The SOlution

APS leads the charge with Every Pilot In Control Solutions Standard™ (EPIC-S2™), a fully integrated UPRT framework that combines academics, simulation, and on-aircraft training. It’s designed not to meet the minimum—but to deliver transformational, lasting impact. The regulatory baseline is strong—ICAO Doc 10011, and FAA ACs 120-111, 120-109A, and 120-123 provide sound guidance (FAA, 2015a; FAA, 2017; FAA, 2020; ICAO, 2014). But the difference lies in the execution. That’s where transformation happens.

The movement

This is a collaborative initiative. Whether you're a UPRT provider, operator, regulator, or insurer, your role is essential. Real change requires alignment. The standards exist. The time is now. If you’re a UPRT provider, adopt fully integrated training that is aligned with the Every Pilot In Control Solutions Standard (EPIC-S2) wherever possible. If you’re an operator, demand UPRT solutions that reflect the combined power of Every Pilot In Control Solutions Standard (EPIC-S2) and Every Pilot In Control Personalized Protocols (EPIC-PRO) to produce real-world pilot resilience. Together, we can overthrow LOC-I as aviation’s dominant fatal threat.
