and is compliant with the requirements of the FAA Light Sport Aircraft
(LSA) category according to ASTM Standards F2245, F2279 and F2295.
The aircrafts design is based on ASTM 2245 certification standards and
has a maximum all up weight of 600kg (1,320lb). The design has been

revised Pilot Operating Handbook, the aircraft may be made to comply
with the requirements of the EASA

The Sling LSA is primarily intended for recreational and cross-country

suitable for use as a trainer. This Pilot Operating Handbook has been
prepared to provide pilots with information for the safe and effective
operation of the Sling LSA.
