Light Sport Aircraft Pilot is a directory of aircraft that generally fit into what are described as ultralight aircraft, advanced ultralight aircraft, light sport aircraft, experimental light sport aircraft, experimental aircraft, amateur built aircraft, ELSA or homebuilt aircraft in the United States and Canada. These include weight shift aircraft, more commonly known as trikes, powered parachutes, and powered para-gliders.

Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook (FAA-H-8083-1A).pdf

Weight and balance, two of the most important factors affecting flight safety, are thoroughly discussed in this official FAA handbook.

Indispensable for those responsible for aircraft weight distribution?the engineers, designers, pilots, and aviation maintenance technicians?this guide clearly explains how to correctly determine the weight and center of gravity for any type of aircraft, including the new light-sport aircraft (LSA) and very light jet (VLJ) categories.

Many test questions for the FAA Knowledge Exams for pilots come directly from this colorful, fully indexed guide.
