Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group How to Tell if Aircraft is really LSA

Dongen,

NO airplane that has been certificated as 'standard' catagory (or similar) can ever be a LSA.
However, A sport Pilot can fly the plane with the SP certificate IF the plane meets all the criteria (weight, speeds, etc) for a LSA.

The URL:
<http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/aircraft/specifications/piper/1958-piper-comanche-250.html>
says, for the Comanche 250, the max ramp weight is 2800 pounds.
The 2800 pounds does not meet the criteria of LSA (max ramp weight of 1320 pounds).

Therefore, the Comanche 240 cannot be flown as a LSA.

Is there a listing or such that specifically lists various older experimental or factory built planes as light sport, or is it strictly a buyers beware area? I see on trade a plane for instance, some guy has a Comanche 250 for sale as a light sport!
