A complex airplane is defined by the United States, Federal Aviation Administration as an aircraft that has all of the following: *A retractable landing gear (land aircraft only; a seaplane is not required to have this) *A controllable-pitch propeller (which includes constant-speed propellers) *Movable or adjustable flaps. In the U.S., students generally train for their first pilot certificate in an aircraft with fixed landing gear and a fixed-pitch propeller. It may or may not be equipped with flaps. Before or after earning the private pilot certificate (PPL) (usually after), a pilot can be trained in complex aircraft operation by a flight instructor. When the pilot has demonstrated proficiency in complex aircraft, the flight instructor endorses the pilot's logbook and the pilot is said to have a "complex endorsement". The FAA requires a pilot to have experience in, and take at least part of the practical test in, a complex airplane in order to earn the commercial pilot certificate (CPL) and the flight instructor certificate (CFI). Typical examples of complex airplanes include the Piper Arrow and Cessna 177RG. ==References== *(14 C.F.R., Sec. 61.31(e) ) *(8900.2 - General Aviation Airman Designee Handbook ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Complex airplane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
