EAA has learned that FAA Administrator Jane Garvey officially approved the Sport Pilot/Light Sport Airplane proposal and that final preparations are being made for its delivery to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
"It’s been signed by the Administrator," said Sport Pilot Project Manager Sue Gardner on May 22. She added that final preparations are being made before it is delivered to the DOT.
