	Light aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Light aircraft is a generic category of aircraft that comprises many official designations in many countries.
		As a result, many aviation authorities decided to declare artificial definitions of lightweight, slow-flying aeroplanes that could be subject to "light touch" regulation.
		The safety regulations used to approve light aircraft vary between countries, the most strict being the United Kingdom and Germany, while they are almost non-existent in France and the United States.

	Light-sport Aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Light-sport Aircraft, or LSA, is a classification of aircraft in the United States.
		Certain certificated aircraft, such as the original Piper Cub, meet the definition of Light-sport Aircraft, and can be operated by sport pilots.
		Several designers and manufacturers of experimental aircraft kits are working to develop models that are compliant with the Light-sport Aircraft rules.

	Light Light Support Aircraft
		The use of light aircraft does show considerable promise, however, and the major aspects of the concept can be evaluated by an application of the checks of suitability, feasibility and acceptability.
		Light aircraft are the only means of providing a good target acquisition, armed reconnaissance and discrimination capability.
		The small amount of extra fuel required by light aircraft should be offset in most cases by greater ease in transportation to the combat area and greater flexibility.

	Light Cargo Aircraft (LCA)
		Some have suggested establishing joint light cargo airplanes that have both airplanes from the Army National Guard purchased by the Army and air National Guard airplanes purchased by the Air, set up in a joint light cargo aircraft units.
		It would not be possible to bring in large aircraft in the absence of the large improved runways and the support systems that are necessary.
		This light cargo aircraft becomes extremely useful to providing a logistics bridge from essentially the wholesale level to the foxhole.

		Aircraft with a standard airworthiness certificate that meet above specifications may be flown by sport pilots.
		However, the aircraft must remain in standard category and cannot be changed to light-sport aircraft category.
		May be operated at night if the aircraft is equipped per FAR 91.205, if such operations are allowed by the aircraft's operating limitations and the pilot holds at least a Private Pilot certificate and a minimum of a third-class medical.

		Aeronautical engineer Chris Heintz, the designer of Zenith Aircraft Company's line of kit aircraft, is one of the most qualified and knowledgable light aircraft designers today.
		The tail loads may be down or up depending on the pilot raising or dipping the nose of the aircraft by pulling or pushing the pitch control; the rudder may be deflected to the right as well as to the left (side loads on the fuselage).
		Designing a new aircraft, or redesigning (modifying) an existing design, should be done by the amateur builder only with the help of a reputable light aircraft designer.

	Light Sport Aircraft Feature
		A type-certified aircraft is one that has been built and tested in accordance with the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 23, which was written to regulate commercial, business, and transportation aircraft.
		Amateur-built aircraft do not need to meet the stringent requirements of FAR Part 23, and thus can be sold at a lower cost and can incorporate changing technology more readily into the designs.
		It was agreed at this meeting to move forward with the establishment of the new ASTM Committee F37 for Light-Sport Aircraft.

	NAPPF Light Sport Aircraft
		Although normally an experimental aircraft cannot be used commercially, a sport pilot instructor may instruct in a Former Ultralight E-LSA until September 1, 2009.
		The S-LSA does not have a normal aircraft type certificate issued under FAR 23, so that's why the airworthiness certificate which is issued to a light-sport aircraft will be a "special" airworthiness certificate, and not a "standard" airworthiness certificate.
		For example, an experimental amateur-built aircraft may have more than two seats, may have retractable gear, may have an in-flight adjustable propeller, may have more than one engine, and it may weigh more than 1,320 pounds--all of which are not available to light-sport aircraft.

		This means that you will be as safe as possible by ensuring that the aircraft is maintained to the highest possible standards, that your pilot will be highly trained, his or her health will be closely monitored, and that the organisation has the correct (expensive) licences.
		Many training aircraft are two seaters, but some are four seaters and it may be possible to take other family members on your trial lesson - you should ask the flight training organisation before setting off to avoid disappointment.
		This might involve the use of a little aircraft to demonstrate the controls in the three axes (pitch, roll, and yaw), because the first lesson is all about the simple matter of steering the aeroplane and in a few minutes YOU'LL BE DOING IT.

		One would choose a midsize jet over a light jet because of the larger cabin, the longer range (which eliminates the need to stop for fuel), and the additional speed.

	Light-Sport Aircraft Consensus Standards
		This is perhaps the broadest category of aircraft covered by the NPRM and therefore it is the most difficult to cover with one rule.

	Light Sport Aircraft Registration
		While this rulemaking affects the certification and operation of light-sport aircraft and certification of pilots, flight instructors, and repairmen, it must be stressed that aircraft that fit into this “new” category must first be issued a U.S. registration certificate before they are eligible to obtain an airworthiness certificate.
		These “fat” ultra light vehicles don’t meet the regulatory definition of Part 103 because they are larger, heavier, and faster than specified in that rule.
		The light sport rulemaking, when effective, will provide a 24-month window in which to register these existing aircraft, as well as a 36-month window (inclusive of the 24-month window for registration) to obtain airworthiness certification.

	AEROPOXY LIGHT from Aircraft Spruce
		Aeropoxy Light, a modification of the ES6279 adhesive system, is a two-component paste epoxy patching and filler compound for foam, wood, fiberglass and other surfaces.
		It is a very light material (4 pounds per gallon), and therefore contributes minimal added weight to the filled or repaired structure.
		There are no volatile ingredients in AEROPOXY LIGHT, so the cured material will not outgas, which could cause a loss of adhesion of paint or coverings.

		The first of these aircraft was rolled out in 1995, but difficulties with the flight control system and manufacturing of composite structural components kept the plane grounded.

	Mite Owners approach to Light-Sport Aircraft NPRM
		Phase Two (after the final adoption of the NPRM) will be the time for really pressing for an exception for the Mite, when particular aircraft such as the Mite can be given attention to by the FAA without jeopardizing the passage of the NPRM itself.
		The reasoning: since the whole thrust of the NPRM is towards inclusion of small, low powered, simple aircraft, the regulations regarding limits for speed, stall speed and weight have already served to eliminate complex aircraft with complex gear retraction systems.
		The point is, at this stage we are trying to get them to change the wording of the light sport-aircraft requirements rather than make an exception for our particular aircraft type (the Mite).
