solo sign off

[cheater1239]

situation: private pilot, airplane single engine land. to solo in a multiengine airplane, what is required beyond a "o.k. to solo" endorsement?

I'm thinking 61.87e and a complex endorsement....also a high perf. if applicable.

Just curious, the insurance carriers at everyplace I've dealt with would just die if a solo student took out a twin...how'd you pull that off?

61.31(d) (not 61.87 - the pilot is not a student pilot) applies to class additions. Look at AC61-65E (as always) for the FAA-recommended endorsement.

Did you mean Supervised Solo?

The same solo endorsements that you had to solo a single apply again to multi-engine solo's. Most ME solo time is actually accomplished by doing Supervised Solo (ie. Instructor is in airplane, but does not log dual given and you log supervised solo!)

there is no such thing, it's acting PIC with a Pilot In Command endorsement 61.129(b)(4)

It's solo or not solo that simple.
And I would NEVER sign somebody off for solo in a twin.
It's a PIC endorsement baby and I'm logging dual given because it is "acting" PIC.

Somebody needs to be in charge..DAMN.

In the military during ME training it was counted as ME solo when they put another student in the cockpit.
