Upset Maneuvers Training

 

CAPT students have the option to complete an extensive upset recovery training course with APS Emergency Maneuver Training (APS). APS is the industry's leading provider of upset recovery, emergency maneuver, instrument recovery and spin avoidance/recovery training. Specifically designed for professional aviators of all categories of fixed wing aircraft to recognize, avoid and recovery from any upset scenario, the APS course directly addresses Loss of Control In-Flight, the leading cause of accidents in aviation worldwide.

The CAPT Upset Recovery Training course of training has been uniquely customized to ensure it directly meets the training needs of its students. A rigorous combination of hands-on maneuver-based and scenario-based training profiles both increase the student's fundamental flying skills as well as directly compliment the rapid development of Aeronautical Decision Making amidst potentially life-threatening upset/emergency conditions.

This 3-day, 5-mission course is APS's answer to the needs of the Professional Pilot seeking a corporate or career airline position. It combines the 3-mission Upset Recovery Training course with a thorough Spin Training indoctrination as well as the addition of the Instrument Recovery Training Mission. As in all APS courses, the CAPT student receives comprehensive ground, flight and post-flight instruction on situations from stalls to unusual attitudes to fully developed spins, including basic aerobatics to reinforce recovery skills. All APS Instructor Pilots are formal-course military flight instructors with extensive corporate/airline flight time as well as vast unusual attitude and aerobatic flight experience in jet and GA category aircraft.

Safety is top priority at CAPT. The APS fleet of German-built “Extra 300Ls” are the ideal classroom to safely instruct all aspects of the various APS training programs. Although APS teaches its course within the performance capabilities of both General Aviation and Business Jet aircraft, the Extra 300L is certified to +/- 10G’s, has no prohibited maneuvers, boasts jet-like performance and has a climb rate in excess of 3200 fpm, making it one of the safest and most capable aircraft in the sky.

Upset scenarios potentially leading to Loss of Control In-Flight can happen just as easily in IMC as they can in VMC regardless of the type or technological advancement of the aircraft flown … CAPT graduates are prepared.
