Improving the Safety of Air Travel
UPRTA’s goals include:
1. Increasing system safety in all phases of flight from general aviation through commercial airline transportation operations,
2. Reducing Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I) incidents and accidents through enhanced pilot knowledge, hands-on experience, and airmanship,
3. Standardizing upset training methods through the adoption of the consistent use of terminology and proven-effective instructional techniques, and
