An EPIC UPRT Standard
Guidance on implementing upset recovery programs has been vague, bu APS has set out to change that.
Pilots who undergo advanced upset prevention and recovery training in an Aviation Performance Solutions Marchetti S211 get to experience how long it takes to recover in a jet at high altitudes, as well as a full gamut of challenging upsets.

Loss of control inflight (LOC-I) is a leading cause of fatalities in aviation. To mitigate the LOC-I threat, the industry is keenly focused on improving safety mainly through enhanced training programs. The problem is, all too often, the regulatory guidance on creating and implementing Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) programs is overly vague and lacks specificity on practical implementation. Without a solid standard, improperly implemented UPRT programs are a risk; negative training and/or a negative transfer of skills potentially puts the lives of pilots and passengers in jeopardy.
