[edit] Merge with Ultralight aviation

KEEP Light Sport Aircraft is not Ultralight Aviation. Please see the Federal Aviation Regulations for more details.24.9.10.235 03:22, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keep LSA separate

LSA are a separate category from "ultralight aircraft" in the US, in terms of both performance and basis of certification. Ultralights are currently regulated under FAR Part 103, while LSA are regulated as traditional aircraft.

[edit] How it is written

This article is about the FAA LSA category of aircraft. They write it "Light-sport Aircraft". So should we. The hyphen is weird but it is their hyphen. But the A is capitalised. The term was NOT in common usage before the FAA invented it. It is a proper name. (When the term is in common use, if ever, to refer to aircraft which are generally of lighter weight and generally of sporty character then we need an article "light sport aircraft". No caps, no hypen.) Article renamed to capitalise the A. Paul Beardsell 07:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
