Jag har erfarenheter med PA28R och fått en komplicerad påskrift från min instruktör. Nu jobbar jag med flera tillägg och flygande DA42 Twinstar.
Behöver jag en annan komplett godkännande som anger klassen och typen av flygplanet för DA42 checkride?
Du behöver bara en komplett godkännande enligt FAA-föreskrifter,
§61.31 Type rating requirements, additional training, and authorization requirements.
(c) Aircraft category, class, and type ratings: Limitations on the carriage of persons, or operating for compensation or hire. Unless a person holds a category, class, and type rating (if a class and type rating is required) that applies to the aircraft, that person may not act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying another person, or is operated for compensation or hire. That person also may not act as pilot in command of that aircraft for compensation or hire.
(e) Additional training required for operating complex airplanes. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e)(2) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of a complex airplane, unless the person has—
(i) Received and logged ground and flight training from an authorized instructor in a complex airplane, or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a complex airplane, and has been found proficient in the operation and systems of the airplane; and
(ii) Received a one-time endorsement in the pilot's logbook from an authorized instructor who certifies the person is proficient to operate a complex airplane.
I ditt fall krävs en klassificering endast för "multi" -aspekten på DA-42 eftersom DA-42 inte har någon typbehörighet.
FAA definierar vidare komplexa flygplan som
Complex airplane means an airplane that has a retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller, including airplanes equipped with an engine control system consisting of a digital computer and associated accessories for controlling the engine and propeller, such as a full authority digital engine control; or, in the case of a seaplane, flaps and a controllable pitch propeller, including seaplanes equipped with an engine control system consisting of a digital computer and associated accessories for controlling the engine and propeller, such as a full authority digital engine control.
Ingen del av denna definition anger hur många motorer flygplanet har.
