Rotax 912-Class Light-Sport (LSA) POH & manuals

Light-sport aircraft are certificated to ASTM consensus standards, not an FAA type certificate, which makes the manufacturer's POH the controlling document. The upside: LSA builders post current manuals far more openly than legacy GA manufacturers do.

These documents are for reference and study. Editions, serial ranges, and revision levels vary, and none of these copies carries your airplane's weight and balance or equipment list. The current POH or AFM in your aircraft governs every flight.

Handbooks by variant

Open the variant that matches your airplane's model year and serial range. If you are between two of them, read both title pages before you trust a number.

Flight Design CT2K / CTSW / CTLS4 docs

Carbon airframe, Rotax 912ULS, and a stick-force feel that surprises pilots stepping out of a 172. Flap positions and crosswind numbers are specific to each CT generation.

Tecnam P92 / P2002 / P20084 docs

Metal or mixed-construction Rotax singles, and the one manufacturer in this directory that posts a real flight manual with no login at all.

The FAA handbooks are public domain and free, and chapter 10 of the PHAK is the clearest explanation of what each POH section is supposed to tell you. See the FAA handbook list →
