Specialized Upset Prevention and Recovery Training

S-UPRT

The #1 cause of fatalities the world over in aviation is loss of control – inflight (LOC-I). The universally accepted solution to this problem is Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT). Basic UPRT is now required by the FAA and EASA. However, research has shown that the required training is not enough. Pilots must train in flight in aircraft similar to those they fly on a regular basis. Whether its jets, turboprops, piston twins or helicopters, UPRT must be specialized to the pilot. That is where AO’s Specialized Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (SUPRT, pronounced “Super T”) comes in. AO has access to a fleet of aircraft like no other. Your flight department flies high and fast airplanes – try training with our CF-5D aircraft. You fly turboprops – we have King Airs and Tucano’s suited for your training. You fly transport jets – we have especially suited jets to train your department. And last but certainly not least - train with our specialized helicopter pilots for rotary wing UPRT. We will provide the specialized training you need to deal with the #1 cause of fatalities in aviation.

Then Choose your Course Type…

  • SUPRTᵀᴹ - Initial

    The environments that students will experience during UPRT are dynamic. First experiences to these environments need to be comprehensive. AO’s initial UPRT provides a buildup approach to these dynamic environments such that students can work their way up from introductory level maneuvers to proficient and effective recovery from scenario based upsets that will save their lives and the lives of the passengers in their charge.

  • SUPRTᵀᴹ – Transition

    Many professional pilots have had the benefit of previous advanced training. Military or aerobatic trained pilots are excellent examples. While these types of training provide applicable experience, there are additional focused academic and practical training events that are required to provide for full UPRT. The AO UPRT Transition course provides this additional focus to experienced individuals. Upon graduation, these pilots have had initial training refreshed with the addition of UPRT skills that apply directly to the safety of their current missions.
