Interesting question. My best guess is that it would not be permitted to
fly under IFR at night; because the Rotax 912 is not certified to a

not even guess.


The Rotax 912S is fully FAR 33 certificated. It's only the ULS that isn't
(and has a limitation for day VFR only in its manual).

Not all LSAs use the Rotax, however. That's one big reason I went with the
Zodiac: it uses a bog standard O-200-A.


OK, that answers one question of my previous post. I still wonder how the
LSA process can give higher approval than the limitations of said
classification.
