High performance endorsement in DFW

[KSCessnaDriver]

That's what I was getting at also with no response. And my question is, can you give a HP endorsement in a plane that was not HP when it was certificated?

Can you give a tailwheel endorsement in an airplane that wasn't a tailwheel when it was certificated?

Was that supposed to answer my question?

In a roundabout way, yes. I'd imagine so long as you can prove the airplane meets the requirements, you can give the endorsement.

I would like to see a source for that before I gave or recieved an endorsement rather than going on an assumption..

61.31(f):
Additional training required for operating high-performance airplanes. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (f)(2) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of a high-performance airplane (an airplane with an engine of more than 200 horsepower), unless the person has—
(i) Received and logged ground and flight training from an authorized instructor in a high-performance airplane, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a high-performance airplane, and has been found proficient in the operation and systems of the airplane; and
(ii) Received a one-time endorsement in the pilot's logbook from an authorized instructor who certifies the person is proficient to operate a high-performance airplane.
(2) The training and endorsement required by paragraph (f)(1) of this section is not required if the person has logged flight time as pilot in command of a high-performance airplane, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a high-performance airplane prior to August 4, 1997.

Is there anything in that which specifically states the airplane had to be certificated with more than 200 horsepower? What about if you do the high performance endorsement in an experimental, it doesn't have a type certificate?

Yeah I checked at Monarch, they did have a 182, but it was 275 an hour. That seemed a little steep to me for a 182, but, I haven't been able to find any other schools in the area to compare prices.

Unfortunately, that is the name of the game.

The FAR's in most cases only tell you enough to get yourself in trouble. That is why there are four billion LOI's out there to explain the grey..

Sorry for being late on this one, but MarcAir out at 52F has a T182T for 169 per hour. Just a heads up
