The Special LSA certificate was granted on January 15. It indicates that the Transition is “manufactured to the applicable FAA accepted consensus standards” – not to full production standards. Terrafugia says that it completed 80 days of flight testing with the Transition, delivered 150 technical documents to the FAA, and successfully passed the FAA audit.
Terrafugia vice president and general manager, Kevin Colburn, stresses that the FAA was hands-on with the aircraft as well. “They [FAA] came to our facility, went through our quality system, talked to our personnel and made two inspections of the vehicle.”
