Industry Topic 5 - UPRT
Thursday 29th July 2021
12:00pm UTC / 13:00pm BST / 14:00pm CEST
We have discussed Upset Prevention and Recovery Training in working groups and conferences for more than a decade. One would think that since the implementation phase is active and most authorities have mandated UPRT, there would be little interest in further discussion. Nonetheless, based on the survey for the HoT meeting, UPRT is indeed an area with implementation challenges, and sometimes unintended shortcomings, in applying the regulations.
The first question is finding the right balance between compliance and competency. The sometimes complex and exhaustive regulatory requirements can be so confusing for some that the training quality suffers. It appears to be challenging to some to develop a compliant programme while also providing meaningful training. There must be enough time to train both basic skills as well as realistic scenarios, which in fact validate the basics.
The on-aircraft training requirements remain a complex subject for ATOs. Finding suitable aircraft, qualified instructors, and understanding the various authorities’ needs can make it difficult. Instructor qualifications are paramount!
UPRT is ongoing training, not a one-shot effort. Academics are the basis, and the programmes should focus on prevention first, but also devote enough time to recoveries. Upsets are rare, but their startle-effect can rapidly escalate the pilot’s stress levels. Instructor training is key to success, and instructors should adapt training to individual needs. Take the necessary time to get it right, or it is time wasted!
“Regulations are more like a shopping list of approved ingredients. Ultimately, an operator must prepare the meal for the pilots through qualified chefs (instructors); authorities must ensure proper nutrition and avoid food poisoning. The ‘poisoning’ refers to ‘negative training transfer’, and it should be in everyone’s best interest to avoid it.” – Dr. Advani.
Dr. Sunjoo Advani, President of IDT and former chair of the ICATEE working group that drafted the UPRT regulation, will present in the webinar the results of an industry expert working group.
Join us on 27th May where our experts present the working group summary on UPRT, corresponding regulatory guidance, key insights, and recommendations, and conclude with an open Q&A session.
About the series:
Last month, Civil Aviation Training (CAT) magazine, held a Heads of Training online meeting to discuss the “HoT” topics facing the airline training community in Europe. CAT recognizes the need to continue this discussion as it is of utmost importance to our industry. With a select group of stakeholders, we will further address the six critical matters on the regulatory and airline horizon in a series of workshops and webinars.

Some of these topics have been with us for multiple years; others are more recent or have become more disruptive to airline training because of the pandemic.
Subject matter experts invited by CAT will discuss these topics in greater depth via a series of working groups. Each session will focus on understanding an individual topic in greater depth, assessing the impact on the industry, and raising awareness or recommending a course of action.
The output of these workshops will be showcased in a series of interactive thought-leadership webinars open to the entire airline training community.
Places are limited to 300.
