Embry Riddle Assesses APS Upset Recovery Training

I have received upset recovery training at Delta, United, Continental, and American Airlines. At Embry-Riddle, I have developed and regularly teach a simulator-based academic course “AS 471 All Attitude Flight and Upset Recovery.” So I already knew something about upset recovery maneuvering before I came to APS.

Are Upset Recovery Training Skills Transferable?

The assumption that pilots already have a safe level of measurable skill in dealing with upset scenarios outside their small flight-envelope/attitude comfort zone, is not supportable by statistics or formal research. In many ways, pilots need to be taught fundamental all-attitude flight skills as the core focus of upset recovery training as they do not have any experience whatsoever to fall back on. Even worse, in threatening upset situations, as pilots quickly become overwhelmed and start panicking on the flight controls, they tend to go with what they know. Typically, the panicking pilot has no idea their 20,000 hours of flight skills and learned flight control instincts are predominantly invalid when dealing with the loss of control in-flight threat beyond certain parameters…
