Default LSA CFI Airspace and Speed restrictions

I see the problem as one of an air traffic controller seeing an LSA in
his airspace. the pilot is not identified to him and may not have the
training to equip him to fly safely in the airspace. danger danger
will robinson! enact the safety drills for violations of controlled
airspace....which would be an unnecessary inconvenience to all
concerned.

as a CFI I think that if you are endorsed to exercise the exemptions
that these aircraft fly under then you are right to go, but how would
any other airspace user know this?

I'd either visit the tower or phone them to explain the situation and
introduce myself before flying in.
the "or are otherwise authorised" section in australian practise is
there to cater for direct approvals by a tower for known locals.

Keep in mind ATC has not a clue that a particular aircraft or pilot is an
LSA or not. My Zenith 601XL will be LSA legal but isn't certificated under
LSA rules. Same goes for a Piper. It isn't going to be a matter of ATC
saying, "Oh there's an Light Sport. I wonder if the pilot has class B
authorization or is a private pilot."
