Abstract:
This rule established requirements for the certification, operation, and maintenance of light-sport aircraft. For the operation of light-sport aircraft, the FAA established a sport pilot certificate and a flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot rating. The FAA also established requirements for student pilots and private pilots to operate these aircraft, and to revise the recreational pilot certificate to align it with privileges proposed for the new sport pilot certificate. The FAA created a new repairman certificate with ratings for individuals who inspect and maintain light-sport aircraft. In addition, the FAA is created a new category of special airworthiness certificate for light-sport aircraft that meet a consensus standard. This rule also revised the requirements for the issuance of experimental certificates to include light-sport aircraft.

Short Statement:
The original submission of this collection included burden associated with aircraft certification forms that have existing approval under the OMB Control Numbers 2120-0018, 2120-0022, 2120-0033, and 2120-0042. This burden accounted for procedures that apply generally to certification for aircraft operations and were already accounted for in the existing collections. Therefore, the burden for those forms has been removed, and only the burden associated specifically with the certification forms for the operation of light-sport aircraft has been included in this report. The removal of this extraneous burden has resulted in a reduction of 26,807 hours in this report from the previous submission.
