JAR-22 should be accepted as Special Light Sport Aircraft standard
I've been watching the Sport Pilot aircraft certification
scene quite closely now, and as it fleshes out, I have some observations. The SLSA standards for airplane, weight shift, etc. which are published are hampering the development of SLSA for these categories due mostly to lack of familiarity. I'm more convinced now than ever that a simple finding that JAR-22 compliant gliders should qualify as SLSA would make certification of such gliders quite smooth. If any of you pilots or manufacturers out there have input into this process, you may want to cast your support behind making JAR-22 the standard for SLSA, or at least making it as close as possible. There are benefits to this that will have impacts to gliding for a LONG time. I will go over the most obvious ones in a later post. Mark J. Boyd |
