Key Takeaways:

  • Flight Research has introduced a new course to educate pilots on how icing conditions affect aircraft performance and how to react to inadvertent icing encounters.
  • The program uniquely utilizes actual aircraft, including a Cirrus SR22 flown with proprietary ice structure simulations, to practically demonstrate performance degradation caused by disturbed airflow.
  • Comprising three hours of ground instruction and two one-hour flights, the $4,999 course meets FAA, EASA, and ICAO standards for Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT).
