Aviation Performance Solutions (APS), a provider of Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT), has launched a customised UPRT enrichment programme specifically designed for Citation Jet Pilots (CJP) Association member pilots.

“At APS we are committed to providing Citation Jet Pilots with the most comprehensive and relevant training to enhance safety and operational effectiveness,” says CEO Paul BJ Ransbury. “Our partnership with CJP allows us to deliver targeted training that addresses specific challenges faced by Citation jet pilots, ensuring they are prepared for any situation.”

CJP CEO Rob Balzano adds: “This partnership with APS is a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to elevate safety and proficiency within the Citation community. We provide our members with the most relevant and effective training by incorporating real-world scenarios that reflect our operational challenges. This programme is not just about meeting a standard, it’s about setting a new benchmark for safety in our industry.”

APS invites all NBAA-BACE 2024 attendees to visit Booth #1665 for an exclusive opportunity to experience two immersive virtual reality training scenarios:

CJP Scenario Experience: Engage in a CJP-specific scenario focused on executing a go-around from an approach that does not meet Safe To Land criteria. This virtual reality session allows pilots to understand and manage the dynamics of a nose-up pitch moment due to high thrust application, ensuring safety during critical phases of flight.

Circle-to-Land Accident Scenario: Experience a realistic simulation of circle-to-land fatal accidents. This session offers both ride-along and flying opportunities, providing NBAA-BACE attendees with a chance to practice and refine their skills in one of the most challenging and dangerous manoeuvres in aviation.

Demos will be available at the APS booth #1665. Pilots interested in participating are encouraged to reserve their slots by visiting the APS website for advance reservations. A large-screen TV repeater allows observers to watch the virtual reality sessions and learn from the demonstrations facilitated by APS UPRT experts.

These virtual reality sessions provide pilots with a hands-on, interactive learning environment that reinforces the critical training elements of the CJP-specific UPRT enrichment programme, enhancing safety and operational readiness.
