Hi-performance endorsment with a experimental engine
FAA requires hi-performance endorsment for 200+ engines.
Is that requirement only for certified planes? One CFI indicated that it is not required for experimentals. |

There is an FAR somewhere that says, in effect, you don't need the appropriate ratings to be legal -- legal that is, not safe. However, frequently the operating limitations for that individual aircraft state differently. Ed Wischmeyer |

The hi-performance endorsement is for the pilot, not the aircraft.
Experimental/non-experimental is not a factor. Also it is for greater than 200 hp, so a 200 hp does not require it. "Paul Lee" wrote in message om...

"x" wrote in message news:RI17b.395481$uu5.73501@sccrnsc04... The hi-performance endorsement is for the pilot, not the aircraft. Experimental/non-experimental is not a factor. 61.31 which talks about requirements for category, class, and type ratings as well as the tailwheel, high performance, complex, and high altitude training requirements, has a clause that exempts experimentals from the "ratings limitations." |

Tailwheel and/or high perf endorsements may not be required by part 61, but it may (emphasize MAY) be required by your operating limitations. I gather you mean as specified by the FAA inspector on your airworthiness certificate. Well again, I wasn't *suggesting* anyone foregoes tailwheel/high perf training. In my book, this is definitely listed under Trivia Eric |

Dave 'read and heed' Hyde ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Quite true. But, I've always wondered why Part 61 is not required to stand on its own and be the final governing authority. Kinda sux that a single high minded DAR can usurp the authority and intent of a huge deliberate bureaucracy. One should be free to kill oneself. Is this not the American way? g Barnyard BOb -- |

No.. he meant the "operating limitations" which is the bible for each individual experimental homebuilt aircraft. This is not spelled out on the airworthiness certificate. Jerry POH right? As the builder, don't you write that yourself? Eric |

Nope. Operating limitations are not the POH. Barnyard BOb -- Alright, I said as "part of airworthiness certificate", which is wrong. But I also said, as "specified by inspector", which is right, n'est ce pas? Eric |
