Addresses the needs of a professional jet pilot to reduce the Loss of Control In-flight risks in a simulator environment.
In some cases pilots or flight departments may have a need or desire to receive UPRT in a Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) alone. While this necessarily limits some aspects of UPRT instruction, no other training provider in the world has more experience with simulator-based Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) than APS. Our instructors are cross qualified in both airplane and simulator training delivery. When providing instruction in the virtual environment they can personally convey the human factor impacts that are present in flight. They are experts at using flight simulation platforms within their valid training envelopes, and in mitigating the possibility of negative training which can occur if instructors are not well versed in the limitations posed in delivering UPRT in simulators. As with all APS training, a systematic, building block approach provides an academic basis for practical elements trained in the simulator.
Any of the enhancements below can be added onto your base program. Only enhancements recommended by APS for the Jet Pilot Simulator-only Upset Training course are listed.
Initial Formation Training for an introduction to formation principles, techniques, and flight discipline for pilots of any airplane type.
APS S211 upset training augments core UPRT skills in a swept wing jet environment while integrating modern flight deck technologies.
