APS Launches Pilatus Family UPRT Program for PC-12 and PC-24 Pilots

New aircraft-family-specific Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT) addresses the diverse missions, operating environments and demands of Pilatus pilots.

MESA, AZ, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Aviation Performance Solutions (APS), a global leader in Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT), today announced its new Pilatus Family UPRT Program, providing PC-12 and PC-24 pilots with advanced upset training tailored to the aircraft they fly and the environments in which they operate.
Pilatus aircraft are built for versatility. From single-pilot PC-12 operations into remote and short-field destinations to high-altitude PC-24 jet missions, Pilatus pilots routinely operate across a remarkably broad range of missions and conditions.

The new APS Pilatus Family UPRT Program brings that operational context into a comprehensive training solution designed to prepare pilots to recognize, prevent and recover from unexpected airplane upsets before they escalate into Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), the number one cause of aviation fatalities.
“Pilatus aircraft give pilots tremendous capability and operational flexibility, requiring training that reflects the way these aircraft are actually flown,” said Paul “BJ” Ransbury, CEO of Aviation Performance Solutions. “Our Pilatus program prepares pilots for the unexpected, building the skills and resilience to prevent an airplane upset from becoming a catastrophic loss of control.”

APS Pilatus Family UPRT combines academics, all-attitude on-aircraft training, advanced simulation, jet UPRT and type-specific virtual reality to develop transferable upset prevention and recovery skills tailored to the unique capabilities, operating environments and missions of PC-12 and PC-24 pilots. Building on more than a decade of supporting the Pilatus pilot community, including partnership with the Pilatus Owners and Pilots Association (POPA), the program provides individual pilots, owner-pilots and flight departments with a clear UPRT path based on the aircraft and missions they fly.
