ANN knows of NO ONE who is as 'on top' of all things regulatory as AEA's Ric Peri... And by chance, we ran into Ric and some of the AEA gang at NBAA 2023 and corralled him into explaining the modus operandi for their request (along with other organizations) for an extension of the proposed Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) rule.
The request got a few folks a little hot under the collar thinking that the extension would cause extensive delays in the publication of the final rule. However; Peri seems to think that delays will be minimal, but more importantly, a better, more carefully examined and edited rule will result -- even referring to the history behind several previous attempts to reset the light aircraft regulatory environment.
Ric talks both about the process and the history of this and other regs as well as the need to carefully audit the 318-page MOSAIC NPRM so that the final rule does aviation the best possible good... especially since the aviation community will have to live with the results for quite some tie.
The potential for the civil aviation community is pretty positive... but only if the FAA gets as much studied and carefully considered input as possible... so that the best rule may result.... we shall see.
