Complex & High Performance
Perhaps a strange question but does anybody know if you have to first be a private pilot to obtain the high performance and complex endorsements? Could one who is training for his private do so in a complex/high performance aircraft and have the endorsements upon obtaining his private? Thanks!
Re: Complex & High Performance
I know of people getting private pilot certificates in both high performance and complex aircraft.

I seem to recall that Joe Montana's wife bought him a Malibu for his birthday and he did all his training in it.

Yeah, I believe high-perf and complex are just endorsements, so you can get them at the same time you are working on another rating. I'm assuming you'd want to make sure the endorsements are in your logbook before you solo.

Re: Complex & High Performance
I made sure my Cirrus primary student had his high performance endorsement before he soloed.
Re: Complex & High Performance
Makes sense. Thanks guys.
Re: Complex & High Performance
No, you do not, however you would never be able to act at PIC in a complex aircraft as a sport pilot after being endorsed as the constant speed prop keeps it from being an LSA.
