Its a holdover from the olden days when flaps weren't standard
equipment, as they are now. In the next few months/years the FAA is
supposed to redo part 61, and many believe they will change the
complex requirement to something more modern.


Old days as in the 1990's.


Well, the rules governing this sort of stuff were put in during the major
revamp in the 70s, and even then there were very few production aircraft
with no flaps.The Citabria ( and some of those had them) Pitts and Great
Lakes are the only three that come to mind..


I seem to remember the HP and complex endorsements coming of age in
the 90's. Before that I thought there was some sort of a hydrid
endorsement.
