Re: Light sport!!!


 

You are correct.? Any aircraft that meets the definition of a light-sport aircraft is eligible to be operated by sport pilots, regardless of what category the aircraft is certificated in. ? When it comes to Homebuilts, it is up to the builder or person performing the flight tests to carefully document the speeds.? However, if you make unreasonable claims the FAA will likely look to published performance figures to determine whether the aircraft is eligible or not.

I think any EAB that was certified at LSA limits and remained so is legal for a Sport Pilot to fly. The trick might be establishing it met the clean stall and top speed limits. If you built a WagAero Cub or Vagabond and registered it at the 1320 LSA limit, I doubt anyone would question the speeds are out of limits.
