ASTM F3829-26 — Light-Sport Powerplant Systems

Installation and system requirements

F3829-26 covers the aircraft powerplant and propulsion-system design scope for light-sport aircraft. The FAA powered-lift table references it under several requirements, including propulsion-system compliance.

A component's published performance or a motor test alone does not demonstrate compliance of the complete aircraft installation. Use the standard with relevant electric-engine, propeller and energy-storage documents identified by the accepted integration framework.

This summary uses the official catalogue scope and FAA table. No aircraft or engine approval is implied by listing the standard.
