Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Certification of 

Airmen for the Operation of LightSport Aircraft 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection. This collection involves the 

submission of forms and other reporting 

and recordkeeping activities. The 

information to be collected is necessary 

to ensure compliance with regulations 

governing the manufacture and 

certification of light-sport aircraft, the 

training and certification of light-sport 

pilots and instructors, and the 

certification of light-sport aircraft 

Designated Pilot Examiners. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by October 26, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA 

at the following address: Barbara Hall, 

Federal Aviation Administration, ASP–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0690. 

Title: Certification of Airmen for the 

Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft. 

Form Numbers: FAA form 8130–15, 

8710–11, 8710–12. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Background: On July 27, 2004, the 

FAA published a final rule, Certification 

of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation 

of Light-Sport Aircraft (69 FR 44771). 

That rule generated a need for new 

designated pilot examiners and 

designated airworthiness 

representatives to support the 

certification of new light-sport aircraft, 

pilots, flight instructors, and ground 

instructors. 

This information collection requires 

applicants for certification as sport 

pilots to complete FAA form 8710–11, 

log training, take and pass a knowledge 

test, and requires organizations to 

develop and maintain training courses 

for sport pilots. The total of sport pilot 

applicants is estimated to be 500, with 

a burden of 3,400 hours. In addition, 

applications for certification as sport 

pilot instructors are required to take and 

pass a knowledge test, submit to a flight 

review, and purchase a training course. 

This affects an estimated 40 applicants, 

with a total annual burden of 120 hours. 

This collection also requires lightsport aircraft owners and manufacturers 

to submit FAA form 8130–15, which is 

used to process an applicant’s request to 

obtain a Special Airworthiness 

certificate for Light Sport Aircraft. FAA 

Airworthiness inspectors and 

designated inspectors review the 

required data submissions to determine 

that aviation products and their 

manufacturing facilities comply with 

ASTM requirements, and that the 

products have no unsafe features. The 

FAA estimates that approximately 297 

respondents are required to complete 

FAA form 8130–15, with a total annual 

burden of 99 hours. 

Finally, this collection requires 

applicants for the authorities and 

privileges of Designated Pilot Examiners 

to submit FAA form 8710–12, LightSport Standardization Board-Designated 

Pilot Examiner Candidate Application. 

The FAA uses the form to obtain 

essential information concerning the 

applicants’ professional and personal 

qualifications, and to screen and select 

the designees who act as representatives 

of the Administrator in performing 

various certification and examination 

functions. The FAA estimates a total of 

20 respondents per year, with a total 

annual burden of 10 hours. 

Respondents: Manufacturers, aircraft 

owners, pilots, flight instructors with a 

sport pilot rating, and maintenance 

personnel. 

Frequency: Information is collected 

on occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Applicants for certification as 

sport pilots: 500 applicants; 

approximately 7 hours per applicant. 

Applicants for certification as sport 

pilot instructors: 40 applicants; 

approximately 3 hours per applicant. 

Applicants for Special Airworthiness 

Certificate for Light-Sport Aircraft: 297 

applicants; approximately 1⁄3 hour per 

response. Applicants for certification as 

Designated Pilot Examiners: 20 

applicants; approximately 1⁄2 hour per 

response. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

Sport pilot applicants: 3,400 hours. 

Sport pilot instructor applicants: 120 

hours. Special Light-Sport 

Airworthiness certification applicants: 

99 hours. Designated Pilot Examiner 

applicants: 10 hours. Total burden: 

3,629.
