Next question:
Did you ever perform PIC duties in an airplane that requires a type rating without an HP endorsement?
 
Well, HP refers to piston aircraft so unless you have a type in a piston a/c then no HP endorsement is needed. Just like not needing a complex to fly a jjjjjjjjjjjjeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettth (I said that in my best caneman voice).

Say what? I don't see anywhere in 61.31(f) that specifies piston only aircraft.

(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.

No, really I'm asking. I had always read it as "an engine of more than 200 horsepower" but there could be a legal interpretation out there I'm not aware of.

...is there?:dunno:

I've definitely been wrong before...just ask my wife.

Well if we're talking about SHP then we really don't know what the horsepower of the engine is, do we?

Which is why I was asking the questions. Some people have some definitive opinions on the matter.
 
You dont need the hp endorsement, piston, turbine, or otherwise if you have a type rating. That type rating means you took a checkride in that airplane, and proved your capability to operate it. You are legally allowed to fly that airplane now, regardless if whether you've had an hp endorsement. Same goes for complex, high altitude, etc. That's why regional airlines don't have to give out high altitude endorsements for every newhire.
