According to the Type Certificates (TC's)
and published specifications, the following standard category
aircraft meet the definition of a light-sport aircraft (LSA)
according to 14 CFR Part 1.1. However, individual aircraft of a
given type may not meet the criteria due to modification by STC or
field approval. The pilot would need to check the records of a
particular aircraft and verify that it has not been modified in such
a way as to disqualify that aircraft.
This list is just a list of common certificated
aircraft that meet the sport pilot criteria, it is not a complete
list. |

NOTES:
1) Aeronca 7EC's are normally
certificated at either 1450 or 1500 lbs gross weight, which disqualifies
them for operation by sport pilots. However, there are some 7EC's
certificated at 1300 lbs gross weight. These aircraft are eligible for
operation by sport pilots.
2) Piper J5s, including military
variants (L-4F, L-4G, HE-1, AE-1) are certificated as 3 place aircraft,
which disqualifies them for operation by a sport pilot. The 1450 lb gross
weight is also disqualifying.
