The course includes recoveries from nose high and nose low upsets, spiral dives, stalls and incipient spins at extreme angles of pitch and bank and instructors are required to undergo a specific initial training course before conducting UPRT instruction, as well as recurrent training to maintain the qualification. There is also a strong implication in the Regulation that the training cannot be achieved in a normal category aeroplane.
As described this training absolutely should only be done in an aircraft certified in the aerobatic category with an instructor holding an aerobatic instructor rating.
