is an endorsement for High Performance, without reference to certain FAR
paragraph a valid endorsement? There are a variety of different endorsements, two of which you seem concerned: FAR61.31(e), Complex, defined as Retractable Gear, Flaps and Controllable Pitch Propeller (example, Piper Arrow 200HP, Beech Sundowner 200HP, retractable Cessna Skylane 235HP (also requires High Performance)) or a Seaplane without the retractable gear but has controllable pitch prop and flaps FAR61.31(f), High Performance, Engine with MORE THAN 200HP (example, Beech Bonanza 285HP, Fixed Gear Skylane 235HP) all of which normally have retract gear, prop and flaps Also there is: FAR61.31(g), Pressurized Aircraft at High Altitudes FAR61.31(i), Tail Wheel aircraft FAR61.31(j), Glider, for different launch methods BT "FryGuy" wrote in message 1... I have a couple of questions that are unclear to me regarding being a snip 2) What are the requirements for complex and high performance aircraft? I thought that an endorsement was required for planes with retractable gear and a adjustable prop and another for planes with a greater than 200 horsepower engine. In my log book I see an endorsement line for the HP (there isn't a FAR reference though) but not for the complex. I looked up "complex" in the FAR and could not find anything regarding this. 3) Ok, now the combination of the two. Lets say I do need an endorsment for the complex/HP aircraft. Can I log time as the safety pilot in this plane if I haven't yet gotten the endorsment for complex/HP? 91.109.b.2 says the safety pilot just needs to be a private pilot with the appropriate category and class ratings. |
