Refresher Jet UPRT

Refresher Jet UPRT

Duration

2 training days (3 days with 1 backup day available)

Course Description

The Refresher Jet UPRT course is designed for students who have previously completed either the Transport Jet or the All Attitude Jet UPRT course.  It is intended to review the academics, UPRT course desired learning outcomes and upset recognition and recovery techniques that the student learned during Transport Jet or All Attitude Jet UPRT training. Academics include a review of the aerodynamic, stability and control, propulsion and flight control, and energy topics and concepts previously learned with a focus on recognizing upsets, preventing them and fine tuning recovery techniques. Aircraft specific training, familiarization, flight briefings and debriefings ensure student learning outcomes are achieved. Flight training includes one flight in the MB-326 Impala. Each student will:

  • Receive 7 hours of academic training to include
    • UPRT Introduction
    • Subsonic Aerodynamics review
    • Aircraft Limits, certification criteria and how that fits into upsets
    • Propulsion
    • Stability and Control
    • Digital flight controls
    • Energy management and lift vector control
    • Basic maneuver toolbox and recovery techniques
    • High altitude and high speed environment and performance effects
    • Transonic and supersonic aerodynamics
    • Energy concepts
    • Transonic and supersonic flying qualities
    • High performance operational considerations and case studies
    • Course wrap-up and debrief

 

  • Receive approximately 4 hours of aircraft/flight specific ground training, flight briefings and debriefings:
    • Flight gear fitting
    • Aircraft specific ground training
    • Ejection seat training for the Impala
    • Aircraft specific cockpit familiarization
    • Local area familiarization
    • Flight briefings and debriefings

 

  • Receive one flight of approximately one hour in the MB-326 Impala for flight demonstration and practice of:
    • Familiarization with the aircraft and airspace
    • All-attitude flying
    • Stalls
    • Spins
    • Unusual attitude recoveries
    • Lift vector control and energy management
    • Upset recognition training
    • Upset recovery training
    • Emergency descent profile
    • Simulated flameout approach
