APS and Flying Company Make Advanced Upset Prevention Training Visible to Operators at Point of Hire

USA – Flying Company, a US-based business aviation pilot hiring platform, has integrated verified Upset Prevention and Recovery Training credentials from Aviation Performance Solutions directly into pilot profiles, making advanced UPRT completion immediately visible and verifiable within the operator hiring workflow.

• Flying Company has connected its pilot profile system with Aviation Performance Solutions' (APS) certification infrastructure, enabling pilots who have completed APS UPRT programmes to link their certifier URL directly to their profile, giving operators real-time, verifiable access to that credential at the point of hiring.
• The integration is positioned as a response to a recognised limitation in conventional pilot hiring signals: total flight time, type ratings, and currency reflect experience and qualification, but do not capture a pilot's preparedness for abnormal, high-stress, or unexpected flight scenarios.
• Advanced UPRT credentials are presented by both organisations as a signal of intentional safety investment, reflecting structured exposure to upset scenarios, energy management training, and recovery techniques grounded in aerodynamic research and operational validation.
• Loss of Control In-flight remains one of the leading causes of fatal aviation accidents globally across all sectors, affecting piston single, business jet, and transport-category operations.
• The integration forms part of Flying Company's broader pilot profiling strategy, which the platform describes as building a structured understanding of the "Whole Pilot" — encompassing not only regulatory compliance and aircraft experience, but training choices that indicate professionalism and safety mindset.
• APS delivers UPRT through a tiered framework — the Every Pilot in Control UPRT Mastery Program — through which pilots achieve recognised levels of expertise from Bronze to Platinum, integrating on-aircraft training, advanced simulation, and virtual reality components.
• APS delivers UPRT to thousands pilots annually and has operated for over 25 years, serving airlines, corporate flight departments, government, and military operators.

Statements

• "This UPRT visibility is about better matches on both sides...Pilots with advanced UPRT are often seeking organizations that value skill, discipline, and safety, and Flying Company makes those connections easier to make," said Paul 'BJ' Ransbury, CEO of Aviation Performance Solutions.
