High wing.
This is in Costa Rica and its an international airport.
They say the LSA has to be certified by the FAA
No Exoerimentals allowed either just certified so the tower can have official performance of the plane by FAA, cruise speed, aproches ect.
Thanks I already saw that list but dont like any of those planes, I wanted something more like a Kitfox or CH750 or 701
Costa Rica regulations only accept USA FAA certified planes.
No other countries (I tried from Colombia who makes the Savannah)
I'd tell the airport thanks for their input,..walk away ,..go find a flat field and rent a section 500 foot long by 100 foot wide put up a portable hangar. fly what you want...problem solved

acording to the FAA..Costa Rica doesn't have an IFIM for the public view..where did you get the info on the type aircraft Costa Rica will or will not allow?
If it's an issue of the approach speed's and such like you say,..why can't they allow you to provide that,..if your going to be based at that particular airport..
this is right from the FAA site (quote)
<LI sizset="91" sizcache="7">Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP)
I'd want to see it in writing myself as to what plane I could or could not fly in Costa Rica.
- The IFIM staff is not aware of a free-access Aeronautical Information Publication website for this country (Costa Rica)

there's 97 manufacturers on the bydanjohnson list,..there has to be something compatable to a persons needs with in it.

motoadve,
Did you know that Kitfox makes an SLSA? It's an FAA certified manufactured LSA - not experimental. The same great handling as the experimental version, but all you've got to do is pick up the keys and fly it home. Your search is over!

I guess the question is - what does your airport consider a "certified" LSA?Since all SLSA are issued a 'statement of compliance with industry standards' rather than a 'type' certificate, your search may be limited to aircraft such as Aeroncas, Luscombes, Pipers, and Ercoupes.
If they're looking for 'factory built' or 'not home-built', then the SLSA could suit your needs.

Seems to be I will be limited to those planes they want FAA certified planes only, like the Aeroncas, Luscombes, Pipers, and Ercoupes.
And I dont like them much, will they be more fun than a Cessna 182?
The airport is located at 5,500 feet with hot humid weather so need something with some hp to be able to fly.
