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.

Bertie

heheheehejehehehejh

idjiot.


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

And I though Kennie as thick.

That used to be "Greater than 200" which eliminated the Arrow from
high performance. Did they change that?

I have no idea. I haven't done any kind of instruction where that came into
play for years. The only thing I've taught in lately fits fairly nicely
into the complex and in excess of 200 HP niche. Having said that, I will be
doing it again soon so I better get anew copy of 61 and 91!

Oh come on don't be foolish. When I sign someone off for the
commerical checkride I sign the complex endorsement; yes it "comes
with it"; I don't do any additional dual. I'm not sure if you were
trying to make a point or just be silly.
