a.. A new experimental light-sport aircraft airworthiness certificate for
existing light-sport aircraft that do not meet the requirements of Part 103
(ultralight vehicles) of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
b.. New special, light-sport aircraft airworthiness certificates for
light-sport aircraft that meet an airworthiness standard developed by
industry.
