LSA Aircraft Category

Fixed Wing – S-LSA – E-LSA

• No commercial use• No maintenance requirements



A Special Airworthiness Certificate

Consensus standard means, for the purpose of certificating LSA, an industry-developed consensus standard that applies to aircraft design, production, and airworthiness. It includes, but is not limited to, standards for aircraft design and performance, required equipment, manufacturer quality assurance systems, production acceptance test procedures, operating instructions, maintenance and inspection procedures, identification and recording of major repairs and major alterations, and continued airworthiness.



LSA Use 91.327

1. To tow a glider or an unpowered ultralight vehicle

2. Flight training

Annual Condition Inspection

100-hour Inspection

Safety Directives Service Bulletins

Airworthiness Directives

Owner or Operator Responsible 91.403

Passenger Briefing: Advise about the special nature of the aircraft and that the aircraft does not meet the airworthiness requirements for

an aircraft issued a standard airworthiness certificate.

If it’s pink – brief!



LSA

Available at www.faa.gov

Light Sport Branch



LSA

Category = Airplane

Class = Land

Set = AP-1, AP-5Set of aircraft means aircraft that share similar performance characteristics, such as similar airspeed and altitude operating envelopes, similar handling characteristics, and the same number and type of propulsion systems. 61.1



To Fly different Make/Model 61.319

No training required by FAA



To Fly Different Set 61.323

Receive and log ground and flight training.

Receive an endorsement.



To Fly Different Cat or Class

Crossing white space

represents a different category

A Proficiency

Check is required



Training Required for Other Aircraft

Operate another aircraft in the same set 61.319.

No training required.

Operate an aircraft in a different category or different class 61.321

Proficiency Check required

Operate another aircraft in same category, class but different set 61.323

Training and endorsement required.



Proficiency Check – How it works

Instructor #1 • Conducts required training• Gives endorsement for the Proficiency Check• Recommends on 8710-11 Application (or IACRA)

Instructor #2 • Conducts the Proficiency Check • Gives the endorsement to add category or class• Completes the 8710 -11 Form • Sends paperwork to FAA within 5 days. (or IACRA)



Instructor #2 Proficiency Check Instructor

• Complete the 8710-11 Form• Gives the additional category or class endorsement

in logbook• Mails 8710-11 to FAA within 5 days

Or IACRA



When you are the Examiner

Bound by the PTS just as a DPE/SPE• Properly ID the applicant• Verify training documentation• Complete all required maneuvers• One chance only to demonstrate

each maneuver

Use a Plan of Action



Can You Instruct in a LSA

YES!• Sub-Part H CFI – no additional hrs required• Sport Instructor –

– 5 hours in a make and model of LSA – within the same set – as the aircraft in which you are providing training

Proficiency Check – YES! (Read the PTS)



Pilots Exercising Privileges

• Any certificated pilot• Choose not to renew medical• Exercise the privileges AND the limitations

• LSA only• Day only• Below 10,000’ MSL• Etc.

• Any certificated flight instructor• LSA only, etc



General Observations

• Each LSA make/model is different

• They are not simple aircraft

• Regardless of pilot hours or certificate held – the first 20 hours flying a LSA are the highest risk

• You don’t know, what you don’t know

• Unconventional designs

• Poor performance charts, POHs and training materials



A Thorough CheckoutInsurance company recommendations

5 to 7 hours of flight– General maneuvers and handling– GPS, Rotax engine and systems– Emphasize takeoffs, landings and go-arounds

• Visit a variety of airports• Fly in a variety of conditions• Crosswind, short and soft techniques

“…nearly all claims were with pilots transitioning from GA, there are virtually no customers (and no claims) from people starting out fresh in s-LSA’s.” Avemco Insurance

Internet-based

Automatically validates applications

Digital signatures

Produces end-products

Forwards to Airman Registry



An electronic 8710-1

Why I like IACRA

• Ensures applicants meet prerequisites

• Typed neatly – no mess

• Automatically edited for errors

• Less likely to be returned/delayed for errors

• Examiners - Paperwork done, nothing to mail

• Permanent certificate issued in less than 120 days – as little as 2 weeks!



The Downside of IACRA

Requires about 2 hours to get the student registered and application completed.

Will you charge the student?

At the practical exam, changes to the 8710 requires student & CFI & examiner to approve.

All errors must be resolved



Everyone REGISTERs as an Applicant to start

Have your current certificate & medical in front of you

Read the instructions on each screen

Screens change as information is entered

Help files online – good info!

Call the Help Desk – available most hours, most days

Tips for Getting Started

Time to Sign

With the first three steps completed, it’s time to digitally sign the application.



Digitally Sign Application



Practical Test Appointment

• Examiner will need the Applicant’s FTN number to access and review the application before the practical test may begin.

• The Applicant will digitally sign the application in the presence of the examiner.

• 141 Schools will need Designation Number.



My first month using IACRA

Separate Internet and phone connection

About an hour to get set up:• As an applicant• As a recommending instructor• As an examiner• School Administrator • Chief Instructor



• Have a paper 8710 in front of applicant to help organize the needed information.

• Total all hours and record on the paper, first.• Plan on HELP DESK handholding the first 2 or 3 times• Plan about 2 hours to help Applicant complete the

applicant and application process.

Your First Month on IACRA



Common Problems

• Slow Internet connection – screen times out• Help Desk unavailable• Screen forward without a copy for my records• New CFI – if not IACRA, then 120 days before he can recommend on

IACRA• Applicants on accelerated courses – even IACRA can’t process that

fast• Applicants with old certificate numbers• Software changes – it changes everything



The Reality

Instructor not IACRA eligibleApplicant not IACRA eligibleHelp Desk not available to fix a problem

Can’t lay it aside and continue the practical exam



Recap

Instructor - you must have • Internet access• Phone access• Printer access• Documents to enter information from.
