Why UPRT Matters
UPRT training has been a required part of CPL training since December 2019. Despite synthetic upset recovery exercises being carried out on airliner simulators for many years, the disturbingly high number of loss of control (LOC) incidents in the preceding decade led the CAA and EASA to mandate a new flight training module for all new airline pilots.
Only in actual flight, with the ability to expose trainee pilots to controlled jeopardy, in-flight ‘G’ forces and extensive stall recovery training, can the baseline instincts for upset recovery be developed. CRM were one of the first ATOs approved to carry out this training, and our instructors can provide prospective airline candidates with not only the competence to physically handle potential LOC situations, but also the mental resilience to deal with the startle reactions which commonly result from such incidents.
Our candidates will be trained to recover from every conceivable kind of aerodynamic stall, incipient spins, spiral dives and will leave the course with the confidence to recognise all of the possible unusual attitudes that an aircraft may find itself in after an upset, and safely return it to a steady flightpath.
Course Format
Our UPRT training course is delivered in our fleet of 5 Slingsby Firefly T67. All of our UPRT instructors are Airbus 320, 350, 380, Boeing 737, 787, 777 rated with military and significant aerobatic instructional experience.Â
Regulatory information on UPRT training, Â Advanced UPRT-Aeroplane can be found here.
It is worth noting that pilots holding an Aerobatic Rating, or have aerobatic experience, WILL NOT be exempt from the Advanced UPRT-Aeroplane Course.
No exemption has been granted for military pilots, so it is mandatory that the Advanced UPRT-Aeroplane Course will be required for all military pilots transitioning to a civilian licence. There is no such thing as an abridging course for military pilots - the full course must be completed.
Course Requirements
Applicants must hold a UK CAA or EASA licence and meet the requirements of FCL.745.A. Due to aircraft operating limitations, participants must not exceed a maximum weight of 110kg (17 stone 3 lbs), a maximum hip size of 114cm (45 inches), or a maximum height of 1.95m (6ft 5in).
