What type of warranty will be offered with the A5?
ICON will be releasing details on the warranty program prior to first customer shipments. ICON expects to offer an industry-standard warranty package that includes parts and labor for a period of time after delivery, with options such as extended period and increased support levels also available.
Has ICON announced a product support organization?
Not at this time; however, a complete customer support network to include authorized A5 Service Centers will be established prior to customer deliveries.
Who may perform S-LSA maintenance?
Service may be performed by any mechanic who holds a Light Sport Repairman Certificate or by a certified Airframe & Power plant (A&P) mechanic who has manufacturer authorization. A&P mechanics are available across the USA at most airports where airplane maintenance is currently offered.
Can an owner perform maintenance on their own LSA?
Yes, with the proper training. The FAA recognized the simple nature of Light Sport Aircraft and created a new certification program to train and license mechanics specifically for Light Sport Aircraft. Now, LSA owners can take an FAA mechanic training course and be certified in as little as three weeks. Owners can also be trained in weekend courses to do inspections called Annual Condition Inspection.
