Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) will host its annual Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) Safety Summit for Professional Pilots Worldwide on September 29. The free aviation safety event, to be broadcast via LinkedIn Live, will connect, share knowledge, and create meaningful dialog with professionals from all segments of aviation.
According to APS, loss of control in flight (LOC-I) represents one of the most pressing challenges in aviation safety. Thus, this year’s summit is dedicating a significant portion of its agenda to addressing this issue and is structured into four one-hour sessions tailored to specific aviation segments—airline, corporate/Part 135, general aviation/instructor, and safety management system (SMS) auditing. Each session has a panel of industry safety and training experts.
The airline track will focus on approaches to optimize UPRT to mitigate the LOC-I threat and will include presentations from Delta Air Lines, Global Airways, and APS.
Session two, the corporate/part 135 track, provides a deeper look into theoretical knowledge with hands-on training, technical innovation, and collaboration. Sonnie Bates of Wyvern and current and former NBAA Safety Committee chairs will present.
The third session is tailored to general aviation pilots and instructors, with an emphasis on operational risk management. Master APS UPRT instructors will host this session. Session four’s SMS auditor panel will offer practical solutions to overcome the LOC-I risk, with presentations from several SMS pros.
