You know what’s coming... Or do you?

Thousands of hours can build tremendous experience. But what happens if the aircraft does something those hours didn't prepare you for?

A look at startle, surprise, and UPRT reveals what it takes to build expertise beyond the expected.

The problem with uneventful flights?

1,000 hours of uneventful flying makes you a more experienced pilot. But if they were truly uneventful, you likely haven't had the opportunity to sharpen some critical, non-normal skill sets.

Many unexpected hazards can start a chain of events that leads to an aircraft upset. Yet recognizing, preventing, and recovering from those conditions is rarely exercised in normal operations. Recurrent Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT) helps close that experience gap, building the awareness, skills and expertise pilots need to mitigate the #1 cause of fatalities in all sectors of aviation, Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I).

See how UPRT can be developed as a continuous capability throughout a pilot's career in the UPRT Provider Assessment Guide + Lifecycle Training Architecture Addendum.

When a jet upset develops, pilots do not have time to sort through competing recovery techniques. They need one clear strategy and the right priorities already built into their response.

Join Paul BJ Ransbury, APS CEO, and APS jet upset training experts for a practical discussion about Proven UPRT Best Practices and what flight department leaders should expect from a UPRT provider.

APS brings more firsthand experience implementing fully integrated upset training than all other UPRT providers combined. Its experts specialize in translating proven UPRT principles into operationally relevant training systems that build reliable pilot performance under pressure.

We’ll discuss:

• One unified strategy for stall, speed, and attitude-upset recovery
• Why angle-of-attack reduction must come first
• How lift-vector and energy management guide recovery
• Why early recognition matters before an upset fully develops
• Questions leaders should ask when evaluating a provider’s methods

This session is for flight department leaders, chief pilots, safety professionals, and training decision-makers seeking UPRT that pilots can recall and execute when seconds matter.

Reserve your spot and bring your questions.

King Air Pilots: No matter the mission, resilient pilot competencies matter.

The APS King Air Family UPRT Program develops critical upset prevention and recovery competencies that most pilots have never had the opportunity to learn—applying them within the operational context King Air crews experience every day to mitigate Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), aviation's leading cause of fatal accidents.

An Oshkosh Safety Discussion Every Pilot Should Know About:

Loss of Control In-flight remains one of aviation's leading fatal accident threats, making this NTSB-led discussion especially timely.

At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, APS Senior Subject Matter Expert Randall Brooks joined an accomplished panel moderated by NTSB Vice Chairman Michael Graham alongside leaders from the National Transportation Safety Board, Federal Aviation Administration, and Experimental Aircraft Association. Together, they examined lessons from NTSB investigations and discussed how improved recognition, training, situational awareness, and recovery techniques can help pilots interrupt the chain of events before an accident occurs.

Aviation safety advances when investigators, regulators, operators, and training experts work together. It was an honor for APS to contribute to that collaboration.
