This specification includesAircraft Operating Instructions (AOI) and Flight TrainingSupplement (FTS) requirements for aircraft that were designedand manufactured in accordance with ASTM Standards.1.1.1 This specification covers the minimum requirementsfor information that shall be provided by the

4、manufacturer orseller of new light sport aircraft, engines, or propellers as a partof the initial sale or transfer to the first-end user.1.1.2 This specification does not apply to the sale or transferof used light sport aircraft, engines, or propellers.1.2 This specification applies to aircraft seek

5、ing civil avia-tion authority approval, in the form of flight certificates, flightpermits, or other like documentation.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-pri

6、ate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 weight-shift-control, npowered aircraft with aframed pivoting wing and a fuselage, controllable only in pitchand roll by the pilots ability to change the aircra

7、fts center ofgravity with respect to the wing. Flight control of the aircraftdepends on the wings ability to flexibly deform rather than theuse of control surfaces.2.2 Acronyms:2.2.1 AOIaircraft operating instructions2.2.2 FTSflight training supplement2.2.3 MIPmaintenance and inspection procedures3.

8、 Significance and Use3.1 The purpose of this specification is to provide theminimum information necessary for the proper identificationand operation of each light sport aircraft.4. Information Requirements4.1 The information given shall be included where appli-cable on the information plate as speci

In addition,the documented operating and maintenance instructions speci-fied in Sections 5 and 6 are to be furnished by the manufactureror seller at the time of initial sale of each aircraft.4.2 Information PlateA manufacturer-issued fire proofinformation plate, printed in English or as

10、 defined by thegoverning civil aviation authority or agency in which theaircraft was initially sold, shall be permanently affixed to theaircraft in a visible location and shall be designed to remainlegible for the expected life of the aircraft. The informationplate shall be made of steel and have th

11、e required informationeither stamped or engraved onto the plate.4.2.1 Serial NumberA manufacturer-issued unique iden-tifying number or code affixed to the aircraft.4.2.2 Name and Manufacturer, including the name of themanufacturers city, state, and country.4.2.3 ModelA manufacturer-issued unique ide

12、ntifyingname, number or code assigned to each manufactured type ofaircraft having the same structural design or components.4.2.4 Date of ManufactureThe date (month and year)determined by the manufacturer that the aircraft met hisrequired design and manufacturing specifications.4.2.5 Markings and Pla

13、cards:4.2.5.1 The aircraft must be marked with the followingplacard: The aircraft operating instructions must be carriedwith the aircraft. Occupants must be familiar with informationnecessary for safe operation.4.2.5.2 Each marking and placard must be displayed in aconspicuous place and may not be e
