Are vans aircraft safe?
At Van’s, we emphasize and take great pride in the strong culture of safety that permeates the RV community. The statistics speak for themselves: For many years the flying RV fleet has beat the safety record of experimental aviation as a whole, and our safety record as a community has been continuously improving.
What is an SLSA aircraft?
The Special Light Sport Aircraft (SLSA) designation is assigned to Light Sport airplanes that are factory-built to FAA-accepted industry standards, in this case the ASTM standard governing the category.
