The FAA's Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft Program office tells ANN that they have added spread sheet and word documents on the http://afs600.faa.gov web site under Light Sport Aircraft Documents indicating the status of the Consensus Standards.

The FAA's Martin Weaver says that, "Hopefully, by April time frame we will be able to have the first set of complete standards available to certificate the first SLSA. We have also added a few additional DPEs willing to conduct sport pilot evaluations."

The branch is preparing for the next two sport pilot examiner initial courses in Sebring, FL. They are also preparing for their participation at Lakeland, where they will be located in the FAA Building to answer questions and provide information reference the various activities concerning sport pilot/light sport aircraft certification.

They plan to have two information pamphlets on the sport pilot/light sport aircraft programs and will be providing presentations on sport pilot certification, light sport aircraft certification, and sport pilot flight instructor duties and responsibilities in the ultralight forum area.
