5. LOC-I fatalities(42% of all commercial aviation fatalities)
increased by 8.5% in this 2015 chart compared to last year’s 2014 chart. Also,
the LOC-I is now, for the first time ever, twice as tall as the next leading causal factor.
Fatalities due to LOC-I were more than the next two (CFIT & RE) combined.
Loss of Control In-Flight continues to be the leading causes of commercial aviation fatal accidents worldwide

6. The LOC-I Spectrum of Issues

AIAA = American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
LOC-I Accidents remain a major type of accidents to transport airplanes
15 years of LOC accidents reviewed = 74 Accidents and 3241 Fatalities

LOSS OF CONTROL IN FLIGHT
There simply aren’t any secrets in what action needs to be taken to recognize, avoid and recover from unusual attitude scenarios and stalled flight conditions in every category of certified fixed-wing aircraft. 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.
An airline needs a core group of UPRT subject matter experts within the training department who have attended a Train-the-Trainer UPRT course and are capable of delivering comprehensive UPRT to the line pilots and/or they must be prepared to train other simulator instructors in the proper delivery of UPRT to the line pilots.
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.

13. IATA Guidance Material and Best Practices for the Implementation of UpRT
When starting a UPRT project, operators should first select an individual or a team to be charged with the design and implementation of the program.
This team should form the core-group of instructors to setup the UPRT program.
The core-group should first acquire UPRT expertise, then design the program, thereafter start UPRT and in parallel train the remaining regular instructors of the operator for that task.
The ideal UPRT program involves both, operator training and ATO training. Many operators are connected to ATOs delivering First Officer candidates. IATA recognizes the benefits of operator-ATO partnerships and encourages operators to engage themselves at an early stage of pilot education (ideally in MPL courses) in order to ensure a top-down approach to training and to improve the quality of ab-initio pilot training.
The ideal UPRT program structure should therefore be designed as a coordinated effort between the operator and the ATO. It should include consistent on-aeroplane and non-type-specific UPRT of the ATO, and type-specific UPRT of the operator.
The overarching aim of UPRT is to develop flight crew resilience (competence and confidence) in prevention and recovery from undesired aircraft states, including upsets.

14. IATA Guidance (Continued)
IATA Manual (Sec 9): Instructors selected for the core-group should then be qualified through a UPRT train-the-trainer course.
Typically train-the-trainer courses take 4-5 days and contain academic, on- aeroplane and FSTD training.

Simulator Instructor Upset Delivery Training (Train-the-Trainer)
Designed specifically for an airline’s senior simulator instructors to develop core instructional competencies in industry-compliant upset training.
APS offers a powerful program experience for airline simulator instructors to enhance their Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) instructional capabilities. The course is designed for a crew of two airline instructors to participate in the program together. This 5-day APS upset course for airline transport pilot (ATP) simulator instructors is designed to expose the instructors to UPRT aerodynamics, industry-compliant methodologies, and leading-edge Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) mitigation strategies. Using the industry-vetted Airplane Upset Recovery Training Aid (AURTA), the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Manual on Aeroplane Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (ICAO UPRT Manual) and the FAA’s AC Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (AC UPRT) resources as its foundational documents, this airline simulator instructor program will provide participants with the basic level of capability for graduating instructors to subsequently develop an airline or flight department’s type-specific UPRT initiatives and requirements. It is crucial for instructional pilots to attend this course in pairs or as a crew. An important aspect of training is observing how another pilot is taught the AURTA maneuver entries, recoveries, and common errors. APS has other recommendations on the criteria by which participating instructors should be selected by the airline. Please contact us to speak with a senior APS check airman to discuss these recommendations directly.

JET PILOT INTEGRATED UPSET TRAINING (IUT) COURSE
Again, this is not a Train-the-Trainer course but is a premier, 3-day 5.5-mission Integrated Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) program for professional jet pilots. 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

The selection of these tools is not by accident – APS has two decades of experience providing training to more professional pilots than any other training organization. All maneuver-based and scenario-based training exercises are taught in a manner that ensures each student is trained to apply recovery techniques within the performance envelope of their specific aircraft type. Although our course teaches every participant to recover from any possible in-flight upset or flight envelope excursion, the APS program is focused on promoting “Recognition and Avoidance” through enhanced awareness and a thorough aerodynamic comprehension of each potential loss of control flight condition.
CUSTOMER SPECIFIC: Despite the Extra’s superior performance and capabilities, all maneuver-based and scenario-based training exercises are taught in a manner that ensures each student is trained to apply recovery techniques within the performance envelope of their specific aircraft.
