What You Should Have Learned: High Performance and Complex Endorsements

Course Description

Part of moving up to more capable airplanes, including ABS-type airplanes, is earning your High Performance and Complex endorsements. Yet often the training provided for these endorsements happens fast and doesn’t really cover what you need to know to operate these airplanes safely and efficiently. In this presentation ABS’ Tom Turner reviews what you should have learned when your instructor signed your Complex and High Performance endorsements and helps fill any gaps in your training. Subjects include:

• Mastery and proficiency as the goals of Complex and High Performance endorsements
• What the regulations require
• What true proficiency requires
• When you think the endorsements are required but they are not
