APS brings industry-leading Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT) to Dassault pilots, with aircraft-specific programs designed to address the leading cause of fatalities in commercial aviation.
Mesa, Arizona — August 13, 2026 — APS is expanding its aircraft-family Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) portfolio with dedicated training for Dassault pilots, giving operators a more complete pathway from foundational upset prevention and recovery skills to aircraft-family-relevant proficiency.
Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) remains aviation’s leading fatal accident threat. Effective preparation begins with capabilities that must remain available regardless of the aircraft a pilot is flying: recognizing and preventing a developing upset, making sound decisions under pressure, and recovering manually when necessary—even when startle, surprise, stress, and time pressure interfere with normal performance.
Developing those foundational skills is the first step. Pilots then need to apply them confidently in the operational environment they encounter every day.
APS’s Dassault Family UPRT advances that preparation. Building on foundational UPRT, the program helps Dassault pilots refine proven upset prevention and recovery skills in the context of aircraft-family handling characteristics, jet energy management, automation, high-altitude operations, and realistic operational scenarios.
“LOC-I can develop quickly, and pilots have to be able to access the right skills under pressure ,” said Paul ‘BJ’ Ransbury, CEO of Aviation Performance Solutions. “Dassault Family UPRT gives pilots the opportunity to take the skills they develop in foundational UPRT and sharpen their application in a highly relevant environment. We want that connection to be well established before a pilot ever needs it. ”
Dassault Family UPRT extends APS’s proven approach from foundational knowledge and all-attitude skills through advanced simulation and aircraft-family application—giving Dassault pilots unmatched expertise and a more complete path to preparedness for aviation’s leading fatal accident threat.
Programs begin at $4,795.
