UPRT course is a defensive driving course for pilots!
Our course consists of 5 lessons, each designed to increase your flight safety by providing a greater awareness of aircraft capability and confidence in the ability to recognise, avoid and recover if necessary from unexpected adverse aircraft control events or “upsets.”
Our comprehensive UPRT course includes:
- Confident and accurate flight path control and energy management;
- Nose high and nose low upset awareness and recovery;
- Advanced stall recognition and recovery;
- Stall / spin awareness and prevention;
- Fully-developed & incipient spin recovery;
- Emergency scenario training.
Skills are learned in a controlled environment with strict performance parameters to maintain safety. Some aerobatic manoeuvres are used to demonstrate the full capability of an aircraft, as well as expose you to the likely adverse effects of incorrect or mishandled recovery techniques. This is backed up with comprehensive pre-flight briefings to gain greater knowledge of HOW and WHY pilots lose control.
You don’t need to worry about how to fly a new aircraft type or learn local airport procedures! Our instructors will take care of that for you so you can concentrate on learning the techniques which may ultimately save your life!
What Does Our UPRT Course Involve?
Instead of becoming another aviation statistic, you need to go through this course to help you learn critical skills that can lead to your survival in an emergency. According to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, the second-highest cause of accidents in an aircraft is loss of control. UPRT has become an essential aspect of being a pilot, and here’s what you can expect from the course.
- During the five-lesson course, you will learn skills to increase your flight safety and become more aware of the aircraft’s capabilities. By understanding the tools in front of you, you will have the confidence to recognise, avoid and recover when the aircraft is experiencing adverse control events.
- Other elements you will gain from the course include accurate flight path control, energy management; advanced stall recognition and recovery; spin or stall awareness and prevention, nose high and nose low upset awareness and recovery, and emergency training.
- Our instructors will use aerobatic moves to demonstrate an aircraft’s ability and expose you to the negative effects of mishandling recovery techniques. We conduct these lessons in a controlled space with strict parameters for your protection.
We believe that a pilot’s training is the most essential part of their career as this is the time for us to shape your habits, skills, and attitude. Remember that when you have a heap of knowledge and training to depend on, you’re ready to acknowledge abnormal situations and can provide solutions faster when you’ve had the training.
