Lay the Groundwork for Effective UPRT in Any Fixed-wing Airplane...
For many aspects of pilot training, we concentrate on the individual systems and differences for each specific aircraft type. In upset prevention and recovery, the name of the game is simply returning the aircraft safely and effectively to the heart of the normal envelope. It turns out that the basic considerations in doing that are based on the same underlying aerodynamic and physical principles. This course explains those essential considerations, laying a groundwork for effective upset recovery in any fixed-wing airplane you will ever fly.
