Default tailwheel endorsement

Still the student pilot must have a solo endorsement for
each make and model on the student pilot certificate and a
90 day solo endorsement in the logbook to be qualified to
take the practical test.

| How would the student fly a nose dragger, that he had
never been signed off in? It is my understanding that a
student must be signed off in every different model of
plane.

| One scenario - the student is the daugher of a CFI who
owns a 152 and
| she has flown it right seat since she was twelve (with the
father in the
| plane of course!) None of this time was logged but the
student is
| competent. The daughter wants to learn to fly, but "not
from daddy" and
| falls in love with a blue cub on the field. The
instructor's cute too.
|
| She takes lessons, gets all the way to the checkout, and
the cub moves
| on. The cub owner is a friend of dad and knows how the
daughter flies
| the 152 (in fact, she has flown them both in a 172) quite
competently.
|
| So, the instructor signs her off for the test and the FAA
examiner takes
| her for the checkride, which she passes.
