The Skycar 100 LS is designed to be registered under the FAA’s Light Sport Aviation (LSA) category. This will allow operation by a pilot with a Sport Plane certificate, rather than and conventional (expensive) pilot’s license. The Skycar’s design incorporates multiple redundancies and safety features and its Flight Control System (FCS) virtually eliminates the complexities of flying, ensuring that even a novice operator can master the skills needed to maintain precise control over the aircraft.
