Clears Path For S-LSA Makers To Sell Planes As Kits
The Experimental Aircraft Association tells ANN that in a Notice
of Availability issued this week, the FAA accepted new ASTM
light-sport aircraft standards for experimental light-sport
aircraft (E-LSA) kits.
The EAA says that opens the door for manufacturers to sell S-LSA
approved aircraft in kit form, and LSA gliders. The FAA also
accepted six revised standards for special light-sport aircraft

gliders and E-LSA kit instructions.
