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: 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 light-sport 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, Light-Sport 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: 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.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 1, 2022.
