High Performance Endorsement

Asked by: 2181 views , , ,
Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations, General Aviation

Hi all,

      I've recently been offered the opportunity to build time in a Seneca II Turbo and while reading through the POH I noticed that the engines produce 200 HP at sea level and 215 HP at 12,000 FT. MSL.  I do not have a high performance endorsement and was curious if I need one to act as PIC in this Seneca even though it produces 200 HP at sea level.  Also, if I do need a high performance endorsement, can it be done in a h.p. single engine or do I need to receive it in a h.p. twin?

Thanks!

Matt

    Yes because the engines can produce more than 200hp. You can get the endorsement in any airplane with an engine that produces more than 200hp.
