Unusual Attitude Training Course
 An Unusual Attitude is any unanticipated situation where an aircraft is placed into a position where pitch is greater than 25 degrees nose up or 10 degrees nose down, yaw is greater than 45 degrees, and airspeed is unsuitable for the condition. Commonly caused by wake turbulence, microbursts, wind shear, mechanical failure, and pilot distraction, these types of aircraft upsets can result in unusual attitudes such as completely inverted flight, in a matter of seconds.
Most pilots have only cursory ground and in-flight training to deal with these kinds of emergencies yet loss of control scenarios are the second leading cause of aircraft fatalities. Even with strong knowledge of recovery procedures, most pilots have no opportunity to train for these unanticipated emergencies. Instead, they are forced to deal with these situations when they occur, relying solely on instinct and intuition, which are usually wrong or improper.
In 1995 the FAA “acknowledged National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommendations regarding training in recovery from unusual attitudes . . . the most valuable training would not necessarily be limited to unusual attitude recovery, but would also address recognition and containment of situations that might lead to unusual attitudes.”
Through HPAT’s Unusual Attitude Training Course your pilots will gain the skills and experience to confidently recover from any unusual attitude condition, as well as the knowledge to avoid these situations before they occur. Using an L-39 military jet trainer, which accurately simulates a corporate aircraft’s performance, along with thorough ground school training, our expert instructors are able to put pilots through a series of exercises that effectively simulate real-world aircraft upset conditions.
We examine:

High Performance Aircraft Training Unusual Attitude Training, includes:
• Four hours of ground school
• Two flights per students
Instructors put pilots through a variety of scenarios that emulate emergency situations. These events are simulated at high altitude, giving the pilot a safe margin of error while providing ample opportunity for the instructor to demonstrate and educate the pilot throughout each procedure.
The HPAT Unusual Attitude Training Course is offered either at your flight operations headquarters or at our training facility in New Jersey or our satellite facitlity in Reno, Nevada. The fee for the course is $5995.00 per pilot.
