The document you are looking for is on the PFA website under "Engineering", then "Techincal Leaflets". Don't ask me why.

You do not need to be a PFA member to access this information.

LEARNING TO FLY IN A PFA AIRCRAFT
Learning to fly in a PFA aircraft is quite legal, but the following conditions apply.
1. An owner may receive remunerated (or un-remunerated) flying instruction in his own
PFA aircraft provided he is a ‘sole’ owner and not part of a group ownership.
(Members of the owner’s immediate family would also be acceptable).
2. The solo part of the PPL syllabus can be carried out in a single seat PFA aircraft as long as the aircraft is similar to that being used for dual instruction, is suitably equipped, and the instructor is satisfied that it is compatible with accepted flying instructional practices.
3. ‘Simulated’ instrument training, as required by the PPL syllabus, is acceptable in a PFA aircraft provided it is suitably equipped.
4. Examination, as required by the PPL syllabus, may be carried out in a PFA aircraft, but only if un-remunerated.
5. All flying training must be conducted from a licensed airfield.
6. All flying instruction has to be at the discretion of, and under the control of the flying instructor who is legally responsible for the student pilot when that student is flying.
There is a mandatory requirement for certain types of remunerated flying instruction to be given and received by members of the same flying club, depending largely on the qualifications held by the instructor. Broadly this applies to PPL and restricted BCPL instructors but not to holders of non-restricted BCPLs, CPLs and ATPLs who also hold a (qualified) flying instructor rating and have a Type Rating for the aircraft being used for
the instruction. Assistant flying instructors can only work under the supervision of the holder of a flying instructor rating.
Further information is available from the CAA’s Flight Crew Licensing Department at Gatwick, Telephone 01293 573700.
Additionally, PFA Members may contact PFA Engineering for advice.
Alternatively, if you are a PFA member, contact the PFA Pilot Coaching Scheme for advice.
