What are the Anticipated Public Benefits?
Sets New Safety Standards for Airmen and Aircraft --– Hold an FAA pilot and flight instructor certificate
• Carry a passenger and conduct flight instruction• Affordable - $2600 vs. $10K
– Operate an FAA registered and certificated aircraft• Aircraft meets design, production, continued A/W standards• Aircraft inspected and maintained by certificated airman• Affordable “Ready to Fly Aircraft” - $15K-60K vs. $150K
– Compensation or hire:• Flight Training, Rental, and Towing
Provides for better access to: Insurance, financing, airports, and increased acceptance by general aviation community

Definition of a Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA)
Light-Sport aircraft are small, simple, low-performance, low energy, aircraft limited to:
• Maximum weight – 1320 lb (600kg) or 1,430 lb (650kg) (aircraft intended for water operations),
• 1 or 2 occupants,• Single engine (reciprocating),• Maximum stall speeds – 45 knots (no-lift enhancing devices),
• Maximum airspeed - 120 kts Vh(max power level flight),• Fixed landing gear (repositionable-land on water/retractable-
gliders), and• Fixed pitch propeller (ground adjustable).

FAA DAR
![Page 16: Certification of Pilots, Aircraft, and Repairmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft Rule December 2004 .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517e83f550346d5568b480a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What are Newly Manufactured Light-Sport Aircraft?
• Comply with Industry Consensus Standards• “Ready-to-Fly” Aircraft – Special LSA• “Kit-Built” Aircraft – Experimental “Kit-
Built”LSA– Manufacturer built “one” SLSA
– No 51% Build requirement
• Manufacturer Issues “Statement of Compliance” for your Special LSA or Experimental “Kit-Built” LSA by serial number.
![Page 17: Certification of Pilots, Aircraft, and Repairmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft Rule December 2004 .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517e83f550346d5568b480a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is a “Consensus Standard”?
•Minimum standards for design, manufacture, and in-service support
• Appropriate for this class of aircraft.
•Developed and maintained by industry and the public.
•FAA participates in the process and would publish “Notice of Availability”.
![Page 18: Certification of Pilots, Aircraft, and Repairmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft Rule December 2004 .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5517e83f550346d5568b480a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Is the Certification Process the Same for Imported LSA?
YES! IMPORTANT
• Regardless of the country of manufacture - the aircraft must meet or exceed the FAA accepted “consensus standards” for issuance of an airworthiness certificate.
• Imported aircraft must meet additional administrative requirements.
