Processes Pass Muster For ASTM Certification
The
Light Aircraft Manufacturing Association (LAMA) announced Thursday
the first four companies to win the highly coveted Light Sport
Aircraft Compliance Awards. The organization LAMA chose to provide
the auditing is ASTM International.
ASTM has played a leadership role in addressing standardization
needs in the global marketplace. They are known for their "best in
class" practices for standards development and delivery, ASTM is at
the forefront in the use of innovative technology to help its
members do standards development work.
"Congratulations to these companies who have taken the lead in
demonstrating compliance to international industry stands, said Tom
Gunnarson, President of LAMA. "This process helps assure that there
are documents in the files and the process or controls in place
that substantiate the audited sections of the ASTM standards for
light sport aircraft.
The first company to pass the stringent compliance audit is
Dallas, TX-based IndUS Aviation, the producer of the Thorpedo and
Sky Skooter. The second organization was Jihlavan Airplanes, makers
of the Kappa KP-5. Germany's Flight Design, which produces the
high-wing CT was third, and AeroPro -- makers of the tube and
fabric Eurofox -- is the fourth and final manufacturer.
The EAA has been a strong supporter of compliance audits.
Executive Vice President Bob Warner was on hand for the ceremonial
distribution of the LAMA decal that will be applied to aircraft, to
denote their adherence to the regulations.
