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

>The definition of a LSA, amongst other things, say that the plane can not ever have been certificated in any other catagory.

The definition of the Experimental-LSA category says that. That's an airworthiness restriction. That doesn't change the generic definition of 14 CFR 1.1.


>True, a SP pilot can fly a plane that meets the limitations of a LSA,
>However, that does not make that plane a LSA.

Semantics here, I think. if an aircraft meets the definitions, it is a "light sport aircraft" (14 CFR 1.1 says so). If you want to call it a "light sport aircraft", or if you want to just say "my plane meets the definition of a light sport aircraft", that's fine.
