Abstract
The effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) and motion in Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) for general aviation pilots was investigated.   Preliminary findings suggest that VR in combination with motion improved the pilot’s ability to recognise and attempt upset recovery in selected upsets and has the potential to enhance aviation safety.
