The FLYCO upset recovery course covers definitions related to upset recovery such as upset
conditions and turbulence including wind shear, mountain wave and clear air turbulence (CAT).
The course also covers factors such as icing, angle of attack camber, wing dihedral, energy state
and flight path. flight management systems and auto-flight systems related to stability, stall pitch roll
and yaw. warnings are also presented in these lessons.

The causes of of upset conditions regarding environmentally induced, system anomaly, pilot induced,
and any combination of factors is addressed in a section of the course. The upset recover course then
looks more closely at the aerodynamic factors that can invoke upset conditions such as load,
angle of attack and stall, lateral and directional factors, wing dihedral, pilot commanded side-slip.

The recovery section of the course addresses stall, and nose high/low, wings level/banked procedures
for recovery. then a summary of the course is presented for review.

This course meets all state authority regulations. FLYCO courses are constantly monitored and
updated when major changes in authority documentation is released.
