Upset Prevention & Recovery Training
EASA-mandated UPRT for CPL(A) students and for candidates for certain first type ratings. Theory plus practical flight on the FFA AS202 Bravo at Bern-Belp.
What UPRT covers
Since 20 December 2019, EASA regulations require Upset Prevention and Recovery Training at a certified flight school for the licences and ratings listed below. UPRT prepares pilots to recognise, prevent, and recover from unintended flight conditions, the situations that account for the largest share of loss-of-control accidents.
When UPRT is required
UPRT is required in these cases (Part-FCL):
- ·Before the first type rating for a multi-pilot aeroplane (students on an MPL course excepted): the advanced UPRT course, 5 h theory and 3 h dual flight (FCL.720.A(b)(5), FCL.745.A)
- ·Before the first type rating for a complex high-performance single-pilot aeroplane: the same advanced UPRT course (FCL.720.A(a)(3)(ii))
- ·Within CPL(A) training: UPRT elements are part of the course (FCL.315.A)
Prerequisites
A valid medical certificate plus one of the following licences:
- ·CPL(A) modular or integrated, or CPL-IR(A)
- ·MPL
- ·PPL(A)
- ·LAPL(A)
Training programme
The course is split into a theory module and a practical flight module.
Theory, 5 hours
Aerodynamics, G-forces, flight-path management, recognition (instrument reading and control inputs), system malfunctions, and human factors.
Practical, 3 hours flight
Unusual attitudes trained on two aircraft. Bristell B23 with modern glass cockpit for EFIS awareness in nose-high, nose-low, and stall regimes. FFA AS202 Bravo for spins and incipient spirals.
Training focus
- · High and low pitch at various bank angles
- · Stall recognition and recovery
- · Spin awareness and recovery
Certification
On successful completion you receive an EASA-recognised UPRT certificate, valid for the licence and rating purposes for which UPRT is required.
