Light sport aircraft (LSAs) have revolutionized recreational flying by offering an affordable and accessible way to get into the air.
According to the FAA, LSAs are defined by a maximum gross takeoff weight of 1,320 pounds (or 1,430 pounds for seaplanes), a maximum stall speed of 45 knots, and a top speed of 120 knots in level flight. Their simple design and ease of operation make them a great fit for both new pilots and experienced aviators looking for fewer restrictions.
