UPSET PREVENTION & RECOVERY TRAINING (UPRT)
Overview
Increase your confidence with superior knowledge and skills to manage an aeroplane throughout its full flight envelope.
Our specialised aerobatic aeroplanes allowed us to create this unique defensive flying course to improve your recognition, prevention and recovery from undesired aircraft states. Using scenario-based training methods we’ll recreate situations in which pilots commonly mishandle the aeroplane and give the skills to prevent a repeat of history.
This is a life-saving course and we recommend ALL pilots should undertake this training.
