In response to COVID-19’s impact on pilot training and safety globally, Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) has rolled out a new line-up of free and paid 24/7 online Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT) courses to offer remote training opportunities during pilot downtime. Pilots and flight departments can credit paid courses to future practical UPRT programs.
Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) has announced a new line-up of free and paid online Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) course options. These courses, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7), allow pilots to study critical academic portions of upset training remotely at their own pace. Participating pilots can credit costs of the paid course options toward their future on-site UPRT programs.
Two main types of online training are available:
- Online Courses: These courses offer deep training on core academic concepts related to airplane aerodynamics and upsets, Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) and recovery concepts and techniques. APS is offering 50% Off every program in the ‘Online Courses’ section for a full 3 months for anyone signing up before 31 July 2020.
- Webinars: APS has released a series of free webinars as well as the option for flight departments to take the academics portion of their UPRT course remotely through live-interactive 1 to 3 hour webinars for 1 to 2000 participants with APS UPRT experts, or pre-designed scheduled webinar presentations.
“APS’s new online training options help to meet the needs of pilots who are currently unable to fly regularly during this unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic,” said Paul Ransbury, CEO of APS. “We are honored to support the safety training needs of the aviation industry during these challenging times through the mobilization of our elite UPRT instructors’ expertise and technology to support this initiative. We have great confidence in the ability of the industry to meet current challenges with optimism and innovation and climb back better and stronger than before.”
