UPRT for Airlines

“We show you what you need, and how to achieve it – effectively and efficiently”

We like to deliver our training with the end result in mind.

Pilots who follow our UPRT course will:

• be better prepared for unexpected events
• be more capable to manage startle reflex
• have a deeper understanding of aerodynamics
• use their many competencies to resolve problems
• BE MORE CONFIDENT

Competency-Based Type-Specific UPRT for any Fleet

UPRT is an opportunity for every airline to standardise its pilots on the life-saving skills of recognition and recovery from hazardous upset conditions. IDT’s training methodology takes the pilot back to basics and assures them of their skills and knowledge, possibly required in a deciding and time-critical moment.

IDT’s training program covers every aspect of this training, including the academic knowledge and skill-based training in the simulator.

Most importantly, the IDT program is a train-to-proficiency approach, where the instructor is taught the skills on how to deliver the correct message, and how to assess the student’s competencies.

All simulator training is type-specific, and lesson plans have been developed for most commercial airlines – FBW, conventional and turboprops.

The integration of knowledge with actual skills closes the loop in UPRT training.

IDT’s qualified UPRT training program consists of a training exercises library. Type-specific lesson plans are available for:

• Awareness & Prevention Exercises
• Maneuvers-Based Recovery Exercises
• Scenario-Based Exercises

In developing and validating the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes associated with UPRT, the student is systematically exposed to the training elements, rapidly developing the basic understanding that is later applied to recoveries, and finally validated in scenarios. The program is coherent with Competency-Based Training and Assessment and Evidence Based Training

Scenarios become increasingly type-specific, utilising learning elements derived from LOSA and other data sources.

• IDT has provided start-to-finish support to several airlines and ATO’s, based on hands-on experience in creating these guidelines and rules.
• Our UPRT Program meets compliance while building instructor and pilot competencies.
• Services
