You won't find some of this information anywhere else. It puts a practical twist on the information on UPRT published by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and industry experts. Karl highlights many of the mistakes his clients have made over the years, as well as important human factors effecting prevention of upsets and safe recovery from them. This book will help any pilot get the most from upset prevention and recovery training. Karl highly recommends at least some on-aircraft UPRT and explains why in this book. The All-Attitude Aviator has valuable practical knowledge for aviation industry safety, and human factors experts as well.
