CDs, Registrars, and Tech Inspectors Please Note

To avoid any confusion, or possible misinterpretation of the rules, regarding competition by Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) please note the following: A pilot holding a Sport Pilot certificate, or higher (e.g., Private, Commercial, etc.), does NOT require a FAA medical certificate IF they are flying a LSA. Those pilots may compete with only a U.S. driver’s license which complies with the restrictions set forth in the applicable sections of the FAR’s. If any question arises as to whether an aircraft (primarily T-craft and Cubs in IAC competition) is classified as a LSA, a complete list of LSA’s may be found here.
