How would you go about signing someone off in a cassutt, jodel D9, titch, pitts etc!?
You do not "sign people off" on aircraft they are legal to fly but have no experience on, though ideally they would have a check out. The Pitts is easy, use a two seater to start with!Anyone wanting to fly anything like this should have Tailwheel signed off which will be done on another type, ideally they should then have gained plenty of Tailwheel experience on a variety of aircraft. They then read any notes there might be (often non available), if possible get a briefing from others that have flown it and then go and fly it - start by climbing to height, get the feel of the aircraft, try some stalls and then see if you can land it!
