Introduction How many times have we been accidentally upside down in an aircraft? For most of us out there the answer is never. It is difficult to believe that this would ever happen to you, so generally we ignore the possibility. But, a little ice build up on the wing, wake turbulence from an airliner, winds rolling across mountains, an autopilot gone beserk, an overly exuberant manoeuvre gone wrong! All or any of these could, can and will cause an unwelcome attitude if unprepared! What is Upset Recovery Training? Our Upset Recovery Course is designed to familiarise pilots with what puts the aircraft into an upset situation, the effects it will have on an aircraft’s performance, and how to avoid it. We will look at aircraft handling near and at the stall, spinning, recovering the aircraft from extreme unusual attitudes, ie. Nose high, nose low, inverted upset situations. We will also introduce the pilot to basic aerobatic manoeuvres essential to recovery from upset conditions and also rather fun! For example. An aerobatics trained pilot who was flying a Grob aircraft over Colorado some years ago, encountered mountain turbulence. The pilot quickly found himself going inverted despite his best intentions to stop the roll with opposing aileron. The pilot, decided that the best way to go was to go all the way round. He completed a 360 degree roll and returned to level flight. Would you have done the same? Our Course. This 2 day 4 mission Upset Recovery Training course is, we think, the perfect program for all pilots of all skill levels wanting to learn more about stalls, unusual attitude and spin prevention. You will receive comprehensive ground, flight and post flight instruction on situations from stalls to unusual attitudes to spin dynamics and prevention. We will also include basic aerobatics to reinforce your recovery skills. Mission Outlines. Training mission 1. Fuji FA200-180 handling.
