‘GM3 FCL.010 Definitions
UPSET PREVENTION AND RECOVERY TRAINING (UPRT) DEFINITIONS In the context of UPRT, the following abbreviations apply to the Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material to Part-FCL: ‘Advanced UPRT’ refers to the advanced UPRT course in accordance with point FCL.745.A. ‘Aeroplane upset’ refers to an undesired aircraft state characterised by unintentional divergences from parameters normally experienced during operations. An aeroplane upset may involve pitch and/or bank angle divergences as well as inappropriate airspeeds for the conditions. ‘Angle of Attack (AoA)’ refers to the angle between the oncoming air, or relative wind, and a defined reference line on the aeroplane or wing. ‘Approach-to-stall’ refers to flight conditions bordered by the stall warning and stall. ‘Basic UPRT’ refers to the UPRT elements and exercises integrated into training courses for the issue of a CPL, MPL or Phases 1 to 3 of the integrated ATP course. ‘Developed upset’ refers to a condition meeting the definition of an aeroplane upset.
‘Developing upset’ refers to any time the aeroplane begins to unintentionally diverge from the intended flight path or airspeed. ‘Energy state’ refers to how much of each kind of energy (kinetic, potential or chemical) the aeroplane has available at any given time. ‘First indication of a stall’ refers to the initial aural, tactile or visual sign of a stall event which can be either naturally or synthetically induced. ‘Flight crew resilience’ refers to the ability of a flight crew member to recognise, absorb and adapt to disruptions. ‘Fidelity level’ refers to the level of realism assigned to each of the defined FSTD features. ‘Flight path’ refers to the trajectory or path of the aeroplane travelling through the air over a given space of time. ‘Flight path management’ refers to active manipulation, using either the aeroplane’s automation or manual handling, to command the aeroplane’s flight controls in order to direct the aeroplane along a desired trajectory. ‘FSTD validation envelope’ refers to the envelope consisting of the following three subdivisions: (a) Flight test validated region This is the region of the flight envelope which has been validated with flight test data, typically by comparing the performance of the FSTD against the flight test data through tests incorporated in the qualification test guide (QTG) and other flight test data utilised to further extend the model beyond the minimum requirements. Within this region, there is high confidence that the simulator responds similarly to the aircraft. Note that this region is not strictly limited to what has been tested in the QTG; as long as the aerodynamics mathematical model has been conformed to the flight test results, that portion of the mathematical model can be considered to be within the flight test validated region. (b) Wind tunnel and/or analytical region This is the region of the flight envelope for which the FSTD has not been compared to flight test data, but for which there has been wind tunnel testing or the use of other reliable predictive methods (typically by the aircraft manufacturer) to define the aerodynamic model. Any extensions to the aerodynamic model that have been evaluated in accordance with the definition of an exemplar stall model (as described in the stall manoeuvre evaluation section) must be clearly indicated. Within this region, there is moderate confidence that the simulator will respond similarly to the aircraft. (c) Extrapolated region This is the region extrapolated beyond the flight test validated and wind tunnel/analytical regions. The extrapolation may be a linear extrapolation, a holding of the last value before the extrapolation began, or some other set of values. Whether this extrapolated data is provided by the aircraft or simulator manufacturer, it is a ‘best guess’ only. Within this region, there is low confidence that the simulator will respond similarly to the aircraft. Brief excursions into this region may still retain a moderate confidence level in FSTD fidelity; however, the instructor should be aware that the FSTD’s response may deviate from that of the actual aircraft.
‘Load factor’ refers to the ratio of a specified load to the weight of the aeroplane, the former being expressed in terms of aerodynamic forces, propulsive forces or ground reactions. ‘Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I)’ refers to a categorisation of an accident or incident resulting from a deviation from the intended flight path. ‘Manoeuvre-based training’ refers to training that focuses on a single event or manoeuvre in isolation. ‘Negative training’ refers to training which unintentionally introduces incorrect information or invalid concepts, which could actually decrease rather than increase safety. ‘Negative transfer of training’ refers to the application (and ‘transfer’) of what was learned in a training environment (i.e. a classroom, an FSTD) to normal practice, i.e. it describes the degree to which what was learned in training is applied to actual, normal practices. In this context, negative transfer of training refers to the inappropriate generalisation of knowledge and skills to a situation or setting in normal practice that does not equal the training situation or setting. ‘Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)’ refers to the original equipment manufacturer of an aircraft or associated parts or equipment or of parts or equipment installed on the basis of a supplemental type certificate (STC). ‘Post-stall regime’ refers to flight conditions at an AoA greater than the critical AoA. ‘Scenario-based training’ refers to training that incorporates manoeuvres into real-world experiences to cultivate practical flying skills in an operational environment. ‘Stall’ refers to loss of lift caused by exceeding the aeroplane’s critical AoA. Note: A stalled condition can exist at any attitude and airspeed, and may be recognised by continuous stall warning activation accompanied by at least one of the following: (a) buffeting, which could be heavy at times; (b) lack of pitch authority and/or roll control; and (c) inability to arrest the descent rate. Note: It is possible that in certain conditions the stall warning may not be activated. ‘Stall event’ refers to an occurrence whereby the aeroplane experiences conditions associated with an approach-to-stall or a stall. ‘Stall (event) recovery procedure’ refers to the manufacturer-approved aeroplane-specific stall recovery procedures, such as those contained in the flight crew operations manual (FCOM). If an OEMapproved recovery procedure does not exist, the aeroplane-specific stall recovery procedure developed by the ATO, based on the stall recovery template, may be used. ‘Stall warning’ refers to a natural or synthetic indication provided when approaching a stall that may include one or more of the following indications: (a) aerodynamic buffeting (some aeroplanes will buffet more than others); (b) reduced roll stability and aileron effectiveness; (c) visual or aural cues and warnings; (d) reduced elevator (pitch) authority;
(e) inability to maintain altitude or arrest rate of descent; and (f) stick shaker activation (if installed). Note: A stall warning indicates an immediate need to reduce the AoA. ‘Startle’ refers to the initial, short-term, involuntary physiological and cognitive reactions to an unexpected event that commence the normal human stress response. ‘Stick pusher’ refers to any device that automatically applies a nose-down movement and pitch force to an aeroplane’s control columns to attempt to decrease the aeroplane’s AoA. Device activation may occur before or after aerodynamic stall, depending on the aeroplane type. Note: A stick pusher is not installed on all aeroplane types. ‘Stick shaker’ refers to a device that automatically vibrates the control column to warn the pilot of an approaching stall. Note: A stick shaker is not installed on all aeroplane types. ‘Stress (response)’ refers to the response to a threatening event that includes physiological, psychological and cognitive effects. These effects may range from positive to negative and can either enhance or decrease performance. ‘Surprise’ refers to the emotionally based recognition of a difference in what was expected and what is actual. ‘Train-to-proficiency’ refers to approved training designed to achieve end-state performance objectives, providing sufficient assurances that the trained individual is capable of consistently carrying out specific tasks safely and effectively. Note: In the context of this definition, ‘train-to-proficiency’ can be replaced by ‘training-toproficiency’. ‘Type-specific UPRT’ refers to UPRT elements and exercises integrated into training courses for the issue of a class or type rating pursuant to Part-FCL or during recurrent or refresher training for a specific aeroplane class or type. ‘Undesired aircraft state’ refers to flight-crew-induced aircraft position or speed deviation, misapplication of controls, or incorrect systems configuration, associated with a reduction in margins of safety. Note (1): Undesired states can be managed effectively, restoring margins of safety, or flight crew response(s) can induce an additional error, incident or accident. Note (2): All countermeasures are necessary flight crew actions. However, some countermeasures to threats, errors and undesired aircraft states that flight crew employ are built upon ‘hard’/systemicbased resources provided by the aviation system. ‘Unsafe situation’ refers to a situation which has led to an unacceptable reduction in safety margin. ‘Unusual attitude’ refers to an aircraft in flight intentionally exceeding the parameters normally experienced in line operations or training, as applicable. ‘Incipient spin’ refers to a transient flight condition in the post-stall regime where an initial, uncommanded roll in excess of 45° has resulted from yaw asymmetry during a stall and which, if recovery action is not taken, will lead rapidly to a developing spin. Prompt recovery during this
incipient spin stage will normally result in an overall heading change, from pre-stall conditions, of not more than 180°. ‘Developing spin’ refers to a flight condition in the post-stall regime where the aeroplane exhibits abnormal, but varying, rates of yaw and roll, together with changing pitch attitude, following an incipient spin but before the establishment of a developed spin. A developing spin follows an unrecovered incipient spin and will usually persist, in the absence of any recovery action, until a developed spin ensues. ‘Developed spin’ refers to a flight condition in the post-stall regime where the aeroplane has achieved approximately constant pitch attitude, yaw rate and roll rate on a descending flight path. In transition from a stall with significant, persistent yaw, with no recovery action, to attaining a developed spin, the aeroplane is likely to have rolled through at least 540°. ‘FSTD training envelope’ refers to the high and moderate confidence regions of the FSTD validation
envelope.’
GM4 FCL.010 Definitions
DEFINITIONS IN GM3 FCL.010 RELATED TO THE POST-STALL REGIME The definitions for ‘incipient spin’, developing spin’ and ‘developed spin’ in GM3 FCL.010 relate to the post-stall regime in aeroplanes that might typically be used in the context of the advanced UPRT in accordance with point FCL.745.A. The definitions are not intended for application to commercial air transport operations.’

‘AMC1 FCL.745.A Advanced UPRT course — aeroplanes
COURSE OBJECTIVE AND CONTENT COURSE OBJECTIVE (a) The objective of the course is for the pilot under training: (1) to understand how to cope with the physiological and psychological aspects of dynamic upsets in aeroplanes; and (2) to develop the necessary competence and resilience to be able to apply appropriate recovery techniques during upsets. (b) In order to meet the objective as specified in point (a), the course should: (1) emphasise physiological and psychological effects of an upset and develop strategies to mitigate those effects; (2) be delivered in a suitable training aircraft in order to expose trainees to conditions that cannot be replicated in an FSTD; and (3) employ recovery techniques that are suitable for the aircraft used for training in order to support the training objectives. In order to minimise the risk associated with potential negative transfer of training, the recovery techniques used during the course should be compatible with techniques typically used for transport category aeroplanes.
THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE (c) Theoretical knowledge instruction supports the objectives of the course and should include the following: (1) a review of basic aerodynamics typically applicable to aeroplane upsets in transport category aeroplanes, including case studies of incidents involving potential or actual upsets. (2) aerodynamics relevant to the aeroplane and exercises used in the practical training, including differences to aerodynamics as referred to in point (1); (3) possible physiological and psychological effects of an upset, including surprise and startle effect; (4) strategies to develop resilience and mitigate startle effect; and (5) memorising the appropriate procedures and techniques for upset recovery. FLIGHT INSTRUCTION (d) Flight instruction should include: (1) exercises to demonstrate: (i) the relationship between speed, attitude and AoA; (ii) the effect of g-load on aeroplane performance, including stall events at different attitudes and airspeeds; (iii) aerodynamic indications of a stall including buffeting, loss of control authority and inability to arrest a descent; (iv) the physiological effects of different g-loads between -1 and 2.5G; and (v) surprise and the startle effect; (2) training in techniques to recover from: (i) nose high at various bank angles; (ii) nose low at various bank angles; (iii) spiral dives; (iv) stall events; and (v) incipient spin; and (3) training to develop resilience and to employ strategies to mitigate the startle effect. COURSE COMPLETION (e) The course is considered to have been satisfactorily completed if the trainee is able to successfully: (1) apply strategies to mitigate psychological and physical effects; (2) recognise upsets; (3) apply correct recovery techniques from upset scenarios as specified in point (d)(2).
GM1 FCL.745.A Advanced UPRT course — aeroplanes
UPSET RECOVERY TRAINING EXERCISES GENERAL (a) The objective of this GM is to provide instructors with further guidance on the conduct of the various upset recovery exercises, which requires instructor performance beyond that experienced in normal operations. (b) Instructors should: (1) ensure that the risk mitigation measures determined by the ATO are strictly adhered to; (2) continuously assess the performance of the student to ensure that the training objectives of the upset recovery exercises are achieved; (3) understand that all-attitude/on-aeroplane upset recovery exercises serve primarily as resilience-builder. In other words, the training serves mainly human-factor training objectives and not only flying skills training; (4) understand the differences between all-attitude UPRT and aerobatics training; (5) have knowledge and understanding of how: (i) on-aeroplane and FSTD UPRT complement each other; and (ii) to ensure that negative transfer of training from small aeroplanes to heavier transport category aeroplanes is avoided. This may be achieved by observing UPRT in an FSTD, especially in a type-specific FFS; and (6) have knowledge and understanding of the upset prevention theoretical knowledge and flight instruction elements taught during the CPL(A) and ATPL(A) training courses to ensure continuity and consistency in delivering UPRT. Note: Instructors should be aware that the safety and potential human factor implications of poor upset recovery instructional technique or misleading
information are more significant than in any other areas of pilot training.
(c) In order to increase the applicant’s resilience related to the handling of aeroplane upsets, the advanced UPRT course needs to include the development of confidence and competence in recognising and recovering safely from upsets under the presence of the real human factors. Such confidence building is specifically addressed by: (i) successfully overcoming natural stress response (startle and surprise); and (ii) performing critically important counter-intuitive actions. Advanced UPRT therefore considers pitch attitudes, bank angles, AOA/airspeeds, sideslip and g-loads, none of which are normally experienced during routine operations. (d) Aeroplanes used in this course should be: (1) appropriately certified and operated by the ATO in a manner that takes into account the effects of repeated training manoeuvres on airframe fatigue life; and (2) provide sufficient safety margins to cater for student and instructor errors.
(e) This course complements UPRT in FSTDs by providing exposure to psycho-physiological conditions, which cannot be delivered by the motion systems of today’s qualified FSTDs. At completion of the course, the student should pilot to be able to: (1) recognise and confirm the upset-situation; (2) manage stress response; (3) apply the correct recovery strategy timely and effectively; (4) stay within the defined training envelope; (5) stabilise the flight path after recovery; and (6) become competent and confident in recovering from upsets.

GM1 FCL.915(e) General prerequisites and requirements for instructors
TRAINING ON SPIN AVOIDANCE AND SPIN RECOVERY (a) While the purpose of advanced UPRT course is to expose students to psychological and physiological effects, students’ responses and actions on controls may take any conceivable
variations, including some which can initiate spin entry or, most importantly, can highly aggravate the upset or loss-of-control they are supposed to recover from. (b) The advanced UPRT course in accordance with point FCL.745.A is not aerobatic training and only requires training for the incipient spin as well as uncoordinated side slipped stalls which are prone to initiating spins. Full spin training or the development of spin recovery proficiency is reserved for the training course in accordance with point FCL.915(e). (c) Even though most flights will go exactly as planned without an unanticipated departure from controlled flight, the instructor is responsible for the safety of flight despite anomalies or unexpected student inputs. (d) Even in a case where an aeroplane is not certified for intentional flat or aggravated or inverted spins, it does not mean that mishandled student recovery avoids placing the aeroplane in such a situation. Some student inputs will take the aeroplane uncontrolled far beyond the normal scope of the aerobatic rating as defined in point FCL.800. Those situations might also have the potential to draw the aeroplane outside its certified flight envelope (e.g. overloads, snap-roll departures above limit speed, spin or inverted spin when not certified for, flat spins, etc.). Most importantly, those resulting situations could startle the instructor. (e) For the reasons specified in point (d), instructors should: (1) be trained to the extent of proficiency on the specific type of aircraft they use to deliver the course; (2) have academic understanding of the factors assisting or deterring spin recoveries (upright and inverted spins), altitude requirements for safe recovery margins, and other operational considerations; (3) demonstrate that they have the ability to early recognise abnormal situations, timely take action, and safely recover from all the conditions that they may encounter in the delivery of training; and (4) demonstrate their ability to recover from all spin types, not only from spins entered intentionally, but from spins of unannounced direction of autorotation, and from all potential spin variations, including: (i) normal (non-aggravated) spins; (ii) flat spins; (iii) accelerated spins; and (iv) transition spins (incorrect recovery resulting in reversal of rotation). (f) In the context of points (d) and (e), it is recommended that candidates either hold an aerobatic rating for aeroplanes or have equivalent experience.
AMC1 FCL.915(e)(2) General prerequisites and requirements for instructors
CONTENT OF THE REFRESHER TRAINING FOR UPRT INSTRUCTIONAL PRIVILEGES (a) The objective of the refresher training is for the instructor to maintain or to re-obtain, as applicable, the level of competence required for instructing on a training course as per point FCL.745.A.
(b) The content of the refresher training should: (1) consist of elements from the initial UPRT instructor training course as per point FCL.915(e)(1)(ii); and (2) be determined by the ATO on a case-by-case basis, considering the needs of the individual instructor and taking into account the following factors: (i) the experience of the instructor; (ii) the amount of time elapsed since the instructor provided instruction on a training course as per point FCL.745.A for the last time; and (iii) the performance of the instructor during a simulated UPRT training session comprising exercises from the advanced UPRT course as per point FCL.745.A. During this simulated training session, another instructor qualified in accordance with point FCL.915(e) should play the role of the student on the advanced UPRT course. (c) Taking into account the factors listed in (b)(2) above, the ATO may also count the simulated training session as per point (b)(2)(iii) as refresher training without the need for further refresher training sessions, provided that the instructor demonstrates that he or she already possesses the required level of competence. (d) The completion of the refresher training should be entered in the logbook of the instructor and should be signed by the head of training of the ATO.
5. In AMC1 FCL.920, point (b) is amended as follows: ‘(b) The training and assessment of instructors should be made against the following performance standards: Competence Performance Knowledge Prepare resources (a) ensures adequate facilities; (a) understands (b) prepares briefing material; objectives; (b) available tools; (c) manages available tools;.

‘GM1 FCL.905.TRI(b) Privileges and conditions
INSTRUCTORS INSTRUCTING FOR THE ISSUE OF A TRI OR SFI CERTIFICATE
Training in an aeroplane is not a requirement for the issue of an SFI or a TRI certificate. In order to deliver effective UPRT, it is beneficial for the instructor to have first-hand experience of the critical psychological and physiological human factors, which might be present during recoveries from developed upsets. These human factors (effects of unusual acceleration, such as variations from normal 1G flight, the difficulty to perform counter-intuitive actions, and the management of the associated stress response) can only be experienced during training in an aeroplane because FFSs are not capable of reproducing sustained accelerations. Completion of the advanced UPRT course in accordance with FCL.745.A would provide such experience and is therefore useful for instructors providing instruction for the issue of a TRI or an SFI certificate.’;
7. In AMC1 FCL.930.TRI, after point (ab), a new point (ac) with a title is inserted follows: ‘UPSET PREVENTION AND RECOVERY TRAINING (UPRT) (ac) It is of paramount importance that instructors have the specific competence to deliver UPRT during the type rating course, including the ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the type-specific upset recovery procedures and recommendations developed by the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Therefore, during the TRI training course the student instructor should: (1) be able to apply the correct upset recovery techniques for the specific aeroplane type; (2) understand the importance of applying type-specific OEMs procedures for recovery manoeuvres; (3) be able to distinguish between the applicable SOPs and the OEMs recommendations (if available); (4) understand the capabilities and limitations of the FSTD used for UPRT; (5) be able to ensure that the training remains within the FSTD training envelope to avoid the risk of negative transfer of training; (6) understand and be able to use the (instructor operating station) IOS of the FSTD in the context of effective UPRT delivery; (7) understand and be able to use the FSTD instructor tools available for providing accurate feedback on pilot performance; (8) understand the importance of adhering to the FSTD UPRT scenarios that have been validated by the training programme developer; and (9) understand the missing critical human factor aspects due to the limitations of the FSTD and convey this to the student pilot(s) receiving the training.’

BASIC UPRT EXERCISES (a) GENERAL The training objective of the basic UPRT exercises is for the student to achieve competence in applying prevention and recovery techniques. In order to meet the training objectives, some UPRT exercises will involve operation at altitudes, speeds and g-loadings that are not required for other parts of the training course. When designing training courses, ATOs should ensure that the aircraft used for these exercises will allow the training objectives to be achieved while maintaining a margin of safety to aircraft limitations in accordance with the training envelope, as determined by the ATO (see GM1 ORA.ATO.125 point (f)). (b) UPRT WITH REFERENCE TO INSTRUMENTS Basic UPRT exercises completed by reference to instruments (i.e. in simulated instrument meteorological conditions (IMC)) should involve only moderate excursions from the speeds and attitudes used in normal instrument flight. Exercises conducted in IMC should not be planned to involve ‘unusual attitudes’. (c) INSTRUCTORS DELIVERING BASIC UPRT Instructors conducting basic UPRT training during the CPL or ATP course do not require any additional qualifications. It is the responsibility of the ATO to ensure that instructors are competent to deliver effective training on all parts of the course and also that they are competent to recover the aircraft in the event that a student erroneously conducts any UPRT exercise. (d) APPLICATION OF OEM RECOMMENDATIONS DURING DEVELOPING UPSETS Stall recovery training exercises as well as nose-high and nose-low prevention training exercises use the recovery strategies recommended by the OEMs contained in Tables 1, 2 and 3 below. Note: As OEM procedures always take precedence over the general strategies as recommended by the OEMs, ATOs should consult the OEM on whether any approved specific procedures are available prior to using the templates. Refer to revision 3 of the Airplane Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Aid (AUPRTA) for a detailed explanation and rationale of nose-high and nose-low recovery strategies as recommended by the OEMs.

Pilot Flying (PF)
Immediately do the following at first indication of a stall (aerodynamic buffeting, reduced roll stability and aileron effectiveness, visual or aural cues and warnings, reduced elevator (pitch) authority, inability to maintain altitude or arrest
rate of descent, stick shaker activation (if installed)) during any
flight phases except at lift-off.

4. BANK — WINGS LEVEL
5. POWER — ADJUST (as needed) (Thrust reduction for aeroplanes with underwing-mounted engines may be needed)
6. SPEEDBRAKES/SPOILERS — RETRACT

2. AUTOTHROTTLE — OFF (if applicable)
3. RECOVERY from stall (if required)

5. POWER and DRAG — ADJUST (if required)
6. RECOVER to level flight (Avoid the secondary stall due to premature recovery or excessive G-loading) ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE (e) Specific guidance on UPRT is available in the latest revision of ICAO Doc 10011 ‘Manual on Aeroplane Upset Prevention and Recovery Training’.

TYPE SPECIFIC UPRT AND GO-AROUND TRAINING IN FSTD (a) General (1) The upset recovery training exercises should be mainly manoeuvre-based but may include some scenario-based training elements. The manoeuvre-based training enables type rating applicants to apply their handling skills and recovery strategy whilst leveraging CRM principles to return the aeroplane from an upset condition to a stabilised flight path. (2) If training is conducted in an FSTD, it is important that applicants understand the limitations of the FSTD in replicating the physiological and psychological aspects of upset recovery exercises.
Note: In order to avoid negative training and negative transfer of training, the ATO should ensure
that the selected upset recovery exercises take into consideration the limitations of the FFS. (b) Stall event recovery in FSTD (Appendix 9, Section B(5) exercise 7.2.1; Section B(6) exercise 3.7.1) (1) It is of utmost importance that stall event recovery training takes into account the capabilities of the FFS used. To deliver stall event recovery training, the FFS should be qualified against the relevant UPRT elements of CS-FSTD Issue 2. Stall event recovery training should include training up to the stall (approach-to-stall). Post-stall training may be delivered provided the device has been qualified against the relevant optional elements of CS-FSTD Issue 2 and the operator demonstrates that negative training or negative transfer of training is avoided. A ‘stall event’ is defined as an occurrence whereby the aeroplane experiences one or more conditions associated with an approach-to-stall or a post stall. (2) Stall event recovery training should emphasise the requirement to reduce the AoA whilst accepting the resulting altitude loss. High-altitude stall event training should be included so that flight crew experience the aeroplane control response, the significant altitude loss during the recovery, and the increased time required to recover. The training should also emphasise the risk of triggering a secondary stall event during the recovery. (3) Recovery from a stall event should always be conducted in accordance with the stall event recovery procedures of the OEMs.
Note: If an OEM-approved recovery procedure does not exist, ATOs should develop and train the
aeroplane-specific stall recovery procedure based on the template in Table 1 below. Refer to Revision 3 of the Airplane Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Aid (AUPRTA) for a detailed explanation and rationale of the stall event recovery template as recommended by the OEMs.

Note: As the OEM procedures always take precedence over the recommendations, ATOs should consult the OEM on whether any approved type-specific recovery procedures are available prior to using the templates.

(2) WARNING: Excessive use of pitch trim or rudder may aggravate the upset situation or may result in high structural loads. (d) Go-around with all engines operating from various stages during an instrument approach (Appendix 9, Section B(5) exercise 7.3; B(6) exercise 4.1.) (1) The objective of the go-around exercises is to expose the student pilot to the physiological effects caused by a go-around. The instructor should ensure that student pilots understand the objective of the exercises and provide students with appropriate coping strategies, including TEM. Due consideration should be given to environmental conditions when evaluating the demonstration of task proficiency and related criteria. (2) A go-around may be commenced at any time during an approach, including before the aeroplane is in the landing configuration. Historically, most go-around training has been conducted when the aeroplane is in the landing configuration prior to commencing the go-around. Students must be prepared to adapt the go-around manoeuvre if the go-around is commenced prior to the point where the aeroplane is fully configured for landing. Situation awareness in relation to flap and gear configuration, aeroplane speed and missed approach altitude is important. (3) Unanticipated go-arounds may startle the students (e.g. unexpected ATC constraints, automation malfunction, adverse weather, etc.). Students may find themselves faced with a situation where they have to perform a large number of critical actions under a high workload (e.g. setting thrust, landing gear retraction, flight path management). The instructor should explain that there is also a possibility of disorientation during a go-around because of the somatogravic effect produced by Annex I to ED Decision 2019/0xx/R large longitudinal acceleration felt by the inner-ear as the aeroplane speed increases. This effect cannot be reproduced in an FSTD. (4) It is vital that the correct pitch attitude is selected and maintained, while the aeroplane is kept in trim as it accelerates (depending on the aeroplane type). On some aeroplane types with underslung engines the pitch response with all engines functioning may be amplified due to the relatively low gross weight towards the end of a flight and the high thrust available from modern aeroplane engines. It is particularly important that trim changes are anticipated on such aeroplanes. (5) ATOs should develop scenarios for go-around training containing different take-off and approach stall situations that also involve surprise and startle effects and include: (i) a go-around from the non-landing configuration; (ii) a go-around at low gross weight using maximum go-around thrust; (iii) a go-around from the outer marker or equivalent point; (iv) a go-around below 500 ft using, as applicable/permitted, reduced go-around thrust; (v) a go-around initiated above the published missed approach altitude; and (vi) a normal go-around from the landing configuration using reduced go-around thrust (if available / type-specific). (6) Training should also incorporate topics such as flight path management (manual and automatic), application of procedures, startle factors, communication, workload management and situation awareness. The objective of this training is to highlight: (i) differences to procedures when the aircraft is in the non-landing configuration; (ii) differences in handling characteristics at low gross weights and high thrust settings; (iii) the threat associated with go-arounds close to the published missed approach altitudes; (iv) startle and surprise associated with an unplanned go-around (ATC, blocked runway, etc.); (v) the importance of effective communication between flight crew; (vi) the requirement to be aware of the aircraft energy state during a go-around; and (vii) the importance of engaging the autopilot or flight director in the correct modes during a goaround. (7) Go-around training should not be limited to addressing the somatogravic effects caused by a goaround. Training should also cover topics such as flight path management (manual and automatic), application of procedures, startle factor, communication, workload management and situation awareness. Flight path management training should address: (i) the handling differences of a lighter than normal aircraft which may differ to handling experienced during take-off when the aircraft is much heavier; (ii) the different reaction of the aeroplane (pitch and vertical speed) comparing a go-around performed with reduced G/A thrust (if the function is available) and a go-around performed with full G/A thrust (a different weight). Annex I to ED Decision 2019/0xx/R (8) The importance of correct selection of TO/GA modes by the PF should also be emphasised (pushing TO/GA, selected the correct thrust lever detent, etc.) (9) The importance of the PM role in the go-around manoeuvre should also be highlighted. The PM usually has higher workload as they need to reconfigure the aircraft, engage FMA modes, communicate with ATC and monitor the actions of the PF. This excessive workload for the PM may lead him or her to prioritise actions to the detriment of monitoring activities. The phenomenon of attentional tunnelling may also need to be addressed. This happens when one pilot, or both, focus exclusively on a problem at the expense of general monitoring of the flight parameters.’
