Global Leaders in Upset Prevention & Recovery Training

IDEAL PLATFORMS for COMPREHENSIVE UPRT

Proven training platforms work together in one seamless UPRT experience—capitalizing on the strengths of each to develop lasting, transferable pilot skills. 

IntegratedTraining-1

Upset Prevention and Recovery Training develops knowledge, awareness, decision-making, and hands-on flying skills that cannot all be effectively addressed in a single training environment.

Aircraft provide real-world aerodynamic and physiological experience. Simulators allow pilots to safely experience operational scenarios involving factors such as weather, low altitude, automation, and other conditions that cannot be practically or safely replicated in an aircraft. Virtual reality provides an immersive environment for focused practice, while academics build the understanding behind effective upset prevention and recovery.

Together, these platforms allow different UPRT objectives to be trained in the environment best suited to them.

Explore each platform below to understand its role in comprehensive UPRT.

IDEAL UPRT Platforms

Harness the power of integrating ideal training platforms for a superior Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) experience that ensures seamless and comprehensive risk mitigation.

S211 Marchetti Jet UPRT Platform

SIAI-Marchetti S211
Sweptwing Glass-cockpit Jet Trainer

Designed for all-attitude flight instruction with strong aerodynamic and structural safety margins, our S211 jets offer the perfect platform for jet UPRT training.

While the basic concepts of upset training apply to all fixed-wing airplanes, turn rates and radius of turn vary with speed, and acceleration profiles and sustained load factors can be different between jet and piston aircraft. The economical turbofan powered SIAI-Marchetti S211 can be used to experience the transfer of training between piston and jet aircraft. The S211 operates at speeds and altitudes emulating the performance range and capabilities of business jet aircraft.

“Without a doubt, this is the type of training which one prays they will never have to put into practise. But, I have have been flying commercially for 35 years and have had a licence for longer than that and I must say this was the 4 most valuable days of training in an airplane that I have ever had!! All aspects of the training are logical, ...”

“Invaluable training! Although the mechanics of an unusual attitude recovery can be replicated in the sim, there is simply no substitute for practicing them in an actual aircraft. APS provided an excellent training environment to experience stalls, unusual attitudes and spin recovery all under the supervision of very experienced and friendly ...”

“Just home from a 4-day training event at APS. All three pilots in our flight department have now completed the same course (Jet Pilot Integrated Upset Training plus High Altitude) and the experience was exceptional for each of us. The attention to detail in all facets of the operation are noteworthy. The people working and running APS are what ...”

“Great experience and great instructors. Beneficial for any pilot to learn advanced aerodynamics and experience it real time in a aircraft rather than simulator.”

“A great group of people all around! The training was a blast and I learned a ton! I hate to say it but I was surprised at how much I learned. As a large cabin Gulfstream pilot I've certainly been through Flight Safety and the like a few times but have never looked at upsets and the recovery strategy like this. Most importantly, we put it into ...”

“I am an owner operator of a CJ3+. I have been fortunate to have a lot of high quality training over my 45 years of flying. The four days I spent with APS in Mesa are easily the best aviation training I have experienced. The program is highly structured but the environment is relaxed, welcoming and friendly. I had three instructors all of whom ...”

“One of the most professional schools I have been fortunate enough to attend in my career. I take this type of training deadly serious and found it was very beneficial. I flew with “Duke” and he could not have been a better advanced instructor. All of the people at this school went out of their way to make it absolutely an amazing experience. Great ...”
