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. Stealth Pilot 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." |
