APS Declares War on Loss of Control In-flight

APS has launched War on LOC-I, a 12-week intelligence series addressing Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I)—the leading cause of fatal aviation accidents.

MESA, AZ, UNITED STATES, May 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Aviation Performance Solutions (APS), a globally recognized leader in the delivery of Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT), today announced a sustained industry initiative to support flight department decision-makers and professional jet pilots in defeating Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), aviation’s leading cause of fatal accidents.

This effort—The War on LOC-I—is not a campaign. It is a commitment to execution.

Despite decades of strong global guidance, LOC-I continues to dominate fatal accident categories. The gap is no longer awareness, it is targeted prevention and reliable pilot performance under pressure.

To address this, APS CEO Paul ‘BJ’ Ransbury will lead a 12-week intelligence series, delivered directly through his professional channels. The series is designed for professional pilots and aviation leaders responsible for operational safety and training decisions.

By the conclusion of the series, participants will have a practical framework to distinguish proven-effective UPRT from compliance-based training, ensuring training decisions translate into measurable risk reduction.

“LOC-I is aviation’s leading killer, but it’s preventable,” said Ransbury. “This 12-week series delivers insights and decision tools that drive transformational safety outcomes. Reducing LOC-I below other fatal categories is achievable—and already being demonstrated.”

Independent results support this approach. Integrated UPRT programs aligned with APS methodologies have shown a 50 percent reduction in LOC-I precursor events at Delta Air Lines and a 400 percent increase in upset recovery competencies at the United Aviate Academy.
