Aircraft Registration: SFP LSA

The Aircraft Registration page allows you to initiate a new application for a Special Flight Permit - Light-Sport Aircraft (SFP LSA). If applying for an SFP LSA, you can access this page by clicking the Special Flight Permit link under Create Application on the My AWC page, selecting Production Flight Test and Light-Sport Aircraft on the SFP Questionnaire page, and clicking Save & Next. The Aircraft Registration page displays.

At the top of the FAA header, Help, User Guide, and References links are displayed in the right corner along with a Signout link. The Help link opens page-specific help for the current page. The User Guide link opens the Airworthiness Certification Applicant User Guide, which is the secondary resource for Airworthiness Certification Applicant Portal application user procedures and reference information. The References link opens a page allowing you to access FAA reference data relevant to Airworthiness Certification. The Signout link logs you out of the application and takes you to the System Use Notice. At the bottom of the FAA header, your name displays right justified along with a Person icon (); clicking the icon displays a pop-up screen with a list of the roles assigned to you.

The title bar showing the application name, "Airworthiness Certification (AWC) - Applicant Portal," displays at the top of the page below the standard FAA page header. The Airworthiness Certification application navigation top-level menu displays just below the title bar and contains the links that provide access to the Airworthiness Certification commands, or functions: My AWC, Search, Reports and My Profile.
