high performance endorsement

Asked by: 4183 views FAA Regulations

I have a Type rating and ATP multi, comm single. Can I get a high performance endorsement from my time flying jets, or do I need to fly in a piston and with CFI to get the endorsement?

 

Thanks

    Off the top of my head, I would have said that your type rating was the equivalent of a high performance endorsement. However, when I read the following in AC 61-89E, it left me scratching my head. As I read, the short version is that even if you have a type rating, you cannot act as PIC of the aircraft without a high performance endorsement or a training record that was part of your type rating course for high performance.

    You can read it and draw your own conclusion:

    A pilot who has an AMEL certificate limited to center thrust or an ASEL certificate to receive a type rating in a multiengine aircraft must complete multiengine land training as part of the type rating course. Most airplanes that require type ratings have more than 200 horsepower (or the equivalent thrust), pressurization, and service ceilings and/or maximum operating altitudes above 25,000 feet mean sea level. Pilots would therefore be required to receive both a high-performance endorsement and a high-altitude endorsement in their logbook or training record before acting as pilot in command of those airplanes. If they do not have the endorsements when they begin training for the type rating, the training for those endorsements may be included in the type rating curriculum if the airplane for which the type rating is required fits the appropriate description. However, separate logbook or training record endorsements must be issued for the type rating, high-performance, and/or high-altitude training, as appropriate. If high-performance and high-altitude training is conducted in conjunction with type rating training, the high-performance and high-altitude training should include specific operational aspects of the airplane. For example, the high-altitude training recommended in AC 61-107, High-Altitude Operations, should include the airplane’s particular systems and procedures for operating at high altitudes (such as the pressurization system and the specific decompression and emergency descent procedures described in the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) or Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH)).
