Light Sport Aircraft

Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) are small, lightweight aircraft designed for recreational flying and flight training. They typically weigh no more than 1,320 pounds (600 kg) and have simplified controls and features to make flying easier and more accessible. LSAs often require less training and have lower operating costs compared to traditional airplanes, making them popular among aviation enthusiasts. They include various aircraft types, such as fixed-wing airplanes, gliders, and seaplanes. Overall, LSAs provide a practical, enjoyable way for pilots to experience aviation without the complexities and expenses of larger, commercial aircraft.
