Recurrent Upset Training Prepares Pilots for the Unexpected

“In the civilian world, there’s no training like this we ever experience that gives us the ability, the understanding, and certainly the technique to recover from something that could happen to us in a situation that we’re left with very little options, if none at all.”

In this video, Cessna Citation 500 Bravo pilot Joe Macey explains how Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) is important, life-saving training that prepares pilots for the unexpected. He points out airplane upsets do occur in aviation, and UPRT ensures every pilot will have the skills necessary to prevent or recover from an unexpected in-flight situation.
