Aims To Introduce A&Ps To Unique Requirements

Sport Aviation Specialties told ANN this week about the launch of a new online course to introduce existing A&P mechanics to the unique maintenance and inspection requirements for light-sport aircraft.

The one-day course -- which is conducted via video and audio conferencing over the Internet -- is aimed at A&P mechanics who may have been reluctant to offer LSA maintenance and inspection services, based on a lack of knowledge of the rules, the equipment, and potential pitfalls.

Maintenance and inspection requirements for LSA are considerably different than for the type-certificated standard-production aircraft A&P mechanics are used to dealing with. The course provides a detailed grounding in all the information A&Ps needs to add LSA maintenance and inspection to their service offerings.

Sport Aviation Specialities notes that because the course is conducted over the Internet, participants do not have to travel to remote locations... thus saving time, gasoline, airline tickets, hotel, and other travel expenses.
