Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION:
Notification of Availability (NOA).
SUMMARY:
This document announces the availability of ASTM International (ASTM) consensus standards for use as an FAA-accepted means of compliance (MOC) to support issuance of special airworthiness certificates for the categories of light-sport category aircraft and light-sport category kit-built aircraft described herein. The FAA accepts the following ASTM standards (with changes identified in this document): F3815-26a, “Standard Specification for Integration for Light Sport Airplane,” F3836-26, “Standard Specification for Integration for Light Sport Glider,” F3840-26,[1] “Standard Specification for Integration for Light Sport Powered-Lift and Multicopter,” and F3841-26, “Standard Specification for Integration for Light Sport Gyroplane”. FAA's acceptance of these ASTM integration standards as an MOC includes FAA's acceptance of the underlying ASTM functional standards as set forth Tables 1-8 herein. The FAA will maintain a listing of FAA accepted MOCs for light-sport category aircraft on the FAA's Light-Sport Category Aircraft web page at https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport.
DATES:
Acceptance of these MOC is effective on July 16, 2026. Comments must be received on or before August 17, 2026.

Footnotes
1. The ASTM Standard F3840-26 is intended to serve as an MOC for both powered-lift and multicopters, but at this time FAA is only accepting it as an MOC for powered-lift light-sport category aircraft.
4. The FAA previously accepted ASTM F2930-16, Standard Guide for Compliance with Light Sport Aircraft Standards (s ee82 FR 16271, April 3, 2017). F2930-16 is not referenced in the F3815-26a, F3836-26, F3840-26, or F3841-26 integration standards and is not being accepted by this NOA. While F2930-16 is not required for compliance with the regulations discussed in this NOA, that standard may continue to be used for reference purposes only.
12. See the discussion in footnote 5.
13. See the discussion in footnote 6.
14. ASTM F3841-26, the integration standard for gyroplanes, unintentionally omitted F3835-25 as a functional standard for § 22.110 in Table A1.1. F3835-26 is part of the MOC for § 22.110.
15. The gyroplane integration standard, ASTM F3841, unintentionally listed F3737-25 as a functional standard for § 22.195 in Table A1.1. of that integration standard. F3737-25 is not required as part of the MOC for § 22.195.
