FAA Extends MOSAIC Comment Period To March 11, New Comments Limited

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • The FAA extended the comment period for the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).
  • This extension was due to the addition of a memo concerning a technical error in the NPRM, identified during a conversation between the FAA and ASTM International's Light Sport committee.
  • The FAA stated this action was for transparency, limiting comments during the extension period strictly to the issues covered in the new memo.

The FAA last month extended the comment period for the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC). The extension adds a memo concerning a conversation between an FAA representative and members of the Light Sport committee of ASTM International about a technical error in the NPRM.

That exchange didn’t make it into the original NPRM and the addition of the memo and comment extension to March 11 were done “in the interest of transparency.” Comments during the extension are limited to the issues covered in the memo.
