Question: Is it a LSA or an LSA?

I can see "a" ...for a Light Sport Aircraft

But here, is it "an" ...for an (L)SA as in elephant?

Curious. My eyes see it one way, my ears hear it another.

Never met a comma I didn't like.

It is the sound that matters.

A or An.
Use an in place of a when it precedes a vowel sound, not just a vowel. That
means it's "an honor" (the h is silent), but "a UFO" (because it's
pronounced yoo eff oh). This confuses people most often with acronyms and
other abbreviations: some people think it's wrong to use "an" in front of an
abbreviation (like "MRI") because "an" can only go before vowels. Poppycock:
the sound is what matters. It's "an MRI," assuming you pronounce it "em ar
eye."
