a. received and logged ground and flight training from an authorized flight instructor in a complex airplane, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a complex airplane and have been found proficient in the operation and systems of that airplane.
b. received a one-time endorsement in your logbook from an authorized instructor who certifies you are proficient to operate a complex airplane.
Note: The training and endorsement required by this regulation is not required if the person has logged flight time as PIC of a complex airplane, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a complex airplane prior to August 4, 1997.
- With respect to certification, privileges, and limitations of airmen, define the terms: “Category,” “Class,” and “Type.”
(14 CFR Part 1)
Category—a broad classification of aircraft; i.e., airplane, rotorcraft, glider, etc.
Class—a classification of aircraft within a category having similar operating characteristics; i.e., single-engine land, multi-engine land, etc.
Type—a specific make and basic model of aircraft including modifications that do not change its handling or flight characteristics; i.e., DC-9, B-737, C-150, etc.
