Chapter 11 Transition to Complex Airplanes
11-1 IntroductionA high-performance airplane is defined as an airplane with an engine capable of developing more than 200 horsepower. A Complex airplane is an airplane that has a retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller. In lieu of a controllable pitch propeller, the aircraft could also have an engine control system consisting of a digital computer and associated accessories for controlling the engine and the propeller. A seaplane would still be considered Complex if it meets the description above except for having floats instead of a retractable landing gear to Complex Airplanes Chapter 1111-2 Figure 11-2.

It would be impossible to discuss all the many airplane design and flap combinations. This emphasizes the importance of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Airplane Flight Manual and/or Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/ POH) for a given airplane. While some AFM/POHs are specific as to operational use of flaps, others leave the use
