Back on 17 January, I said the following:
"Once a year, there are nationwide training sessions for IA's, which are used
as a basis for the continuance of our IA. One of the better ones is in the
Dallas area. It covers questions IAs are having in the field: areas of
conflicting guidance, and areas of no guidance. It also usually covers
signifcant general aviation crashes of the year, and what really happened.
I submitted my questions about LSA maintenance and certification issues to the
people who conduct that training session. I was told that they would try to
create a session to address these issues, and clarify the FAA position.
Assuming that happens, I'm going to request permission to make the LSA part
of the presentation available to this list. "
===========================================================
The presentation was last Saturday. Thanks to the kindness of the presenter, Mel Asberry, and the representative of the firm that puts on the seminar, Lucky Louque, I have permission to post the LSA portion of the seminar . The FAA was present for the presentation, and voiced no corrections.
Unfortunately, the presentation was large enough that I was unable to email it to the Matronics list for inclusion in the file repository there. I've placed it on my web site, where I can ftp to my heart's content, as long as I pay the bill. If has the means to move it to the Matronics site, they are welcome to do so, as that's probably where it really needs to be. Meanwhile, it may be found at:

==========================================================
There was considerable interest amongst the IAs present. In fact, this presentation resulted in more questions in the question and answer session than any of the others.
Most IAs and A&Ps really don't know how to address LSA maintenance, because the ground rules are so different from amateur built or type certificated aircraft. I am left with the feeling that the LSA issue is still evolving, and that the FAA is likely to make changes in the process of sorting things out.
