Jim Meade Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I know that Carol and Bryan Carpenter use the term LSMR-A and said in the class I took a dozen years ago that the FAA recognized that abbreviation. I assume it means Light Sport Maintenance Repairman-Airplane. I have always used the abbreviation RLSA-A: It is the abbreviation for the title on my FAA certificate that says I am a Repairman Light Sport Aircraft-Airplane/Glider (since I have the glider add-on rating). Where did LSRM-A come from specifically, does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassStripFlyBoy Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 The abbreviation follows the class / rating one obtains. Rainbow offers two classes, the LSR Inspection 2-day class which uses the "I" for last letter, and the 16 day LSR Maintenance class likewise follows with the M. Now obviously both classes allow one to do maintenance on the category of aircraft of class, or add on, as you're aware. The primary difference is the "I" is purely LSA Experimental owned by the rating holder. Where the M allows one to work on any LSA and for compensation.

Jim Meade Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I sent Carol an email. Let's see what she says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Meade Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Carol said the initials LSRM-(class, such as airplane, glider, etc) was suggested by the FAA Light Sport Branch years ago. She didn't cite a document that establishes those initials. She said "The sign off just needs your rating, your limitation, and class of training, your certificate number and your name," Reading from the back of my certificate, it says: XII RATINGS REPAIRMAN LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT XIII LIMITATIONS MAINTENANCE: AIRPLANE, GLIDER That infers to me that when I inspect my FD CTSW I can sign off as: RLSA/M-A 2178898 James N Meade and that is what I intend to do. If anyone asks me what it stands for I'll haul out my certificate and let them read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
