Sport pilots may fly aircraft certificated in many of the experimental aircraft categories, including experimental amateur-built, experimental exhibition, and experimental light-sport aircraft.

Experimental amateur-built aircraft
Experimental amateur-built aircraft that meet the definition of an LSA may be flown by sport pilots. The aircraft is certificated as an experimental amateur-built aircraft and must be operated in accordance with the operating limitations given to the aircraft at the time it receives its airworthiness certification. It must be maintained and inspected in accordance with the maintenance requirements for amateur-built aircraft.

Experimental light-sport aircraft
Experimental light-sport aircraft (E-LSA) may also be flown by sport pilots. Before any aircraft can be sold as an E-LSA kit, the manufacturer must build one aircraft to completion in compliance with the consensus standards developed by the ASTM industry group and accepted by FAA. The aircraft must then be operated in accordance with the operating limitations given the aircraft at the time it receives its airworthiness certification. It must be maintained in accordance with the consensus standards. Its annual inspection may be conducted by an LSA repairman with an inspection rating, an LSA repairman with a maintenance rating, an airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanic, or other FAA-rated mechanic.

Ultralights
This lists also includes all ultralights, including weight-shift controlled aircraft (trikes) and powered parachutes, that are eligible to transition to experimental light-sport aircraft status. That transition must be completed no later than January 31, 2008.

NOTE: The following list is only of aircraft for which plans or a kit are currently available. Many older designs also qualify as LSA and may be available as in process projects or finished and flying.

Disclaimer: The manufacturers listed above may or may not choose to qualify aircraft under the proposed Light Sport Aircraft category. It is not certain all candidate aircraft can qualify.

U.S. importers are shown and the manufacturer name is shown in parentheses afterward. All listed imported brands are presumed to have U.S. market potential sufficient to allow them to justify the effort of certifying under Light Sport Aircraft. While Light Sport Aircraft allows two seats, some buyers will seek single seat light sport aircraft for performance and other reasons.
