Knowing "what to do" is a critical first step but is rendered useless without hands-on practical experience actually flying recoveries. Additionally, “knowing” and “doing” must be combined with an engrained pilot skill-set that can be drawn upon immediately and accurately by the pilot in an emergency situation. PROVIDER The selected training provider for Upset Recovery Training must provide training in a manner that compliments training being accomplished during simulator training. Additionally, the provider must have a professional curriculum and expert instructors that will ensure the skills being taught are directly transferable to the client’s aircraft.

This course was selected by Bombardier Safety Standdown’s Leading Edge program and global insurance provider Swiss Re Corporate Solutions as it represents one the most comprehensive, useful, transferable, and long-lasting Loss of Control In-flight mitigation training courses available in the world today. For professional multi-engine high performance jet pilots, this course is the standard UPRT program. Customers receive comprehensive ground, flight and post-flight instruction on situations from stalls and unusual attitudes to wake turbulence to alternate control strategies. Pilots also receive training on real-life scenarios that are recreated academically as well as in the actual airplane and simulator. Based on formal research of more than 100 professional pilots, it is the absence of all-attitude awareness and fundamental prevention and recovery skills that perpetuate Loss of Control In-flight as one of the leading causes of hull losses and fatal crashes in commercial aviation worldwide. THE IUT COURSE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING   The 3-day program includes: Preparatory web-based self-study course to include all aspects of the industry-recognized Airplane Upset Recovery Training Aid; plus On-aircraft Professional Pilot Upset Training program (4.5 in-flight missions and 8.5 hours of specialized ground instruction); plus 1-hour jet-specific high performance briefing for jet pilots; plus A culminating 2-hour upset-specific, advanced multi-engine glass cockpit simulator session with an expert APS instructor
