A TRTO may only train licence holders, so it cannot train for a PPL. The original concept of a TRTO was to train for MP Type Ratings.

Type ratings for SPH can be conducted at a FTO however for some reason they became TRTOs meaning that they also have to be a Registered Facility if they want to train PPL students.

Perhaps the daftest thing is that a Registered Facility can train a PPL(H) on a R44, or a R22 but it has to be a TRTO to convert the pilot to the other Type once they are qualified!
