Sport Pilot and LSA take off — slowly

By Meg Godlewski · July 7, 2006 ·

The Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft rule was finalized in September 2004 and by April 2005 the first aircraft were starting to be certified in the United States.

By Meg Godlewski · July 7, 2006 ·

One of the greatest obstacles in getting the word to the non-flying masses about LSA is using language that the aviation-challenged understand.
