LSA rule changes

Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

LSA rule changes

Post by jjfjr »

Hi;

I've been away from the forum for awhile and I was wondering about the status of the LSA changes (weight increase, etc.). The last I heard is that the changes are to be sent out for comment in mid 2022 and it might become law by the end of 2023. Anyone heard different?

Thanks;

The NRPM will need to be published by around AirVenture to make the timeline for the end of 2023. However, some indications I've seen from AOPA interviews and a conference I was on gives me a feeling they're behind schedule. They've hooked a lot of issues on MOSAIC, some non-LSA specific line items seem to be the speed bumps.
