| URT-1: Upset Recovery Training Mission #1 |
FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS: Extra 300L Handling, Climbs & Descents, Adverse Yaw Demonstration & Corrections, Steep Turns (60 AOB Turns / Wing Overs) , Slow Flight, Introducing Primary Control Strategies in Upset Recovery: Basic Stall Integration into Full Spectrum Recovery Techniques, Introduction to Negative Roll Damping, Positive Stability Exercise, Flight Below 1-G Stall Speed (Ballistic 0-G flight / 0-G Push Over / Use of Less than 1-G for Flight Path Control), and All-Attitude Maneuvering Exposure to Enhance 3D Awareness: Aileron Roll (Orientation of Lift Vector through Roll Attitude / Lift Vector Orientation and Control past 90 degrees AOB), Inside Loop (Distinction between Attitude and AOA / Altitude Required for Maneuvering / Recognition and Control of G-Forces) and Inverted Flight (Earth Centered Attitude Awareness / Ability to Maintain -1 G for Flight Patch Control). |
| URT-2: Upset Recovery Training Mission #2 |
PRIMARY CONTROL STRATEGY APPLICATIONS: Primary Control Strategy Basics Review, Positive & Negative Roll Stability Demonstration, Steep Turns to Accelerated Stalls, Uncoordinated Flight Exercises to Comprehend Threat/Prevention of Uncorrected Yaw at High AOA, Advanced Application of Primary Control Strategies in Uncoordinated Stall Prevention (Slips and Skids), Skidded-Turn Stalls and Slipping-Turn Stalls (Cross-Controlled) Proficiency/Recovery Training, All-Attitude Maneuvering to Enhance Turn/Dive Geometry Awareness: Split-S (deprogram instinctual pull response ) and Cuban 8 to address asymmetric loading in high bank scenarios. Integration of the full spectrum of upset recovery skills and awareness elements to this point in the training program. |
| URT-3: Upset Recovery Training Mission #3 |
TRANSFERRING PRIMARY CONTROL STRATEGIES TO ALL-ATTITUDE ENVIRONMENT – INTRODUCE ALTERNATE CONTROL STRATEGIES: Basic & Advanced Primary Control Strategy Review: Stall Prevention, Yaw Mitigation and Recovery Proficiency. Transfer Primary Control Strategies to All-Attitude Scenarios: Abnormal Attitudes (over-bank, nose low, nose high, extreme pitch/bank conditions, thrust control during pitch changes, lift vector magnitude control, random eyes closed recoveries), Over-bank to Spiral Dive Recovery, Roll Reversal, Barrel Roll, Wake Turbulence/Vortex/Mountain Wave Upsets, Introduction to Alternate Control Strategies: System Component Failures (Rudder, Elevator, Aileron, Flap mismatches), Pitch Mis-Trim, Insidious Upset Encounter, Total Engine Failure Considerations, Emergency Integration, Zero Thrust Approach Practice, All-Attitude Maneuvering and Primary Control Strategy Review. Integration of the full spectrum of upset recovery skills and awareness elements to enhance upset training imprint. |
| SPIN-1: Spin Training Mission #1 |
SPIN AWARENESS TRAINING – ALL PILOTS: Primary Control Strategy Transfer to Incipient Spin Prevention and Threat Awareness. Proficiency, Unusual Attitude and Wake Turbulence Recovery Proficiency, Incipient Spin Entries and Recoveries from Traffic-Pattern Scenarios. Introduction NASA Standard Spin Recovery Technique (Alternate Control Strategy): Normal Upright Spin Entries, Prevention and Recoveries (left and right). Review: Primary Control Strategies / All-Attitude Maneuvering as Required. Integration of the full spectrum of upset recovery skills and awareness elements in response to pilot aggravating inputs. |
| SPIN-2: Spin Training Mission #2 |
ADVANCED SPIN TRAINING – LIGHT GA / AEROBATIC PILOTS: Cross-Controlled Stall Proficiency, Unusual Attitude and Wake Turbulence Recovery Proficiency, Incipient Spin Entry and Recovery Proficiency, Inadvertent/Normal Upright Spin Recovery Proficiency, Aggravated Spin Entries and Recoveries (in/out spin aileron, forward stick, power addition), Emergency Spin Recoveries, Inadvertent Inverted Spin Entries and Recoveries, Basic Aerobatics Review and Practice, Course Review. Integration of the full spectrum of upset recovery skills and awareness elements from awareness, prevention, recovery and aggravated stall/spin modes. |
| IRT-1: Instrument Recovery Training Mission #1 | TRANSFER OF SKILL TO INSTRUMENTS: Full-panel Instrument Recovery Training – Simulated IFR: Physiological factors, incident analysis related to IFR upset recovery, stall-warning preventative actions in the instrument environment. Flight Attitude Instrument capability and limitation demonstrations. Transfer of Primary & Alternate Control Strategy Skillset to the IMC environment. Accelerated and Cross-Controlled Stalls, Nose-high/Low Unusual Attitudes, Spiral Dives, Over-banks, Wake Turbulence Upsets and instrument aerobatics (loop, roll) to build familiarity with Attitude Indicator behavior in extreme maneuvering conditions. Integration of the full spectrum of upset recovery skills and awareness elements in the instrument environment. |

You have developed through extensive study and expense a proven method of upset recovery that benefits all aviators. You freely make this knowledge available to the public. It is your demonstrated high level of regard for the safety of all pilots that very easily convinced me that I will take your training around May, 2010. So thank you once again and I'll see you all in AZ sometime early next year...
