Clearly the aircraft will need to be approved for aerobatics for the UPRT course.
Certification limits will therefore not be exceeded when things go wrong which invariably will occur.
Competency at Spinning by the Instructor will be needed?
When the UK CAA approved a “Commerical flying instructor” under CAP509 (pre JAR/EASA) for CPL/IR integrated courses, aerobatics competency was a requirement.
Depending upon the type of aircraft, the first rotation may well be regarded as ‘incipient stage’.
Immediate recovery/taking control would apply to multi engine training when an incorrect input when simulating asymmetric flight such as EFATO.
