Description:

Upset recovery training is an essential part of pilot training. This unit teaches the student recovery techniques should heavy turbulence put an aircraft into an unusual attitude. Upset recovery may be more challenging at night time if there is no outside visual horizon for a pilot to use as a reference to aid in the recovery process. Night circuits are included in this unit as the period immediately after take off, when a pilot transitions from looking outside during the take-off run to scanning instruments during the climb can lead to somatogravic illusion.

 

Note: To enrol in this unit students must have already completed or be enrolled full time in the ECU Bachelor of Aviation course.
