What is URPT and why is it important?

Upset Recovery and Prevention Training (URPT) teaches pilots how to recognise, avoid, and recover from unusual attitudes and loss-of-control situations.
Loss of control in flight remains one of the leading causes of aviation accidents. URPT focuses on:
• High/low nose attitudes
• Unusual bank angles
• Stall recognition and recovery
• Spin awareness and recovery
• Human factors under startle response
The goal is prevention first — recovery second.
