• The Pro UPRT Course consists of 6 hours of ground lesson and minimum of 6 training flights in the EFIS equipped Extra 300L. The course covers upset avoidance and recovery, mirroring the same technique taught in large cabin aircraft. This course is recommended for pilots operating turbine aircraft and pilots who want instrument reference upset training.

  • The Recurrent UPRT Course is 3 hours of ground and 3 flight lessons in the Extra 300L. This course covers UPRT and Spin training for pilots who have completed The Pro UPRT or the Advanced Instrument UPRT course within the previous 18 months.

  • The UPRT Familiarization and Spin Course is 6 hours of ground and 6 flights in in the Extra 300L aircraft. This course covers spin and UPRT for piston pilots. This course meets the requirement for the CFI spin awareness endorsement and is recommended for pilots flying small piston aircraft in VFR conditions.

  • The CFI Self Defense and Spin course is designed for CFIs and CFI candidates. The course meets the requirement of the CFI Spin Awareness Endorsement and is focused on teaching skills that mitigate risks that are specific to the training environment.

Regulatory Guidance

According to research conducted by the Royal Aeronautical Society in partnership with ICAO, the CAA, and the FAA, Loss of Control In Flight (LOC-I) is still the leading cause of fatal aircraft accidents, and the only preventative measure is training. The findings from this study were used to produce ICAO Doc 10011 AN/506 First Addition - 2014 Manual on Aeroplane Upset Prevention and Recovery Training.

The training UPRT-USA provides is in compliance with and meets the training standards and recommendations found in ICAO Doc. 10011 and FAA order 120-111.

Methodical Approach

Our courses use  a methodical approach to upset prevention and recovery training. Psychology, physiology, and advanced aircraft control are primary. Pilots are given time to build g tolerance and improve their advanced piloting skills at their individual pace. Then, when prepared, the pilot uses their skills to confidently and comfortably recover from upset both visually and by reference to instruments.

Our goal is for the pilots to be provided training that will result in safer aircraft operations and reduce the potential of an upset accident.
