  1. CFI WORKSHOP MODULE 3Core Topic #6 SPORT PILOT • Downloaded from www.avhf.com

  2. OBJECTIVE This presentation will familiarize Flight Instructors with Light Sport Aircraft and Light Sport Pilots. Upon completion, participants will have knowledge of this subject and directions to rules and other sources of important information. Light Sport Aviation is growing and it is essential that the nation’s certified flight instructors and other aviation professionals become involved. • Downloaded from www.avhf.com

  3. SPORT PILOT OVERVIEW In September 2004, the FAA enacted the final rule establishing the Light Sport Category of aircraft and the Sport Pilot Certificate. This rule inaugurated a new realm of aviation to bring flying to a wider group of participants and establish safety standards at an acceptable level.

  15. INSTRUCTION SPORT PILOT

  16. WHO CAN FLY UNDER THE SPORT PILOT RULE? Pilots holding Sport Pilot Certificates. Pilots with Recreation or higher level privileges. Requirements are found in 14 CFR 61 Subpart J.

  17. MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER SPORT PILOT RULE See 14 CFR 61.303 for specific requirements. No medical certification requirements for gliders or balloons. For other aircraft, a valid US Drivers License. Not know or have reason to know of a medical condition that would make the pilot unable to operate the LSA in a safe manner.

  18. CONDITIONS RELATED TO PREVIOUS FAA MEDICAL CERTIFICATION If the pilot previously applied for an FAA Medical, he / she must have been eligible for issuance on their most recent application. Must not have had their most recent FAA medical denied, suspended or revoked. Must not have had their most recent Special Issuance/Medical Certificate withdrawn.

  19. MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER SPORT PILOT RULE Eligibility, Knowledge, and Flight Proficiency. Aeronautical Experience. Endorsements. Privileges and Limits.

  20. SPORT PILOT vs PRIVATE PILOT: HOURS FOR INITIAL CERTIFICATION

  21. PRIVATE vs SPORT PILOT LIMITATIONS: WEATHER DAY NIGHT IFR (Instrument Rated) VFR (greater than 3mi vis) VFR (less than 3mi vis) VFR (above clouds)

  22. PRIVATE vs SPORT PILOT LIMITATIONS: AIRSPACE CLASS A (Instrument Rated) CLASS B, C, D (Sport needs endorsement) CLASS E, G ABOVE 10,000 MSL (Sport ok if 2,000’ AGL or less)

  23. SPORT PILOT LIMITATIONS: TYPE OF FLIGHTS Watch This! PASSENGERS (Sport: only ONE) SALES DEMOS BUSINESS TOWING (UL or LSA glider) CHARITABLE CROSS COUNTRY

  24. INSTRUCTOR SPORT PILOT

  25. WHO MAY INSTRUCT SPORT PILOTS? Flight Instructors holding certificates issued under 14 CFR Subpart H. Sport Pilot Instructors holding certificates issued under 14 CFR Subpart K.

  26. SUBPART H FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS EXERCISING SPORT PILOT INSTRUCTOR PRIVILEGES Must refer to 14 CFR 61.429 for guidance. Must have appropriate category and class ratings – or equivalent light sport privileges. Must be acting as a light sport instructor while exercising these privileges.

  27. CAN A LIGHT SPORT INSTRUCTOR CONDUCT A PROFICIENCY CHECK? YES! A Light Sport Instructor can conduct a proficiency check for additional category or class privilege at the Light Sport level (see 14 CFR 61.321). The instruction and check flight must be performed by separate instructors. The instructor who conducts the check must submit documentation to the FAA.

  28. WHAT FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS SHOULD KNOW VH AND SPORT PILOT ENDORSEMENTS • VH = Maximum speed in level flight at maximum continuous power. • This V speed is important for Sport Pilot endorsement §61.327: • Aircraft VH less than 87kts CAS • Aircraft VH greater than 87kts CAS • Remember: initial sport pilot certificate requires fewer hours! When a sport pilot requests more privileges or flying other LSA makes/models, more training & individual endorsements are required • A CFI may not conduct instruction in an experimental aircraft that he or she provides unless a letter of deviation authorization (LODA) is received from a FSDO.

  29. WHAT FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS SHOULD KNOW SPORT PILOT TRAINING SIMILAR TO PRIVATE • Meet minimum eligibility requirements (61.305) • Receive appropriate training for ground and flight (61.309, 61.311) • Take the knowledge test (61.307) • Complete the required hours for flight and instruction (61.313) • Have proper endorsements and submit application • Take the practical test based upon the Sport Pilot PTS (FAA-s-8081-29)

  30. WHAT FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS SHOULD KNOW A FLIGHT REVIEW IS STILL A FLIGHT REVIEW • AC 61-98 / 61.56 still apply • Stick and rudder skills or tailwheel endorsement • Crosswind practice and steeper approach profiles • Stall characteristics and aerodynamics • Use the flight review to assist in adding a new privilege • The ASF-610 website offers guidance for proficiency checks: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/afs/afs600/afs610/

  31. LSA FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS MAY DIFFER These aircraft may require a significant amount of hours retraining, especially if a pilot hasn’t flown in many years or is unfamiliar with aircraft characteristics. Descent profiles, stall and spin awareness & recovery, crosswind landings, slower speeds (VH), and weight / balance should be familiar to the instructor before launching out with a student.

  32. ACCIDENT DATA FOR LIGHT SPORT • NTSB provides statistics for Amateur Built but not Light Sport • It is probable that some Light Sport accidents are included in this data • 2010 US General Aviation accidents: 1093 total 193 fatal (17%) • 2010 US Amateur Built accidents: 208 total 55 fatal (26%)

  33. FAR PART 61 • Sport Pilot Certificate – Part 61 Subpart J • Sport Pilot Flight Instructor Certificate – Part 61 Subpart K • FAA WEBSITES (FAA.GOV, ASF-610, and FAA Safety.GOV) • http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/ • http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/sport_pilot/ • http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/afs/afs600/afs610/ • http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/media/ExistingModels.pdf • http://faasafety.gov/gslac/onlineresources.aspx?masterId=3 • FAA Safety.gov/Resources/Online Resources/Type of Operations…162 links to Sport Pilot! • AOPA • http://www.aopa.org/sportpilot/ • http://www.aopa.org/asf/publications/sport_pilot_check.html • NAFI and EAA • http://faaflighttest.us/cfisportguide.pdf • http://www.nafinet.org/news.aspx?id=7 • EAA • http://www.sportpilot.org/ • Many other great resources exist, but the LSA and Sport Pilot community needs more CFI’s and DPE’s to support the growing industry…get involved and instruct in Sport!

  34. QUIZ

  35. 1. What are the medical requirements for a person exercising Sport Pilot privileges? Must hold a medical certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 67 or a valid U.S. driver’s license. A person flying a balloon or a glider does not need a medical certificate or a driver’s license.

  37. 3. A pilot holding a recreational pilot certificate or above may exercise light sport privileges… In any 2 place aircraft of the same category and class on his/her pilot certificate. Only in a light sport aircraft or certificated aircraft that meets the light sport aircraft rule. Only with a CFI endorsement. In a light sport aircraft under day or night because the higher level of pilot certification allowed those privileges.
