Does Upset Training Make You a Safer Pilot?

"[UPRT] has made me a better pilot, and I'd recommend it to anybody."

Former U.S. Naval Aviator Scott McQuillen flew for 20 years in the Navy before becoming a civilian transport pilot flying Gulfstream 550/650s. Despite his extensive experience, Scott felt that he learned a lot from his Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT) course, and that he is now a safer pilot. Properly conducted UPRT offers many benefits to pilots of all skill levels.
