Flight Research, Inc. completes world's first Supersonic Civilian Upset Recognition and Recovery Training Course
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Flight Research Upset Recognition and Recovery Training combats the number
one cause of worldwide fatal aircraft accidents; Flight Research, Inc. is the
only provider of URRT in supersonic aircraft for professional pilots
MOJAVE, Calif., Feb. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flight Research instructor and
former NASA astronaut Billy Oefelien just gave a certificate of completion to
the first ever civilian professional pilot to complete upset training in
supersonic flight. Oefelien says, "It is a wonderful experience to train pilots
to this ultimate level of competence and prepare them to save lives through this
course."

This is High-Performance upset training in supersonic aircraft using the T-38
Talon. Highly experienced instructors teach professional civil pilots to
understand the characteristics of transonic and supersonic flight by relating
aerodynamic theory to practical flying.
VP of Operations, Scott Glaser, explains why this course is unique and the first
of its kind: "Civil jet aircraft have evolved into extremely high performance
machines. Unfortunately, pilot training has not evolved at the same pace. These
aircraft are capable of very high altitudes and speeds, approaching supersonic,
where airplanes behave differently than they do at slower speeds. As such, a
different set of skills is required to deal with upsets in this flight regime
which are not taught to civil pilots. FAA Advisory Circular 61-107A details that
a number of corporate jet airplanes have been involved in catastrophic loss of
control during high-altitude/high-speed flight. Airplanes unintentionally
exceeded the speed of sound during upset with catastrophic results due to lack
of pilot training. Flight Research provides the solution to fill this training
gap, HiPer URRT."
Flight Research URRT meets all FAA, EASA, and ICAO upset training compliance
standards. It is a necessary part of any safety and training program as the most
robust and comprehensive upset training in the world.
Tune in to see Flight Research, CEO Bill Korner address Loss of Control and
pilot training on Fox Business Network this Sunday.
