Thanks for confirmation Ghengis. You lead me to another question, which I had in the back of my mind.
You said I would need an endorsement/difference training for nosewheel. Silly question: Why?
I interpreted it like this, that if I have a normal SEP I can fly any aircraft which does NOT have one of this 7 characteristics.
If I want to fly something more/in addition/different, I need the difference training. So I thought the tailwheel includes the nosewheel/trigear setup.
Following your logic it would mean, that if I have made the SEP on a variable pitch model, I need an endorsement for fixed pitch?
Comment: Not that I am avoiding to ask my FI for that, I just want to understand the logic.
