It will be offered for the Cessna CJ3, Gulfstream G450, Gulfstream G650, King Air 350 and Pilatus PC-12. FlightSafety’s Upset Prevention and Recovery training was first introduced for the Gulfstream GV and Gulfstream G550 in June 2015. These new courses will become available between now and the end of the year. The location and start date varies by aircraft type.

This advanced training uses the only flight simulator expanded aerodynamic, flight control, and motion models for Upset Prevention and Recovery Training qualified by the United States Federal Aviation Administration’s National Simulator Program. The models developed and incorporated into the simulators include low speeds that replicate full aerodynamic stalls and extreme high speeds beyond VMO, the maximum airspeed at which an aircraft is certified to operate, and beyond MMO, the maximum operating Mach number of an aircraft.

“FlightSafety’s advanced upset prevention and recovery courses exceed EASA requirements,” said Dann Runik, Executive Director, Advanced Training Programs. “Our courses are aircraft type specific and include manufacturer approved techniques and procedures for recovering from upsets due to aerodynamic stall, as well as high speed/mach events well in excess of the certified maximum speeds. Pilots safely experience historically accurate upset scenarios while very low to the ground as well as night and instrument meteorological conditions which would be far too dangerous to do in an aircraft. The training also helps pilots to increase their knowledge of aerodynamics and develop new skills that are critical to safe operations. FlightSafety’s UPRT program meets the highest training goal, not just the minimum regulatory standard.”
