FAA Approves Terrafugia Petition For Exemption

The Transition Roadable Aircraft Will Be Allowed To Operate At A MTOW Of 1,800 Pounds The FAA has approved a Petition for Exemption filed in 2014 allowing a vehicle in the Transition street-legal airplane configuration to be certified as a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) with a maximum takeoff weight of 1,800 pounds. This is a significant increase over the allowance received in 2010 which granted the Transition a 1,430 pound weight limit, the same as currently imposed on amphibious LSA.
