Upset Prevention and Recovery Seminar in Raron
October 12 - October 13
Calling All Pilots and Aviation Enthusiasts!
Join us at Raron Airfield on October 12th and 13th, 2024, for an unmissable event hosted by Wings Level, focused on Upset Awareness, Prevention, and Recovery (UPRT). This event is designed to sharpen your skills and understanding in one of aviation’s most critical safety areas: stall management and recovery.
Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or a student, this two-day event offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into the mechanics of flight safety through expert-led sessions, practical demonstrations, and interactive ground training.
Why Attend?
Stall-induced loss of control in flight (LOC-I) remains a leading cause of aviation accidents globally. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), LOC-I accounted for over 40% of fatal accidents in commercial aviation between 2010 and 2019. In general aviation, the situation is even more concerning. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reports that stall-related accidents are responsible for nearly 50% of all general aviation fatalities.
Event Highlights:
- 3-Hour Theoretical Course: Get a thorough understanding of stall dynamics, its causes, and effective recovery techniques. We will cover aerodynamic principles, real-world case studies, and practical prevention strategies, ensuring you’re prepared for any stall situation.
- 1-Hour Practical Training: Experience stall recovery firsthand in a controlled environment. You’ll have the chance to practice various types of stalls and learn critical recovery techniques that could save your life and the lives of others in real-world scenarios.
- Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow aviation professionals and enthusiasts, share experiences, and expand your aviation network.
Exclusive Feature: Real-Life G-BVDH Accident Replication
In a unique educational demonstration, Wings Level will replicate the infamous G-BVDH stall accident in real life using our aerobatic aircraft. This live demonstration will recreate the conditions that led to the accident, providing an unparalleled learning experience. Witness firsthand how stall-induced loss of control can unfold—and, more importantly, how it can be prevented. This is a rare opportunity to see theory turned into practice, giving you critical insights into avoiding such scenarios.
