UPRT PROVIDERS CONFERENCE

UPRT Conference invited all associated with UPRT Instruction to develop standardisation of this important training at Caboolture Airfield on the 1st August 2022. Videos of the event are below.



















UPRT remains unregulated and not mandatory training despite Loss of Control Inflight (LOCi) remaining the largest contributor to loss of life and hull

Many experienced aviators have identified the importance of the training and have developed their own program to provide pilots with the awareness and skills to combat LOCi

This conference is a “meeting of the minds” of providers and the aviation industry drivers to enhance and develop the ways of improving UPRT.
