Sport Pilot 2.0 era opens as MOSAIC rule becomes effective.
A new era of possibilities for recreational aviation has dawned, as the Sport Pilot 2.0 era opened with the effective date of the MOSAIC (Modernisation of Special Airworthiness Certification) rule from the Federal Aviation Administration.
“The dream of flight is now more attainable, with a wider array of available aircraft that bring all the fun of recreational flying,” said Jack J. Pelton, CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Experimental Aircraft Association. “This uses the long-established parameters of the current Sport Pilot license flight training that can now be accomplished in the expanded definition of aircraft that qualify for Sport Pilot operation.”
The MOSAIC rule was announced on July 22 by U.S Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in.
