## Abstract

This action confirms the effective date of the final rule published on January 3, 2011. The final rule amends the definition of light-sport aircraft by removing "auto" from the term "autofeathering" as it applies to powered gliders. This amendment will allow both manual and autofeathering propeller operation for powered gliders that qualify as light-sport aircraft.
