4. Flight Training on SPORTSTAR
4.1 Sportstar Purpose of Use
As already stated in Introduction of this manual the SPORTSTAR meets
the Light Sport Aircraft category requirements as described in reference [5]
and [6].
The airplane is intended primarily for sport and recreation, cross-country
flying and flight training. The Sportstar limitations are stated in section 3.
Always refer to the Aircraft Operating Instructions (reference [1]) of each
particular Sportstar to see all its valid limitations.
The uses for the Sportstar also depends on the category and airworthiness
certificate issued to the airplane:
1. The factory built Sportstar to which a special light-sport airworthiness
certificate was issued, may be used for sport and recreation, flight
training, or rental.
2. The Sportstar built from a kit could get an experimental airworthiness
certificate, and may be used only for sport and recreation, and flight
training.
3. You could get also an experimental airworthiness certificate to operate a
light-sport aircraft, if it previously had been issued a special, light-sport
aircraft airworthiness certificate and you do not want to comply with the
operating limitations associated with a special light-sport certificate. For
example, you could do this if you wanted to alter the aircraft without the
manufacturer’s authorization, or you choose not to comply with the
mandatory safety-of flight actions. You could use these aircraft only for
sport and recreation, and flight training.
Refer to reference [5] Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation
of Light-Sport Aircraft (Final Rule), issued by FAA, Doc. No. 4910-13,
Effective September 1, 2004 or latest for more details on Light Sport
