Submissions on Next-Gen LSA Rules Accepted Until 01/22/24

The EAA has helped aviators weigh in on the FAA's proposed MOSAIC changes ahead of the January 22nd cutoff, publishing a guide to draft effective comments.

The body will put forth some comments of its own regarding the proposed changes, but individual concerns and logical tacks can only really be had in the comfort of a private comment.

The EAA encourages members who comment independently on the FAA MOSAIC proposal to "do so with suggestions and recommendations that highlight the proposal’s positive benefits for general aviation." Ideally, those comments will provide "constructive recommendations to enhance the FAA’s proposal.

EAA’s comments will reflect overall support on behalf of our membership, while providing key recommendations for enhancing the proposal."

Overall, the EAA seems quite positive about MOSAIC as it stands in theory today. "MOSAIC builds upon the 20 years of positive experience with Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft and proposes to broaden the definition of the privileges of both. EAA sees tremendous benefit in expanding the capability, size, and scope of aircraft that can be built utilizing industry consensus standards and the aircraft that can be flown while exercising Sport Pilot privileges."

"We encourage members to consider the topics in this guide and craft comments in their own words, drawing upon their experiences to support the proposal. The FAA needs to hear support for the MOSAIC proposal from the aviation community and recommendations in areas where the proposal can be enhanced."
