High Performance & Complex Endorsements

High Performance Endorsements 

A high performance airplane is an airplane with an engine that produces more than 200 horsepower. The high performance endorsement can typically be completed with one ground/flight lesson, but actual time depends on proficiency.

Complex Endorsements

A complex airplane has retractable landing gear, moveable flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller. Transitioning to complex airplanes is a minimal requirement for a Commercial Certificate, but also opens the door to flying a much wider variety of airplanes. A complex endorsement at FlightGest doubles as an aircraft checkout in our Arrow and typically takes 2-3 lessons, but actual time depends on pilot proficiency. These lessons include both ground and flight training on normal and emergency operation of retractable landing gear, constant-speed propeller, and flaps (although most pilots are already familiar with flap operation).
