What type of ground for a High Perf endorsement?

Hey all,

Just curious what some of you cover when giving a high performance endorsement. I'm starting to do some checkouts in our normally aspirated 182s, and would like to be a little more standardized and thorough with that I cover. At a minimum, I currently cover:

-Constant speed prop operation.
-Application/reduction of power.
-Review effects of P-factor and torque.
-Review aircraft POH performance section.

Anything else you'd recommend? Maybe review hypoxia and oxygen requirements? Thanks!

I just cover all of the systems on that particular aircraft, and like you said, high altitude stuff.
 
generally speaking with a hp engine, the plane is going to be travelling faster than what they are used to, so sometimes I will address thinking ahead further 1.5 nm/min vs. 2-2.5 nm/ min
 
Maybe take him to the Gym and work out the right leg. Planning ahead, shock cooling, systems, possibly oxygen requirements all sound like a good start.
 
you guys have all bases basically covered..for sure the poh, to include system, performance, limitations, normal and emergency procedures for sure..and weight and balance (basically, the whole poh). review oxygen requirements/aeromedical factors related to vision/night flying, particularly if aircraft is equipped with supplemental oxygen. if the pilot is not instrument rated, but flies x-country, perhaps check to see if they're familiar with wac charts for higher speeds as well.
