Jet Upset Training Architecture: Evaluating UPRT for Real-World LOC-I Risk Control
For flight department leaders, UPRT is not just a training decision — it is an operational risk-control decision. The real question is whether the selected training architecture matches your aircraft, mission profile, altitude regime, pilot population, and actual Loss of Control In-flight exposure.
Join authors Paul “BJ” Ransbury, Clarke McNeace, and Randall Brooks for a live discussion on the Four-Level UPRT Delivery Architecture, developed from decades of applied UPRT delivery experience, regulatory guidance, human-factors research, and real-world implementation across professional aviation.
This session will help leaders move beyond “checking the UPRT box” and begin asking sharper questions about advanced simulation, all-attitude on-aircraft training, integrated delivery, class match, transferability, sustainment, and Safety Management System alignment.
Attend live and bring your questions.

✈️NEW RESOURCE: UPRT Provider Evaluation Checklist + Four-Level UPRT Delivery Architecture
There are dozens of Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) programs in the market. Yet there has never been a simple way to compare what different training architectures are actually designed to accomplish.
To help flight department leaders evaluate their options, APS has released a provider-agnostic framework that outlines UPRT architecture levels and illustrates the relative operational Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) risk-mitigation potential each is structurally capable of delivering under near-perfect ex*****on.
A key insight: simulation and on-aircraft training address different dimensions of the LOC-I threat. When appropriately integrated within a seamless UPRT program, their strengths become complementary, creating a more complete pilot development system than either modality can provide alone.
Importantly, this chart evaluates architectural capability—not provider performance. It shows what a training architecture is capable of achieving when optimally implemented. It does not determine whether any specific provider delivers outcomes consistent with that capability ceiling.
The framework for jet pilots was developed through a multi-disciplinary effort involving operational UPRT experts, aviation safety leaders, and independent analytical review. A more comprehensive publication detailing the methodology, assumptions, and conclusions is soon to be released.
