I know more than most on the subject, but what is your specific question? At the moment, you are a bit vague.

The CAA for example produce factors of safety for light aircraft takeoff and landing operations.Are these more specific to older generation light GA aircraft? Say I fly a Tecnam P2002, are these applicable to <450Kg very light aircraft? If not, are there any out there produced for this class and by who?
cheers,

I know that it applies to all microlights. Those are BMAA documents, and since they have large fleets of both, they'd have said if they intended them to be treated differently.
