High Performance Check Outs

[Unitedcap]

Hey Guys ,
Im a new CFI and want to start giving HP check outs. Anyone have any good links on material for lessons? I cant find any ACs out there.

While AC 61-9B is focused primarily on complex and multiengine aircraft, it is still very useful for HP checkouts, too. You may also find this AvWeb article instructive.

Sure it is. Go to www.faa.gov....AC's are available from the home page. Don't be deterred by the fact that the first one listed is 61-117...just scroll down to find 61-98.

Airplane Flying Handbook Chapter 11 has some good information.

...and when you click on the link you come to a page that describes the AC and informs the reader

This document's content is not currently available.​

I hear that can happen to those older ACs

What about AC 61-103 that recommends the GAMA transition training syllabus for pilots transitioning to high performance and complex aircraft.

Not a CFI, and don't really want to read 39 pages for you but at a glance it looks like it would be easily modified to fit your needs.

Yep. That's intended as a guide for all transitions and definitely fits the bill.

 

[midlifeflyer]

Don't know whether this will be helpful or not. It's a syllabus/task list (pdf) I put together some years ago as a general guide for myself.

And, while AC 61-9B is no longer available from the FAA it is available from other sites like this one.

Make sure to not rob your students of pic time while getting checked out like many instructors do.

I'm not sure "robbery" is an apt description. The CFI who says, "I know what the rules are, I just choose to apply my own instead" is pretty rare.

To the extent it still happens, most of the CFIs who do it are simply ignorant.

As is the pilot who consents to it.

 

[NJP_MAN]

The only reason I say robbery is because some instructors are so stubborn that they don't know the difference between category, class and endorsed. Its pretty simple yet it gets messed up so frequently. I have seen more people refuse the pic time than those that do it correctly.

My Summit Aviation Library CD has it in full. No free lunch, I guess.

Still free from other sources.

Hopefully he can get some reference material dated after 1974.

What one has to learn to check out in such planes really hasn't changed since then, so that will still do just fine as a guide for what to cover.

You must be very, very old to think something from 1974 could possibly be relevant!

Likely newer than the plane they'll fly

I'm not a CFI but a good review of how the CSP works is key with HP checkout. Here's a good link

Perhaps so, but I do think it. The syllabus in that AC is just as good now as it was then, and I doubt there's any one better.

You do realize this older guy was being facetious, don't you?

If you're just talking a straight high performance checkout (not complex), really isn't much to it.

Especially if it's fixed pitch or something, otherwise just teach em how to use the prop properly.

Does the student want to rent the plane after, or is this just a HP endorsement.
