Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) has launched its Embraer Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) programme, delivering a progressive training pathway built around the unique operating environment, mission profiles and handling characteristics of Embraer business aircraft.

Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) remains the leading cause of fatal aviation accidents worldwide. While professional pilots receive exceptional training throughout their careers, upset events often develop under surprise, startle and time pressure in situations that demand rapid recognition, sound judgment and precise aircraft control. The APS Embraer Family UPRT Program is designed to help pilots build those competencies within the context of the aircraft they fly every day.

Rather than treating upset recovery as a generic skill, the programme incorporates Embraer-relevant operational considerations throughout the learning experience. Pilots explore how upset prevention and recovery principles apply to the performance, operating envelope and mission demands commonly encountered during Embraer flight operations, helping bridge the gap between training and operational application.

“Meaningful learning happens when pilots can connect what they’re practising to their own operational environment,” says CEO Paul ‘BJ’ Ransbury. “Our Embraer Family UPRT Program places upset prevention and recovery into the context of Embraer operations, helping pilots build practical skills and confidence that translate directly to everyday flying.”

Training explores operational scenarios such as wake turbulence encounters, manual flight at altitude, approach and go-around loss-of-control risks and other situations that can challenge pilot performance and aircraft control during normal business aviation operations.

APS offers Embraer UPRT programme options for individual pilots and flight departments, with programmes beginning at $4,795.
