The Federal Aviation Administration defines a light-sport aircraft as an aircraft with a maximum gross takeoff weight of not more than 1,320 pounds (600 kg) for aircraft not intended for operation on water; or 1,430 pounds (650 kg) for aircraft intended for operation on water; a maximum airspeed in level flight of 120 knots (220 km/h; 140 mph); a maximum stall speed of 45 knots (83 km/h; 52 mph); either one or two seats; fixed undercarriage and fixed-pitch or ground adjustable propeller; and a single electric motor or reciprocating engine, which includes diesel engines and Wankel engines.

Aircraft which qualify as LSA may be operated by holders of a Sport Pilot certificate, whether they are registered as Light Sport Aircraft or not. Pilots with a private, recreational, or higher pilot certificate may also fly LSA, even if their medical certificates have expired, so long as they have a valid driver's license to prove that they are in good enough health to fly. LSA also have less restrictive maintenance requirements and may be maintained and inspected by traditionally certificated Aircraft Maintenance Technicians, by individuals holding a Repairman: Light Sport certificate, and (in some cases) by their pilots and/or owners.  Light Sport Aircraft, or LSA, is a classification of aircraft specific to the United States.

Fisher Flying Products at Airventure 2009

The folks from Fisher Flying Products take time out at Airventure 2009 to talk to the Light Sport & Ultralight Flyer about their line of all ultralight and experimental aircraft. These all wood designs can be built from plans or kits. Building times range from 350 to 600 hours. No special tools or knowledge is needed to complete the kits and they can be built in an area the size of a garage for a car.

Fisher has been producing kits for over 20 years and has aircraft flying all over the world. For more information on the Fisher Flying Products line of aircraft visit www.fisherflying.com
