Hi folks -
I just read this on another list-serve.

06/22/06 - Sport Pilot Knowledge Test Now
Class-Specific
EAA Announcement
Effective June 23, 2006, the FAA has modified the
sport pilot knowledge (written) test. Previously, the
knowledge test covered all classes of light-sport
aircraft (LSA). Now, each LSA class—airplane, powered
parachute, weight-shift, glider, lighter-than-air, and
gyroplanes—has a test tailored specifically to that
class.
"Individuals flying powered parachute and
weight-shift-control aircraft will like this," said
Larry Clymer, manager of the FAA's Light-Sport
Aviation Branch in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. "Now, they
won't have to answer airplane-type questions that
don't apply to their aircraft. For example, powered
parachute pilots won't get questions about weight and
balance because that doesn't apply to them. And
airplane pilots won't have to answer questions about
powered parachute canopies."
All FAA-approved testing centers, including EAA
partner LaserGrade, are prepared to offer the new
class-specific knowledge tests. For a link to the FAA
website to view sample knowledge test questions, or

pilot website.
