APS-Certified CAE Upset Training Instructors In Action for U.S. Army in Alabama


The Grob 120TP is the new primary training aircraft used by APS to train all U.S. Army fixed-wing aviators in upset prevention and recovery techniques. It is powered by a 450 shp Rolls-Royce turboprop engine and is fully aerobatic.

The first cadre of APS-Certified CAE instructor pilots are delivering APS’ Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) program in Dothan, Alabama as part of the U.S. Army Fixed-Wing Flight Training program. Effectively delivered UPRT comprehensively reduces the risk of Loss of Control In-flight, aviation’s leading cause of fatalities worldwide.
Original PRWeb Press Release: APS-Certified CAE Upset Training Instructors In Action for U.S. Army in Alabama
Dothan, Alabama – June 29, 2017 – Aviation Performance Solutions LLC (APS) today announced that the first group of CAE instructors have graduated training and are actively delivering APS Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) as part of the U.S. Army Fixed-Wing Flight Training program in Dothan, Alabama. CAE’s inclusion of APS’ UPRT program for Army fixed-wing training will serve to comprehensively reduce the risk of Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), the primary cause of aircraft fatalities worldwide. This LOC-I training solution is accomplished through a proven program which prepares Army pilots to better recognize, prevent, or if needed, recover from an unintended airplane upset.
APS’ UPRT program is part of the thorough, expertly integrated U.S. Army Fixed-Wing Flight Training program that includes academic, simulator and live-flying training. CAE instructors who graduate the APS’ UPRT Train-the-Trainer program will conduct upset training at CAE’s new Dothan Training Center located at the Dothan Regional Airport in Alabama.
The APS-CAE UPRT program features real world on-aircraft training in the Grob G120TP turboprop fully-aerobatic training aircraft and simulator-based UPRT in four CAE 7000XR Series C-12 King Air FFSs. The CAE C-12 full flight simulators integrate all-new UPRT Instructor Operating Station (IOS) enhancements–powerful instructor technology jointly developed by CAE and APS to comprehensively analyze airplane upset events in real time.
“Developing the flight skills and instructional capabilities necessary to become an APS-certified UPRT instructor are some of the most challenging and demanding experiences an instructor pilot will face in their career” said Paul BJ Ransbury, the president of Aviation Performance Solutions, “The CAE team in Dothan is meeting the challenge having graduated, and continuing to graduate, APS-certified UPRT instructors week after week.”
APS has based two senior APS UPRT instructors at CAE’s Dothan Training Center where they are training a portion of CAE’s cadre of instructor pilots to deliver UPRT on Grob G120TP aircraft and C-12 simulators. Loss of Control In-flight is the number one fatal risk factor that pilots will face in their aviation career.
“As a leading global provider of advanced flight training, CAE is committed to the professional development of our instructor pilots,” said Ray Duquette, President and General Manager, CAE USA. “Upset Prevention and Recovery Training is a critical part of pilot training and our partnership with APS is contributing to us delivering a world-class UPRT program as part of Army Fixed-Wing Flight Training.”
