UPRT
Now that UPRT is mandatory for the issue of a type rating, are modular students expected to do the course (and self-fund it) prior to a type rating or will it be included in an airline funded/sponsored/bonded type rating?

Surprised there’s very little info on here about the UPRT requirements. I can’t seem to find any clear info online either. Does anyone know if this means yet more cash student pilots will have to fork out come April this year?

Indeed, the full document is compounded by a factor of 10!
We have been sitting and patiently awaiting EASA to publish the Acceptable Means of Compliance for UPRT-A for 2 years now, post Opinion dated July 2017, it is very frustrating. Although we deliver UPRT-A courses to our MCC customers and corporate contracts it would be really nice if the regulator took a stance on this and allowed all prospective customers to understand if they will be mandatorily required to obtain UPRT-A prior to (now) December 2019 - we think!
