4、ines, 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 powered parachute aircraftseeking civil aviation authority approval
5、, in the form of flightcertificates, flight permits, 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-priate safety and health practices and de
6、termine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 powered parachute, naircraft comprised of a flex-ible or semi-rigid wing connected to a fuselage in such a waythat the wing is not in position for flight until the aircraft is inmotion. This aircra
7、ft has a fuselage with seats, engine, andwheels (or floats), such that the wing and engine cannot beflown without the wheels (or floats) and seat(s). Unique to thepowered parachute is the large displacement between thecenter of lift (high) and the center of gravity (low), which ispendulum effect. Pe
8、ndulum effect limits angle of attackchanges, provides stall resistance and maintains flight stability.3. 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 Req
9、uirements4.1 The information given shall be included where appli-cable on the information plate as specified in 4.2. 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
10、aircraft.4.2 Information PlateA manufacturer-issued fire proofinformation plate, printed in English or as 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 rem
11、ainlegible for the expected life of the aircraft. The informationplate shall be made of steel, and have the 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, i
12、ncluding the name of themanufacturers city, state, and country.4.2.3 Model NumberA manufacturer-issued unique iden-tifying 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
13、manufacturer that the aircraft met hisrequired design and manufacturing specifications.5. Aircraft Operating Instructions5.1 Each light sport aircraft must include an Aircraft Oper-ating Instructions which includes:5.1.1 Operating LimitationsThe instructions shall includelistings of all appropriate
