Upset Prevention and Recovery Seminars (UPRS)
Loss of Control in Flight (LOC-I) is, according to EASA and many Authorities around the globe, the “[…] most deadly cause of fatal accidents in general aviation.”
In just four years, LOC-I has resulted in 66 fatalities from 39 accidents, and these numbers continue to rise.
The question arises: Why do these accidents continue to occur?
It is important to note that more than 90% of Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) incidents are caused by upsets that go unnoticed, making them impossible to recover from. The most critical types of LOC-I are stalls, spins, and rolls, especially when close to the ground. It is worth mentioning that current regulations do not require Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) in courses for the Light Aircraft Pilot License (LAPL) and Private Pilot License (PPL).
However, EASA acknowledges that LOC-I, coupled with inadequate Upset Prevention and Recovery training, remains the primary cause of fatal accidents across all license levels and is planning to extend this training to all License level.
How can we avoid Loss of Control in Flight (LOC-I)?
Wings Level is actively engaged in the realm of Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (AUPRT) and Loss of Control in Flight prevention (LOC-I) through a range of dedicated informative events, articles, and hands-on training opportunities. Our team of expert AUPRT instructors is enthusiastic about offering engaging Upset Prevention and Recovery Seminars (UPRS). These seminars are custom-tailored for groups, flight schools, or individual pilots, with a singular focus on equipping you with the knowledge and skills required to prevent, identify, and confidently recover from the most common upsets that could potentially lead to in-flight control loss.
UPRS are dedicated to pilot at any license level even if they have already undergone the AUPRT course.
