Preparing for Your Training
Should your program involve a flight in the SIAI-S211 Marchetti Jet, here is what you need to bring:

To effectively perform in-flight recovery, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the following key phrases:
- "Push"
- "Roll"
- "Power"
- "Stabilize"
- "Pitch and power set. Airspeed stable. Positive rate (or) Level (0r) Stable Descent."
- "Recovery complete."
We strongly suggest practicing these phrases aloud 50 times as this will greatly aid in learning the APS All-Attitude Upset Recovery Strategy.
Very Important
While having the words memorized is a critical first step, this words require comprehensive practical training facilitate by APS UPRT experts. The 'words' are NOT the APS All-Attitude Upset Recovery Strategy WITHOUT having dedicated multi-day facilitate training by our team. Lots of schools copy APS and our words. What they are missing are the portion size, context, application, relevance, exceptions, negative-training elimination, transferability, and integrated applications across events and conditions.
Arrival Day & Check-in Times
Your specific check-in times will be communicated by the APS training coordination team. Expect to dedicate approximately 8 hours per day to your training, except for the final day, which could be a little shorter. As unforeseen circumstances such as weather conditions may affect the training end time, we suggest allowing a buffer when scheduling your return flight.
Attire & Provisions
Dress casually and according to the weather. Remember to always wear closed-toe shoes and carry your sunglasses. It's advisable to hydrate well, eat light, and rest adequately before your arrival. Don't forget to bring along snacks for between-flight munching.
