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

An LSA includes: SLSA, ELSA, standard aircraft that meet definition and experimental amateur built aircraft that meet definition.

 

The regs state that the aircraft has to meet this definition since its initial certification.  Thus, a L2M can not have its gross weight lowered from 1325 lbs to 1320 lbs and become a LSA.

Bob,

Normally, I do not disagree with your statements, so perhaps there is some mis-understanding here.

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

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