This was the purpose of LSA, to “self certify” and not have to pay millions for CASA to certify it, flight test it etc and therefore produce a cheaper aircraft to allow GA flying schools to buy them and to be able to level the playing field and allow them to compete with RA-Aus flying schools.
To an extent, it has worked... but at whose expense?
