A - Loc-I and Uprt

1. The presentation discusses Loss of Control-Inflight (LOC-I) and Upset Prevention and Recognition Training (UPRT). 2. Research shows that LOC-I is primarily caused by pilot error resulting from unintended deviations from the intended flight path due to stalls, spins, or overbanked flight. 3. The "startle factor" can cause pilots to react incorrectly in emergency situations, so training aims to help pilots maintain control and respond calmly.

LOC-I (Loss of Control-Inflight)

UPRT (Upset Prevention and Recognition Training)

Presenter:
Dr. Preven. Naidoo.
South African Airways
Satellite photos clearly show active meso-scale convective system
(MCS) across the flight path, which developed rapidly
around 2300-0100 UTC.

After all, AF447 had three highly trained


pilots flying for one of the most prestigious
fleets in the world. If they could fly a
perfectly good plane into the ocean, then
what airline could plausibly say,

"Our pilots would never do that"?


Defining LOC-I

Jet Upset may result in the Loss of Control Inflight


Defining LOC-I
Research shows that LOC-I is primarily the result of pilot error.

Loss of control is an unintended deviation of an aircraft from the intended flight path. This
deviation or loss of control from the intended flight path manifests itself within three basic
realms of flight:

1. Stall (coffin-corner?)
2. Spin
3. Overbanked flight
The STARTLE factor
Training for LOCI

"Basic manual and cognitive flying skills tend to decline because of lack of practice, and thus feel
for the aircraft can deteriorate." - EASA
ICATEE

In 2009, the Royal Aeronautical Society created ICATEE, the International Committee for
Aviation Training in Extended Envelopes
ICATEE is developing a manual of upset prevention and recovery training for ICAO.

Awareness Recognition and Avoidance Recovery


SUPRA
Simulation of Upset Recovery in Aviation

Desdemona
Training at South African Airways
Training in stall recovery at varying altitudes

PRACTICE at flying in alternate and direct control law as well as normal law close to the edges
of the flight envelope (for instance in Airbus types)

Flying exercises that test whether pilots understand aerodynamics in practice as well as in
theory
More surprise events in recurrent training scenarios to prepare pilots - individually and as a
crew - to react calmly to the unexpected.
Thank you for the opportunity and your time.
