![]() Aircraft in this category can be either conventional three-axis aircraft, weight shift aircraft (trikes) or powered parachutes and have a MTOW not exceeding 600kg (650kg for seaplanes).Aircraft can either be factory built with a special certificate of airworthiness (S-LSA) or kit built aircraft of the same make and model as a production aircraft with an experimental certificate of airworthiness (E-LSA). LSA does not replace any existing categories and it is not intended to apply to aircraft already operating in an existing category. Light sports aircraft - LSA is a new category of two seat sport and recreational aircraft that is available to both the general aviation and ultralight industry. Aircraft in this category have a MTOW of 544kg (614kg for seaplanes) and carry the registration 19-xxxx. The major portion of the total construction of an aircraft in this category (i.e. owner designed or built from plans) or from a kit, where the kit is deemed eligible. ![]() Aircraft can either be built from scratch (i.e. Aircraft in this category can be used for training and carry the registration 24-xxxx.Īmateur built aircraft - This category provides for single and two seat amateur built aircraft that are intended for educational or recreational purposes. The manufacturer of aircraft in this category must hold a type certificate, a certificate of type approval and a production certificate for the aircraft. Aircraft in this category can be used for training and 101.55 aircraft carry the registration 55-xxxx.įactory built aircraft - CAO 95.55 also provides for the manufacture of factory built two seat aircraft with a MTOW of 544kg (614kg for a seaplane). Aircraft in this category have a MTOW of 450kg and approved maintenance and flight manuals must be provided. 101.28 aircraft carry the registration 28-xxxx.ġ01.55 - This category covers two seat aircraft that have been built in a factory, in Australia or overseas, where the manufacturer holds a certificate of approval to manufacture the aircraft issued by CASA. Aircraft in this category have a MTOW of 450kg (480kg under certain circumstances) and the builder must have constructed at least 51% of the aircraft. 95.25 category aircraft carry the registration 25-xxxx.ĩ5.32 - This category covers single and two seat weight shift controlled aircraft such as trikes, powered parachutes and powered hang gliders.95.32 category aircraft carry the registration 32-xxxx.ġ01.28 - This category covers single and two seat amateur built aircraft constructed under the supervision of the Sports Aircraft Association of Australia (SAAA). ![]() It is, or was, essentially a category for two seat factory built training aircraft with similar flight characteristics to 95.10 aircraft although the category also permitted factory built single seat aircraft. 95.10 category ultralight aircraft carry the registration 10-xxxx.ĩ5.25 - This category has been superseded by 101.55, however ultralight aircraft built to this specification can still be obtained. There is no restriction on the number and type of engines, the flight control systems and the type of undercarriage. This category allow more freedom for the home builder than any other experimental category anywhere in the world and enjoys an excellent safety record. This class is for single seat home built non-certified aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) not exceeding 300kg and a wing loading of less than 30kg per square metre. The various groupings are:ĩ5.10 - This category is for the true enthusiast and the experimenter. In Australia ultralights are categorised into groups that are usually labelled with the title of the CAO under which they operate. Ultralights may be conventional three-axis aircraft, weight shift aircraft (trikes and powered hang gliders) or powered parachutes. It must have a maximum takeoff weight of less than 300 kilograms, in the case of a non-certified single seat aircraft that has been designed and built by the owner, less than 544 kilograms, in the case of amateur built and certified two seat aircraft and less than 600 kilograms in the case of light sports aircraft. An ultralight aircraft is generally restricted to a single engine and may have one or two seats. In Australia it is a powered aircraft intended to be operated for experimental, educational or recreational purposes and is registered with RA-Aus.
