In this video shot in September 2011, LAMA president Dan Johnson discusses the ASTM certification used to certify Light-Sport Aircraft. Specially, the industry organization is encouraging manufacturers to show evidence of their annual internal audit to openly demonstrate that not only are LSA fun and worthy aircraft but they meet a high level of quality. The subject is a little dry but very important.

Come with us and have a look at this handsome aircraft with the snazzy auto-style interior.
