Searey LSX
Overview
The SeaRey LSX is an amateur-built light amphibious aircraft associated with Progressive Aerodyne’s SeaRey family. The FAA’s National Kit Evaluation Team lists the SeaRey LSX assembly manual among evaluated amateur-built kits, providing an official reference for the aircraft’s kit-built identity. The LSX combines land and water operating capability in a compact recreational aircraft configuration. Because kit-built aircraft can differ in engine installation, equipment and finished empty weight, specifications should be recorded from a defined LSX configuration rather than inferred from another SeaRey model. This profile therefore keeps unverified engine and performance fields blank until a suitable manufacturer manual, FAA record or other authoritative source is attached.
