regulationsFAA-published sample question (CAX, Aug 2021)

To act as PIC of a high performance airplane, which training or experience would meet the additional requirements?

A

Logged at least five hours as SIC in a high performance or turbine-powered airplane in the last 12 calendar months.

B

Received and logged ground and flight training in an airplane with retractable landing gear, flaps, and controllable-pitch propeller.

C

Received and logged ground and flight training in a high performance airplane and a received a logbook endorsement.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

14 CFR 61.31(f) requires a pilot acting as PIC of a high-performance airplane (engine of more than 200 horsepower) to have received and logged ground and flight training from an authorized instructor in a high-performance airplane and to hold a one-time logbook endorsement. Training in a retractable-gear, controllable-pitch airplane is the complex endorsement (61.31(e)), and SIC time is not an alternative.
