😇 UPRT stands for Upset Prevention and Recovery Training. The term “UPRT” comes from ICAO Doc10011 and is seen in EASA Part-FCL, FAA AC120-111 and many regulatory requirements.

Doc10011 Manual on uprt has presented by ICAO since 2014 👍
👨✈️ UPRT is advanced flight training which mitigates the risk of Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), aviation’s number one cause of fatalities. From IATA statistic, the fatality risk by accident category from 2016-2021, as you can see, LOC-I has highest rate of fatalities and hull loss. In general, most people died when they became the statistic.
Most people died when they became the LOC-I statistic 😭
🤝 Industry and civil society groups, and other concerned regional and international organizations, CAAs, pilot representatives, airplane manufacturers and subject matter experts also participate in the exploration and development of accessing, controlling and mitigating the No.1 risk in the aviation industry.
🧐 They have found out that “Upset” is a precursor of LOC-I and revealed that some existing practices were found to be not only ineffective but were also considered a contributory factor in inappropriate responses by some flight crews. When we are talking about LOC-I, it is a “pilot training” issue.
So UPRT plays an important part in the industry by helping pilots gain the skills necessary to recognize, prevent, and if necessary, recover from an unexpected airplane upset.
UPRT provides provide comprehensive academic training or theoretical knowledge that covers the broad spectrum of issues surrounding airplane upsets and focuses on related topics for example aerodynamics.
UPRT also provides specific training in actual flight on capable light airplane.
When introducing multi-crew operations, UPRT is conducted in non-type-specific flight simulation training devices (FSTDs).
Remember, when we're talking about Loss Of Control In-flight. It's a pilot training issue.
