Standard Specification for Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for Light Sport Airplane
Standard Specification for Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for Light Sport Airplane
SCOPE 1.1 This specification provides the minimum requirements for a Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for an aircraft designed, manufactured, and operated as a light sport aircraft. 1.2 This specification defines the POH information that shall be provided by the aircraft manufacturer of a new airplane or airplane kit as a part of the initial sale or transfer to the first-end user. Note 1: The POH may also be referred to as an Aircraft Operating Instruction (AOI). However, POH is considered the approved nomenclature. 1.3 This specification applies to an airplane seeking civil aviation authority approval, in the form of flight certificates, flight permits, or other like documentation as a light sport aircraft. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
ASTM F2746-14(2023) - Standard Specification for Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for Light Sport Airplane establishes the minimum requirements for a Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH), also known as Aircraft Operating Instruction (AOI), specific to light sport aircraft (LSA). This standard defines the essential information that manufacturers must provide in the POH at the initial sale or transfer of a new light sport airplane or kit, ensuring vital operating, limitation, and safety information is available to pilots and regulatory authorities. Developed under the auspices of ASTM International, this specification aligns with international principles set by the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
