Air Asia Indonesia Lost Contact from Surabaya to Singapore

[Jack of All]

UPRT

I have recently undergone the Upset Recovery Training developed specifically to train airline crew to recognize and recover from extreme upsets and Loss of Control Inflight ( LOC-I).

I am an Airbus TC on the 320, and I must say, after that program, we are staring at the biggest threat to airline ops completely wide-eyed and unprepared.

This totally redefines the concept of unusual attitude recovery. Hugely.

Thank heavens this has actually been developed, refined and is now actually being implemented. Google UPRT and have a look at the excellent documents available.

Let your management know in no uncertain terms that this must form part of your recurrent program THIS YEAR.

Push. Roll. Power. Stabilize!
