Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) are a class of small, single-engine aircraft that are designed for recreational flying and pilot training. They are typically two-seat aircraft, although some models can accommodate up to four passengers. LSAs are typically powered by a single piston engine and have a maximum takeoff weight of no more than 1,320 pounds. They are designed to be flown by a single pilot and are typically used for recreational flying, sightseeing, and pilot training. LSAs are typically less expensive to purchase and operate than other aircraft, making them attractive to recreational pilots. LSAs are subject to less stringent regulations than other aircraft, allowing them to be flown with fewer restrictions. This makes them attractive to pilots who are looking for a more relaxed flying experience. LSAs are also popular with flight schools, as they are less expensive to operate and maintain than other aircraft. Some of the companies in the Light Sport Aircraft market include Cessna, Piper, Flight Design, Tecnam, and Van's Aircraft. Show Less Read more
