have a complex endorsement.
yes, part of the Commercial PTS does require a complex
aircraft.. but the endorsement does not come with the check
ride

IIRC the horsepower requirement for the commercial is 180 while
the watershed for high performance horsepower is 200. A pilot
needs to be signed off for each aspect of the high performance
reg. We used to have to sign guys off for Stearmans, for
example, but only for the HP restriction.

There's no specific horsepower requirement for the Commercial --
only 10 hours dual in a complex (retractable, flaps, and
constant speed prop) airplane. The PTS requires a complex for a
portion of the test as well.

The "High Performance" endorsement is not required for the
Commercial.

Yeah, that's it. What I was thinking is you coul ddo your
commercial in something like a 180 Arrow and still not be
qualified to fly a 182

Bertie

Right -- or a 180 a side twin and still not require a "high
performance" endorsement.

OK, that's a twist I never heard before.

Good lord. You really think you're making headway here, don't you?

And I though Kennie as thick.
