type-certificated aircraft is the paperwork requirements usually are
straightforward. Today, it’s highly
likely less-complicated avionics
come with a supplemental type certificate and/or approved model list
even the most reluctant FSDO will
accept. But if your customer flies
an S-LSA, a factory-built light sport
aircraft, things can get complicated.
This is because there’s no such thing
as an STC for LSAs, thanks to the
rules under which the aircraft are
made and marketed.
Light-sport aircraft are designed
and manufactured to comply with the
ASTM standards defining their characteristics and operation. The FAA
monitors S-LSA manufacturers to ensure initial and ongoing compliance,
but that’s about it. Instead, much
of what happens in the field is the
purview of the S-LSA manufacturer
itself, which answers the question of
whether and how an S-LSA may be
legally altered. As stated in Flight
Design USA’s Maintenance and Inspection Procedures Manual for its
popular CTSW S-LSA, “Unauthorized modifications, including the fitting of optional electrical equipment,
must not be carried out under any
circumstances without official modification authorizations issued by the
factory.”
When contemplating the paperwork requirements of adding to or
replacing an S-LSA’s equipment,
the first place to look is the manufacturer’s maintenance manual. If
the desired equipment or work to be
performed is described in the manual
– for example, replacing standardequipment radios with listed optional
equipment – no further paperwork
