|
|
All --
I recently got my SP License. Since they got rid of the aircraft "sets" it seems that the only requirement to fly a particular make/model of aircraft is to have the proper Vh endorsement.
So my question is, have I missed something? Is there any formal training that is required to transition from one plane with a Vh of >87 to another since I have that endorsement?

The way I understand the regs, no, except you do need training and endorsements for taildragger, ski's, floats etc. However, the insurance company may have other ideas. |

| Most insurance companies will want you to complete transition training. When I purchased my Lightning the insurance company required 3 hours transition training with a CFI (or CFIS) that was checked out on the aircraft. Most places will also require a check out with a CFI if you are wishing to rent a plane different that the one you regularly fly. Everyone wants to ensure they have CYA in place. |

Thanks for the advice guys. I have the AOPA non-owners policy. What is the language that I should look for to find this info in my policy? (I skimmed it last night but did not see anything -- tho that does not mean it isnt there!)

I'd make sure first of all it covers LSA's. I know that back when I was looking at non-owned insurance, that certain policies wouldn't cover LSA's, as they didn't have a standard airworthiness certificate. Kind of a BS reason, IMO, but that's how one of them was. |

Yes -- it does cover LSA. I definitely checked for that before I bought it as I had seen some that did not. AOPA's now does.
