KR>Tailwheel Endorsement

2008-10-12 Thread Ross Youngblood
My opinion on this topic is that there seems to be a loophole with
respect to the tailweel endorsement with an Experimental aircraft.
I think this a result of allowing an "Experimental" aircraft to be
somthing entirely new, where their may not be a flying example of
such a craft.   For example, assume someone developed a vertical
takeoff and landing aircraft using some new technology.  Then you
could build it and fly it and be within the FARS -- Experimental.

However, since the KR is a conventional aircraft, and the "intent"
of the regulation on tailwheel aircraft is for the pilots safety,
I think it is not too much of a leap to assume that it is in your
best interest to have an up to date tailwheel endorsement in your
logbook before flying.

Also a pilot attempting to maintain "currency" in a KR with a tailwheel
should observe the regulations with respect to full stop landings.
I'm not saying that you have to, but if you do, there would be no
question in the case of an accident over the FAR's.

If you do have an incident in your KR, in my opinion, you want to
be in as much a position of strength as possible.  If you have your
tailwheel endorsement, and you have followed flight advisor recommendation
on transition training, you will be seen as a careful pilot.  And that
would in my opinion help you out in case of some other human error that
could happen.

Thats just my 2 cents.

What this thread sounds like is the following:

  "Hey, it looks like there is a loophole that will save me about $700 on
flight training before I fly my KR".

   Probably.

KR>Tailwheel Endorsement

2008-10-12 Thread Kenneth B. Jones
It's clear that a tailwhell endorsement is not required by FAR part 61.31 if
you hold a pilot certificate,  but under certain circumstances, without one,
you could be violated under part 91.13.  Recent flight experience of part
61.57 certainly applies.

This was sent to me. Don't know if any of it makes sense, but I thought you
should have the info.


Though it isn't spelled out in the FARs, it will be in
the Operating Limitations. Under FAA Order 8130.2E
there must be included a paragraph that states:

"The pilot in command of this aircraft shall hold a
category/class rating, or an authoriized instructor's
logbook endorsement. The pilot in command must meet
the requirements of para. 61.31(e), (f), (g), (h),
(i), and (j) as appropriate."

Hope this helps clear things up. It really is
confusing.

That only applies to certified aircraft not ones registered in the
experimental category.

You can actually have a fixed wing license and fly a experimental gyro or

KR>Tailwheel Endorsement

2008-10-12 Thread Brian Kraut

It gets more and more confusing.  I looked at my operating limitations and this 
is the statement I found:

"The pilot in command of this aircraft must, as applicable, hold an appropriate 
category/class rating, have an aircraft type rating, have a flight instructor's 
log book endorsement or posses a "Letter of Authorization" issued by an FAA 
Flight Standards Operations Inspector."

My operating limitations were from April 14, 1991 and Order 8130.2 probably did 
not exist at the time.  Rev E was fairly recent so if the order did exist it 
was at least a different revision.  I suspect that operating limitation issued 
today would be as Dan stated.

The weird part is that you must meet paragraph (j) requiring the tailwheel 
signoff "as appropriate", but paragraph (k) says that this section does not 
apply to an aircraft with an experimental type certificate so now I don't 
really know what the answer is and the FAA inspector I spoke to would also 
probably scratch his head if I put all the rules in front of him ans asked what 
they meant.

I suppose that the FAA could, and probably, would put specific endorsement and 
training requirements in your operating limitations if you built an 
experimental 400 mph multi-engine tailwheel turbojet aircraft.

Some may think this is wasted bandwith, but I do find it interresting.  If 
anyone other than me wants to see a definitive answer from an authority on this 
let me know and I will see if I can get a clarification from the FAA.

2008-10-12 Thread David Mikesell
Well I know that all of the ones I have had signed off and had the
airworthiness certificates for did not have such a limitation but I have
heard from others that the FAA inspector added such things, which he can do.
I have seen a certificate issued for a RAF gyro that said "The Pilot in
Command must posses the appropriate rating to operate this aircaft" and yet
according to the FAA the only rating required is a Private Pilot license
inorder to carry passengerswell 15 weeks of fighting buearacy and
the certificate was reissued without this statement in it. That is why I
used a DAR...yes it cost money and sometimes it is alot of money but they
just issue a certificate without all of their personal opinions written in
as a restriction for operation.

Hi Dan,

I have to ask why as I'm going to replace my retactable gear with fixed gear
and was thinking of converting to a nose wheel.
I will be operating from a 1000 yard grass strip which can be bumpy and have

Why would I like to see more wheels on the tails of KRs?  Well, I just like
them better.  I believe that each builder should build what they want, but
there is a certain thing about a conventional KR that I really like.  Well,
I like all tail wheel airplanes and a lot that are not.

Now for your situation, you really need a tail wheel.  Bumpy and tall grass,
good by nose wheel.  Put some good 5X5 on a nice set of Clevelands and use
the Grove gear to get it a little higher and your in business.  

Like Larry says, it is a little "orgasmic".  Or maybe, just sexy.
