Tailwheel training is one of the most valuable investments a pilot can make. Even in an aviation world dominated by tricycle (nosewheel) aircraft, mastering tailwheel flying sharpens your core skills and improves safety in every type of aircraft.

Aerobatic flying isn’t just for airshows or thrill-seekers, it’s a discipline and a science that every pilot can benefit from. From mastering aircraft control to improving reaction times, professional aerobatic training enhances pilot safety, confidence, and overall performance in the cockpit.

At UPRT Australia, we believe formation flying is one of the most valuable and rewarding disciplines in aviation. While many associate it with aerobatic teams or military displays, the reality is that formation flying training offers practical safety, confidence, and precision benefits for pilots of all backgrounds.

From 2013 - 2022 there were 482 loss of control in flight incidents. That is almost one a week! LOC-I still remains a pilot's biggest threat. See the link below where our Director Shane Tobin discusses safety in GA with Randy Brooks and Rich Stowell at the APS Safety Summit.

“Chilling”, “terrifying”, “disturbing”, “scary”.

These are some words used to describe the final moments of flight deck voice recordings of aircraft lost to Loss of Control-Inflight (LOC-I) accidents. Experienced, veteran pilots- highly trained and skilled- reduced in mere seconds to the capabilities of a sub-10- hour student.
