Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (A-UPRT).
Increase your safety with Upset Prevention & Recovery Training
Getting A-UPRT at Wings over Holland
The Advanced Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (A-UPRT) at Wings over Holland is designed to prepare pilots to prevent and recover from undesirable flight situations. This training is essential for developing the skills to recognize loss of control and correct it quickly and effectively. To participate in the training, a pilot must have at least an LAPL (Light Aircraft Pilot License) and be medically cleared.
UPRT training consists of both theory and practice. The theory training lasts a minimum of 5 hours and is conducted classically in one half-day session. In practical training, pilots receive a minimum of 3 hours of flight training on a Fuji FH-20, including 40 minutes of ferry time to the training site. During flight training, various emergency scenarios are simulated, such as unexpected stalls and extreme flight attitudes, and pilots learn how to safely correct these situations.
Upon completion of Upset Prevention & Recovery Training, pilots have the skills to prevent and recover loss of control in the air, which is critical to flight safety. UPRT certification is a requirement for commercial pilots and is increasingly recommended within general and professional aviation. This makes it an essential training for pilots who want to strengthen their flying skills and be prepared for unexpected situations in the air.

What is A-UPRT?
Advanced Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (A-UPRT) is specialized training that teaches pilots to recognize, prevent and correct undesirable aircraft attitudes. During this training, scenarios are simulated in which an aircraft becomes out of normal flight parameters, such as stalls, uncontrolled rolls and abrupt dives. Pilots learn how to react quickly and effectively to restore control of the aircraft, which is essential to flight safety.
A-UPRT certification is valid indefinitely and does not require periodic renewal. Once obtained, a pilot complies with commercial flight regulations where UPRT is mandatory for ATPL and type ratings. However, regular training of these skills is still recommended to keep pilots prepared for unexpected situations in the air.
