Aviation Performance Solution (APS, Booth N4630) added a SIAI-Marchetti S211 sweptwing jet to its fleet of upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) platforms for use in loss of control in-flight training (LOC-I). APS notes that effective implementation of UPRT reduces the risk of LOC-I.

The S211 joins APS’s fleet, which includes various business jet and transport category simulators, Extra 300Ls, Slingsbys and an A4 Skyhawk used for UPRT instruction. The S211 has been retrofitted with front and rear Garmin avionics, multi-axis autopilot, digital and selectable angle-of-attack integration, fully hooded jet upset instrument recovery, HD audio/video recording, in-flight selectable control feel options and other UPRT-focused training features.

APS is an IS-BAO-registered company and is based at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Arizona. It is the exclusive provider of UPRT programs for both CAE and Bombardier Leading Edge safety programs.
