1.1 This specification covers airworthiness requirements for the design of a powered or non-powered fixed wing light sport aircraft, a “glider.”
1.2 This specification is applicable to the design of a light sport aircraft glider as defined by regulations and limited to day VFR flight.
1.3 A glider for the purposes of this specification is defined as a heavier than air aircraft that remains airborne through the dynamic reaction of the air with a fixed wing and in which the ability to remain aloft in free flight does not depend on the propulsion from a power plant. A powered glider is defined for the purposes of this specification as a glider equipped with a power plant in which the flight characteristics are those of a glider when the power plant is not in operation.
