A lot of you are missing the essential point; a few minutes of hand-flying a departure or arrival isn't going to solve this problem! The real issue is that young pilots of today have so little experience of handling aircraft at the edge of their performance envelopes that they have nothing to fall back on when things go wrong.

The emerging thought is that Upset Recovery Training during initial training and at regular refresher training afterwards - relevant to the aircraft that they operate - is now vital.
