WHAT IS AN LSRI?
Training built around real aircraft ownership.
An inspection-rated repairman (light-sport) certificate may allow a qualifying owner to perform the annual condition inspection on eligible experimental light-sport and experimental amateur-built aircraft they own, subject to their category/class privileges and the aircraft's operating limitations.
EMIT training covers applicable regulations, inspection procedures, documentation, recordkeeping, and practical aircraft-inspection knowledge.
Training alone does not grant inspection privileges. Applicants must meet FAA requirements, complete an FAA-accepted course and test, and receive the appropriate certificate. Aircraft operating limitations can also affect authorization.
