It would be great if the CAA did a financial incentive for UPRT. It is mandatory training for new wannabe airline cadets.Wonder if a grant for this life saving training would be more popular than the EC grant?

Fair question: malcolmfrost correctly replied:

UPRT stands for UPset Recovery Training; it would really help the wider aviation community if Posters would explain acronyms that might be common parlance to them that are not common knowledge to others
UPRT came about slowly in the commercial world, but gained acceleration after the Colgan Buffalo crash (Wiki
here and NTSB Report
here)
I'm just as guilty for not explaining abbreviations and acronyms adequately, and I acknowledge that in our flying world, there are many of them!

Thanks for the acknowledgement, but after therapy I'm a little more relaxed about that now, Cub. I have a new bone to chew.
