Continued Airworthiness Instructions
Unlike other aircraft for which the FAA is responsible for the continued certification
compliance, for Light Sport Aircraft, the burden of continued certification compliance
rests on a cooperative effort between the manufacturer and the Owner/Operator of
the aircraft. To this end, certain Manufacturer and Owner/Operator responsibilities
are outlined in ASTM F 2295, Standard Practice for Continued Operational Safety
Monitoring of a Light Sport Aircraft.
1.4.1.
Manufacturer Responsibilities
In order to fulfill the manufacturer’s responsibilities, Flight Design USA maintains an
Operational Safety Monitoring System that provides for the following practices:
A. Operational Safety Monitoring, a system by which:
1. Safety of Flight and Service Difficulties are reported by the Owner/Operator.
2. Safety of Flight and Service Difficulty issues are received, tracked, and evaluated
by Flight Design USA.
B. Continued Airworthiness Support, a system by which:
1. Flight Design USA issues Safety Directives (Notices of Corrective Action) directed
towards correcting Safety of Flight and Service Difficulty issues.
2. The Owner/Operator obtains and verifies that they have the latest safety of flight
information developed by the manufacturer.
C. Maintenance Instructions
Provided to the Owner/Operator and pertaining to 100 hour and annual condition
inspections.
D. Continued Airworthiness Instructions
Provided to the Owner/Operator and pertaining to maintaining the certification
compliance of their S-LSA
1.4.2.
Owner/Operator Responsibilities and Instructions
F 2295 states that the Owner/Operator shall:
A. Read and comply with the maintenance and continued airworthiness information
and instructions provided by the manufacturer.
These instructions are included in the Aircraft Operating Instructions, Maintenance
and Inspection Procedures and Flight Supplement manuals.
B. Provide the manufacturer with current contact information where the manufacturer
may send the Owner/Operator supplemental notification bulletins.
At the time of delivery, the Owner/Operator will provide the contact information to
Flight Design USA or its representative. Contact information may be updated at any
time by:
