Experience upset recovery in a real jet.
Develop the skills to recognize, prevent, and recover from aircraft upsets before they become loss-of-control accidents. Tailored L-39C UPRT for professional pilots, aircraft owners, and corporate flight departments.
Recognize. Prevent. Recover.
Loss of Control-In Flight is one of aviation's most significant causes of fatal accidents and aircraft losses. Our training gives pilots a controlled environment in which to develop the recognition, prevention, and recovery skills that matter when an upset develops.
See the upset developing
Identify changing attitudes, energy states, and conditions that can lead to loss of control before the situation becomes critical.
Keep the upset from escalating
Apply appropriate aircraft control and decision-making techniques to prevent a developing upset from becoming a loss-of-control event.
Return to controlled flight
Build practical aircraft-control skills through progressive, instructor-led exposure to upset scenarios in a real jet.
A purpose-built platform for jet UPRT.
The Aero L-39C was designed as a military jet trainer, making it exceptionally well suited to advanced flight training and upset prevention and recovery.
Unlike training conducted exclusively in a light piston aircraft, the L-39 allows pilots to experience upset scenarios in a real, high-performance jet environment.
Experience aircraft response, energy, control forces, and attitude changes.
Wing loading closely matches a mid-sized corporate jet.
Train in an aircraft designed for high-altitude operations.
Excellent over-the-nose visibility and panoramic field of view.
Thousands were produced for military training and operational use.
Roomy, air-conditioned cockpit helps reduce fatigue and motion discomfort.
Seven hours of combined ground & flight instruction.
We begin in the classroom, establish the aerodynamic foundation, then progressively apply those concepts in the L-39C.
Academic Preparation
Review the aerodynamics and conditions associated with aircraft upsets, including energy and attitude, recognition, avoidance, prevention, recovery concepts, and human factors.
Safety & Aircraft Preparation
Conduct a comprehensive safety briefing covering the training profile, aircraft systems, emergency procedures, and hands-on emergency egress procedures.
Real-Jet Flight Training
Progress through a series of instructor-led exercises designed to develop practical upset recognition, prevention, and recovery skills.
Debrief & Application
Connect the training experience to the pilot's normal aircraft and operating environment. The objective is to take the skills developed in the L-39 back to the aircraft you actually fly.
Two flights. One comprehensive UPRT experience.
The standard two-flight syllabus provides a structured introduction to jet upset prevention and recovery while allowing the instructor to tailor the training to the pilot's experience, objectives, and needs.

Jet + Level D simulator.
Train the scenarios that are difficult or inappropriate to reproduce in the real aircraft, then bring those lessons into the jet.
The combined course follows the same academic foundation as our standard program, replaces the first flight with a Level D simulator session, then transitions to aircraft safety/egress training and an actual L-39 flight.
Discuss a Group ProgramSafety is fundamental to the training.
Our training philosophy is built around creating an environment in which pilots can learn effectively while minimizing unnecessary risk.
Prepared before we fly
Comprehensive classroom briefings address the planned training profile, aircraft considerations, and safety procedures before we ever start the engine.
Prepared in the airplane
At the aircraft, instructors review and demonstrate emergency egress procedures and ensure pilots understand the aircraft and training environment.
Progressive exposure
Training is conducted progressively, with the objective of providing meaningful exposure while maintaining appropriate safety margins.
Maximize learning
We deliberately structure the training to minimize unnecessary risk and maximize your ability to retain and apply what you learn.
Your operation isn't standard. Your training doesn't have to be either.
We can develop training around the pilot's background, aircraft experience, operational environment, and specific objectives.
Focused individual training
Build practical upset recognition and recovery skills with an instructor-led program tailored to your experience.
Customized department programs
Combine jet flight, simulator training, and additional scenarios for multi-pilot or multi-aircraft operations.
Volume programs
We offer custom packages and volume discounts for aircraft-owner associations and other larger groups.
Develop the skills before you need them.
