Before a person holding a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of a high- performance airplane, that person must have

A

passed a flight test in that airplane from an FAA inspector.

B

an endorsement in that person's logbook that he or she is competent to act as pilot in command.

C

received ground and flight instruction from an authorized flight instructor who then endorses that person's logbook.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

14 CFR 61.31(f) requires ground and flight training in a high-performance airplane from an authorized instructor, who then endorses the pilot's logbook as proficient. There is no FAA flight test for this privilege, and an endorsement alone without the training does not meet the rule.
