🚨 PICTURE THIS: You’re joining the circuit at 1,000' AGL / 120 KTS...Sudden, violent turbulence completely flips your aircraft onto its back into a 45-degree nose-down attitude. Watch the short video clip carefully, then ask yourself: How many seconds before you could react to the upset? When you do react, what is your first control input? Do you know all the recovery steps required to return to S&L flight with minimum height loss? Standard training covers the basics, but true safety means knowing how to manage your aircraft at the absolute edge of its flight envelope. At Sunshine Coast Aerobatics Academy (SCAA), we specialise in:✅ UPRT (Upset Prevention & Recovery Training)✅ SPRT (Spin Prevention & Recovery Training)Why choose SCAA? - 100% Realistic In-Aircraft Scenario Based Training: No simulators. Experience real, dynamic upset scenarios safely in our side-by-side seating, fully aerobatic-rated aircraft. Specialised Instruction - we focus exclusively on UPRT, SPRT and Aerobatics training - "that's all we do - every lesson!"Expert Instruction: Train with some of Australia's most experienced UPRT and aerobatics instructors. Build Total Confidence: Reduce the "startle effect," manage physical shock, and sharpen low-speed / high angle-of-attack handling. Whether you fly RA-Aus or GA, our intensive courses out of Gympie (Kybong) Airfield will make you a safer, more accomplished pilot. Don't wait for a LOC-I emergency to find out where your limits are. ❌👇! 📞 Call us, 💬 Message us directly on Facebook, 🌐 Learn more: sunshinecoastaerobatics.com.au/shop-here/Upset-Attitude-Recovery-&-Spinning-Courses-p406142466 ...
