📣 APS Citation Jet UPRT – Special Introductory Offer

For a limited time, we're offering introductory pricing on the Citation Jet Simulator UPRT Program.

Designed specifically for Citation pilots, the program features Citation-specific scenarios and learning objectives and serves as an entry point into APS's broader Citation Jet UPRT training pathway.

✈ $4,795 per pilot
✈ Preferred crew pricing available
✈ Full simulator tuition credit toward a future on-aircraft program
✈ Citation-specific training content

If you've been considering UPRT but weren't ready to commit to an on-aircraft program, this is an opportunity to begin with a Citation-focused simulator experience and apply that investment toward future integrated training.

*Introductory slots are limited by instructor and simulator availability and close September 30, 2026.

⏱️How can pilots consistently apply the right recovery actions when seconds matter?

APS CEO Paul "BJ" Ransbury and EVP Flight Operations Clarke "Otter" McNeace recently joined UPRTA International President Dave Carbaugh and Jeffrey Wofford to discuss why leading operators are increasingly converging toward unified upset recovery strategies designed to improve pilot performance under startle, surprise, and time-critical conditions.

✈️NEW RESOURCE: UPRT Provider Evaluation Checklist + Four-Level UPRT Delivery Architecture

There are dozens of Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) programs in the market. Yet there has never been a simple way to compare what different training architectures are actually designed to accomplish.

To help flight department leaders evaluate their options, APS has released a provider-agnostic framework that outlines UPRT architecture levels and illustrates the relative operational Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) risk-mitigation potential each is structurally capable of delivering under near-perfect execution.

A key insight: simulation and on-aircraft training address different dimensions of the LOC-I threat. When appropriately integrated within a seamless UPRT program, their strengths become complementary, creating a more complete pilot development system than either modality can provide alone.

Importantly, this chart evaluates architectural capability—not provider performance. It shows what a training architecture is capable of achieving when optimally implemented. It does not determine whether any specific provider delivers outcomes consistent with that capability ceiling.

The framework for jet pilots was developed through a multi-disciplinary effort involving operational UPRT experts, aviation safety leaders, and independent analytical review. A more comprehensive publication detailing the methodology, assumptions, and conclusions is soon to be released.

What separates a good safety culture from a great one? The strongest operators treat safety as active, iterative, and deeply connected to both daily decisions and pilot competency. We explore these themes in our latest article.
