I am looking at a document in my hands which is completely contrary to this. A letter signed by the CAA enclosing a certificate confirming that an ATO who I completed UPRT with are fully approved for A-UPRT and UPRT instructor course.
I would therefore highly doubt that the CAA know their @rse from their elbow as usual I'm afraid. It was dated 23 December therefore I would very much imagine other ATOs are receiving, or have received, their certificates and confirmation already over the past few weeks.
EDIT: I should add that this has been accepted by a TRTO I am about to undertake first type rating with, who are happy with this approval.
