Notice for LSAs With in-fligh Adjustable Prop

[Admin]

NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT FITTED WITH IN-FLIGHT ADJUSTABLE PROPELLERS

 

During a recent CASA audit of RAAus aircraft files it was discovered that many Light Sport aircraft (LSA) are fitted with in-flight adjustable propellers that do not comply with elements of the certificate of compliance. At present there are standards acceptable to CASA for these propellers which allow them to be fitted to Light Sport aircraft but so far no manufacturer has listed an approved standard in the appropriate section of the signed statement of compliance required for LSA.

 

If you own or operate a Light Sport aircraft fitted with an in-flight adjustable propeller please contact the RAAus Technical Consultant on 0408 351 309 for further advice.
