FlightSafety's G550 Simulator Models Real Upset Behavior
Flight sim upset recovery training

FlightSafety conducts its upset prevention and recovery training program in a Gulfstream G550 simulator.
During the past 30 years, hundreds of people have died in accidents when pilots lost control of the airplane. The causes of these accidents vary, but many of them might have been prevented or ameliorated had the pilots received upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) and understood exactly how to apply the training.

FlightSafety's new UPRT course offers training that can help pilots deal with loss of control, the accident category with the greatest number of fatalities in business and commercial aviation and also one of the NTSB's "most wanted" safety improvements. The FlightSafety UPRT program is conducted in a Gulfstream G550 simulator, the first qualified by the FAA with an aerodynamic model that can replicate out-of-the-normal envelope maneuvers.

I was the fourth non-FlightSafety pilot to attend the company's G550 UPRT class, which was taught by Dann Runik, FlightSafety executive director of advanced training programs. Runik was careful to point out that this course is designed specifically for Gulfstream pilots and isn't necessarily transferrable to other airplane types. The exercises we practiced replicated many of the notorious loss-of-control accidents of the past 30 years, none of which occurred in Gulfstream jets.
