WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE
2024 UPRT WORKSHOP?
For many years, Strike Aviation Training (SAT) has driven UPRT for General and Recreational Aviation here in Australia, and is now working with CASA and RAAus, to help develop an appropriate UPRT Flight Training Instructor framework that will address and improve the “DELIVERY” of flight instruction, by incorporating UPRT elements throughout initial and further training.
An invitation is extended to pilots of all levels from student, through to ATPL to attend a UPRT Workshop on the 28th June 2024.
Spend the day with Rich Stowell discussing important subjects such as;
> The Nine Principles of Light Airplane Flying,
> Stall/Spin Awareness, and
> a sneak peek into Rich’s popular lessons about “Learn to Turn”.
Just to name a few
Rich is one of the world’s leading experts on ”Spin Recovery” and “Emergency Manoeuvre Training”. In fact, Rich has been called “One of the architects of modern UPRT”.
Stowell is a recognized subject matter expert in loss of control in light airplanes. He has been a panellist at two events hosted by the NTSB in Washington, DC, and worked as an expert witness for the Department of Justice Aviation, Space, and Admiralty Litigation Section.

GOALS OF THE
2024 UPRT WORKSHOP
Increase the skills awareness and knowledge of GA and recreational pilots (especially instructors) to counter and respond to about the hazards that cause the largest number of injuries and fatalities.
Encourage further learning and training in this interesting and safety-critical area of pilot expertise by making it accessible at ALL levels of aviation training.
Provide a pathway for GA and RAAus current and future instructors to advance toward a bench-marked level of instructor competence, especially as it relates to awareness, prevention, and recovery of LOC-I.
WORKSHOP PROGRAM COMING SOON
Since the dawn of flight, Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I) remains by far the biggest cause of fatal accidents in aviation.
Occasionally a LOC-I event is something that can happen with no warning whatsoever however, in a large majority of cases there is ample warning, and the pilot simply does not recognise the onset, failing to take the appropriate preventative action. Understanding the consequences of inappropriate pilot inputs, “Startle & Surprise”, and undertaking training for events that may call for counter-intuitive control inputs, could make the difference in ensuring survival.
Key commercial airline accidents such as Colgan Flight 3407 and Air France 447 were the drivers for ICAO to develop DOC 10011 which provides a foundation to combat LOC-I through structured Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT). Regulators worldwide have issued guidance material on this subject and mandated training for Air Transport pilots, but NOT for General Aviation. Despite almost every UPRT symposium, workshop and conference identifying the root cause of LOC-I as inadequate abinitio and advanced flight training, the standards of the “Flight Instructor” has not kept up with the changing landscape.
The very first flight training syllabus was developed back in 1917 by Major Robert Smith-Barry (RFC) and when compared to what we teach today the structure remains very similar. Since Robert Smith-Barry prepared his pilots for WW1 we have learnt so much about how aircraft fly, Human Factors, Threat and Error Management and energy management. Why then does LOC-I remain the #1 cause of fatalities in aviation?
The answer requires us to analyze - WHAT are we teaching,
and HOW are we delivering pilot training?
MOVING FORWARD
EASA and RAAus are leading the world by developing a syllabus of flight training which will include LOCiPT content to each element of pilot training from Flight #1 – Effects of Controls onward. This commitment to improving the pilots “Primacy” will produce a safer, and more competent pilot.
While a welcome start, publishing training exercises in an approved syllabus will not be enough. Unfortunately, LOC-I accidents with a flight instructor onboard are one of the highest instances of LOC-I, further reinforcing the flaws in “HOW” we are teaching pilots. Instructors need to be trained not only in LOC-I awareness, prevention, and recovery themselves, but also how to deliver the training safely and effectively.
Some LOC-I exercises
can be performed in an LSA or “Normal Category” aircraft,
but many cannot.

CAUTION
BEWARE
Currently, UPRT is NOT mandated or even regulated by CASA or RAAus, however ICAO and regulators world-wide have published specific guidance material.
