The FAA has published a new fact sheet outlining key milestones of the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) final rule, which aims to expand the availability of safe, modern, and affordable aircraft for light-sport and recreational operations.
The rule is structured with two phases of implementation. Effective October 22, 2025, changes include updates to pilot training and certification requirements, revised repairman and maintenance privileges, tow-hitch installation standards, and adjustments to Class G airspace and right-of-way rules. Additional changes that remove the “light-sport aircraft” definition from 14 CFR § 1.1 and update related airworthiness and operational requirements will take effect July 24, 2026. The FAA says MOSAIC supports future growth and innovation while maintaining safety.
