FAA's MOSAIC Rule: Revolutionizing Personal Aviation
2025-07-27
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is revolutionizing light-sport aircraft (LSA) with its Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) rule. This deregulation significantly expands the LSA category, allowing for larger, faster, and more advanced aircraft, including helicopters and eVTOLs. Lowering the barrier to entry will spur innovation and potentially revitalize personal aviation. Crucially, by manipulating the safety continuum, MOSAIC aims to improve overall aviation safety by incentivizing pilots to upgrade to safer LSAs. While this might appear to lower safety standards in the short term, it's designed to foster innovation, ultimately leading to a safer aviation industry in the long run.
