Aviation Performance Solutions Introduces Dedicated PC-12 and PC-24 UPRT

Arizona, USA – Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) provider Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) has launched a Pilatus Family UPRT Program for PC-12 and PC-24 pilots, combining academic, on-aircraft, simulation, jet and virtual-reality training within an aircraft-family-specific pathway. The launch extends APS’s growing portfolio of business aviation UPRT programs into both single-engine turboprop and light-jet operations.

• Pilatus UPRT programs are currently being offered from US$4,795, with APS stating that introductory rates apply to a limited number of training slots through October 30, 2026. Preferred crew pricing is also available.
• The program covers both the Pilatus PC-12 and PC-24 and is designed around their differing operating environments, including single-pilot PC-12 operations into remote and short-field destinations and high-altitude PC-24 jet operations.
• APS said the training architecture combines academics, all-attitude on-aircraft instruction, advanced simulation, jet UPRT and type-specific virtual reality. Customers can select simulator-only training or a more comprehensive pathway incorporating on-aircraft training.
• The program is targeted at individual pilots, owner-pilots and flight departments. APS said it builds on more than a decade of involvement with the Pilatus pilot community, including work with the Pilatus Owners and Pilots Association.
• AFM previously reported that APS introduced aircraft-family UPRT programs for Gulfstream and Dassault pilots during 2026, alongside a Jet Transition Program using the SIAI-Marchetti S-211. The Pilatus launch further expands the provider’s aircraft-family training portfolio.
• APS’s Mesa headquarters at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport integrates classroom, simulation, virtual reality and flight training. Its current official fleet information lists six Extra 300L aircraft and three SIAI-Marchetti S-211 jets for UPRT delivery.

Statements

“Pilatus aircraft give pilots tremendous capability and operational flexibility, requiring training that reflects the way these aircraft are actually flown,” said Paul “BJ” Ransbury, CEO of Aviation Performance Solutions.
