UPRT Upset Prevention and Recovery Training

Product Description

UPRT Upset Prevention and Recovery Training e-course:

We have designed the course in close cooperation with our airline partners that have contributed with experience and knowledge. The course covers all important subjects including cases, Stall Recovery, Upset Recovery, Aerodynamics, Causes and Contributing Factors, G Load and Energy Awareness, Recognition, System Malfunction, Human Factors and CRM. The user will experience a multimedia course with two virtual instructors called Michael and Michelle.

Who should take the course?

Flight crew members and flight instructors

How long is the program?

The program is designed to last approx. 180 minutes.
