The Light Sport Aircraft Final Rule was published in today’s edition of the Federal Register. The Rule goes into effect September 1, 2004. However, the FAA still needs to publish an implementation rule providing procedures and programs for putting the Final Rule into effect. Of specific interest to many airman will be the alternate procedure the FAA is to develop for certifying light sport aircraft airman who have previously been denied an FAA medical certificate or had one revoked. I will try to post programs, procedures and updates for the light sport aircraft rule as they become available.
However, the Final Rule also lists the following contacts for obtaining answers to questions you may have regarding the rule:
