I situations. APS offers customized UPRT programs specific to individual owners’ and operators’ skill level and aircraft, helping you develop the critical handling skills, discipline in a crisis, and mental decision-making processes that must be second nature in the event of an unexpected upset.
Benefits
- Significantly increase manual aircraft handling and airmanship skills
- Develop instinctive skills to prevent, recognize, and correctly recover from LOC-I
- Gain long-term skills, transferable between aircraft types
- Fundamentally improve your overall safety
