S-LSA DARs
The Special Light-Sport Aircraft (S-LSA) FAA Designated Airworthiness Representatives (DARs) are appointed by the FAA to inspect and certify transitioning ultralight trainers and kit-built LSA aircraft. See FAR 21.190 for further information about qualifying LSA aircraft.

S-LSA DARs are issued FAA Function Code 48, which authorizes them to “issue recurrent/original and replacement special airworthiness certificates, for U.S. registered light-sport category aircraft and special flight permits for light-sport category aircraft production flight-test operations.”

S-LSA DAR Directory
To locate an S-LSA DAR to inspect your completed aircraft project, click on the state link, then locate and select an S-LSA DAR closest to your home.

Note: The below S-LSA DAR directory information is obtained directly from the FAA DAR Directory, dated 6/20/06. EAA acknowledges that not all FAA DARs with Function Code 48 are listed within this EAA directory. The FAA’s Flight Standards Division maintains an additional S-LSA DAR directory.

Note: The S-LSA DAR may be limited in the classes of aircraft he/she may be able to inspect and certify. This information is contained within the limitations column in the DAR Directory listed below.

FW = Fixed Wing aircraft

GLD = Glider

BAL = Balloon

HEL = Helicopter

PPL = Powered Lift

GYP = Gyroplane

PPC = Powered Parachute

WSC = Weight Shift Control

None = may inspect all classes and complexities of ELSA aircraft

EAA Volunteer DAR = S-LSA DARs are FAA DARs who have volunteered to provide their certification services to other EAA members for a reduced cost, usually only the actual expenses incurred such as, traveling to and from the location of your aircraft, meals, hotel expenses, etc.

Note: EAA strongly recommends you contact one of the EAA Volunteer S-LSA DARs as your first step in preparing to get your special light-sport aircraft inspected and certificated by the FAA. The EAA Volunteer S-LSA DAR’s are listed below (their names are BOLDED in the below state-by-state directory) with the states they are authorized to inspect and certify S-LSA in, the * indicates the S-LSA DAR’s home state.

EAA Member Recommended DAR = S-LSA DARs whose past services have been highly appreciated by other EAA members, who now wish to recommend them to other EAA members.

Note: After having your aircraft inspected, if you would like to recommend the S-LSA DAR to other EAA members, please let us know at govt@eaa.org or 888-322-4636 ext. 6522.

Note: If you contact an S-LSA DAR in this directory and he/she no longer does inspections on special light-sport aircraft or they don’t inspect your type (complexity, class, etc.) of aircraft, please let us know. Only by your direct involvement in maintaining this directory can we keep it current.

Note: Complexity is defined as using the following examples of construction material: Metal, tube and fabric, composite, wood, or tube and sail.

TIP: If you’re going to print the directory, we recommend you change it to the landscape print mode.
