Global Implementation of Upset Prevention & Recovery Training

Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT) is rapidly being implemented by airlines worldwide due to regulations requiring this training. UPRT is intended to improve the ability of pilots to develop an awareness of hazards that can lead to upsets, to train pilots on how best to prevent upsets, and to develop recovery skills if awareness and prevention fails. These upsets can include unintended attitude excursions or stalls. This paper will review the requirements for proper UPRT implementation in airlines and discuss some of the issues as airlines start to implement this training into their programs.
