Ultimate High UPRT Academy – UPRT course delivery specialists - Why choose us for your training?

​

• Highly experienced instructors - we have 12 UPRT Instructors; nearly all of them have worked in the military as well as for commercial airlines as senior instructors.  They are passionate about teaching UPRT; the focus of our training is predicated on our strong belief as operators in 'Keeping It Simple', whilst helping you develop a variety of mitigating strategies and recovery techniques to deal with Flight Upsets, resulting in developing genuine pilot resilience.

​​

• Immaculately maintained powerful aircraft - we have 3x T67M260 Slingsby Fireflies; the 260 hp engine means that the aircraft has an excellent rate of climb, so a lot can be achieved during the airborne exercises. These aircraft are side-by-side seating, to replicate your normal work environment - a much more suitable training environment than tandem aircraft.  The aircraft are a delight to fly; flights are flown to the same G limits as your aircraft - typically +2.5G to -1G.

​​

• Location at Goodwood on the south coast - open Class G air space means that there is no transit time before you can start the airborne exercises, and the coastal surrounding makes for a beautiful flying area.  Historic Goodwood Aerodrome, with its Spitfires and Motor Circuit is a special place.

​​

• Ground training conducted face-to-face, with comprehensive pre-course study, case studies etc - you will find our very thorough ground school extremely beneficial to your learning.

​​​

• Used by the Professionals - organisations like AirTanker, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, the AAIB, 2excel, easyJet and several National Aviation Authorities have selected the Ultimate High Academy as their UPRT provider, often to help develop their own TRI knowledge.  As the longest established UPRT school in Europe, representing the CAA  on the EASA Loss Of Control Rule Making Group, we helped write the requirements for FCL.745.A on-aircraft UPRT and FCL.915(e) (UPRT FI) which became mandatory in December 2019.  We continue to work with the airlines and with National Aviation Regulators including the CAA, to improve and standardise UPRT.

 

• Our expertise is recognised throughout the Industry - we are the only UK ATO to have been invited to present on UPRT at conferences throughout Europe including the EASA Safety Conference in Luxemburg, the International Flight Crew Training Conference at the RAeS, the European Airline Training Symposium in Berlin and Portugal, the International Symposium on Pilot Startle and Surprise in Soesterberg, Netherlands, and many more.
