2. Member participation from around the world is what makes ASTM a truly international standards development organization. ASTM opens its doors to all interested individuals and organizations from around the globe that want to participate in the Society's consensus process for standards development. This process ensures that all interested parties have an equal vote in determining a standard's content. ASTM's enduring philosophy of consensus without borders helps make ASTM responsive and relevant to the needs of the global marketplace. As a result, more than 40 percent of ASTM's standards are sold outside the United States.

Utilization of new informational technologies
8. Purpose:
To support regulatory standards needs
Within 20 months [of May 2004] provide increase in safety by defining standards for regulatory reference addressing LSA presently operating without guidance
Set world standards for recreational aircraft operations
9. Implementation / Phases to Achieve:
1. Standardize minimum safety, performance, and flight proficiency requirements
2. Install standard controls for QA - ensuring aircraft conform to design criteria
3. Support QA with acceptance tests / procedures requiring completed aircraft to meet reported performance
4. Roadmap the future of LSA by developing additional standards that continue to build a safe LSA environment beyond those initially envisioned
5. Maintain currency and relevancy of standards

26. The standard sets out the duties of both the manufacturer and the owner/operator of a LSA as it relates to continued operational safety.
The standard sets out a method for determining when a manufacturer may issue a “mandatory” bulletin.
If the issue does not qualify for a mandatory bulletin, then the standard allows for two other types of non-mandatory notices to be issued.
27. SAFETY ALERT for notifications that require immediate action. (FAA final rule asked for this term to be changed to “SAFETY DIRECTIVE”)
SERVICE BULLETIN for notifications that do not require immediate action but do recommend future action.
NOTIFICATION for notifications that do not necessarily recommend future action but are primarily for promulgation of continued airworthiness information; e.g. revisions to the maintenance manual.
28. Operational Safety Risk Assessment Procedure
Used to determine appropriate corrective action based on level of safety effect and safety risk factor.

33. Each aircraft shall include a handbook
All flight speeds will be in CAS
34. Only the manufacturer can approve major repairs and alterations on Special Light Sport Aircraft (NO FAA involvement, NO 337’s)
Manufacturer must provide all instructions and specifically designate who can perform the change.
Manufacturer, NOT the FAR’s, provides instructions on how to document change in the aircraft records.
35. ASTM LSA Standards as used by
Civil Aviation Authorities
36. No production certificate or type certificate is used in this system.
Compliance is enforced on an
as-needed basis. (So far)
37. 37 The definition of LSA is slightly different than FAA. For instance, CASA defines LSA as having a max stall speed of 45kts at gross and a Vne of no more than 135kts. There is no max cruise speed.
CASA has not created any airman certificates specifically to match LSA.
