You might be tempted and just ask the import agent who sold you the aircraft or you mate who already operates one and be tempted to believe them rather than dig a little deeper.

Light Sport Aircraft are not exempt from compliance with any applicable AD's. You might think that by going to a site like the RAA Inc's you will get the answer. You will certainly get the good oil on OEM SB's etc but AD's, sorry but you will not get the full story. You really do need to go to the CASA web site and do a little searching/reading.

In particular don't forget those nasty "GENERAL" ADs. Then there's the INSTRUMENT, RADIO & ELECTRICAL ADs. All need careful review.

Would you like a neat little tool to help you in your search for the truth. Send me an email (sales@ptaaus.com.au) and for a small donation to my retirement fund I will post you out a CD with a neat little data base on it that does the dead for you. CD includes a Users guide on the dB and should you need it a special program to allow the dB to run if you are not running MSOffice Professional/MSACCESS
