Hello,

I have recently started training to obtain my ppl, and I was wondering what the requirements are for flying high performance aircraft once I get my ppl.

Thank you very much,
Sean

Was it so hard to search AOPA or the FAA than asking us?

http://faa.gov/licenses_certificates/
im sure you'll find something here or...

http://search.aopa.org:7800/search?q=requirements+for+high+performance+aircraft&client=AOPA&numgm=5&proxystylesheet=AOPA&output=xml_no_dtd&site=AOPA

I have a better solution Derek...if it's such a problem for you to post an answer, don't post it.

No need to be like that Rick, I didn't mean it like that, but I found those search results within 30 seconds of looking, it took him longer to type the message...and why would I be here if I wasnt here to help?
didnt mean that way bud,

i dont even know what the AOPA is, and i have never seen or used the faa site... it's not so easy to think of them in the time of need if you dont know what they are or where to find them. and i personally have the surclaro forums as my home page so...

Good point actually Myth, I guess Atticus Finch was right when he said you need to step into the shoes of others...poor lil Scout, she's so cute :P

Myth,
AOPA is at www.aopa.org
all the info. for them is there
FAA is the federal aviation authority, you can find them at www.faa.gov

enjoy,
Derek

Oh right, is it max? didnt know that, whenever I see initials like that I just presume for some strange reason that 'A' stands for authority :P

what is the JAA?

CAA > Civil Aviation Authority (UK)
JAA > Joint Aviation Authorities (Europe)
FAA > Federal Aviation Administration (USA)

I have heard it be referred to as the federal aviation authority... I believe it was one of the discovery channels...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't AOPA stand for Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association?

Yes:

AOPA does mean Airplane Owners and Pilots Association.

I attended the AOPA EXPO 2005 in Tampa just a few months ago. 8) 8)

Check out their website:
