Great interview. Dan has always been a great supporter of light sport aviation. For those who have not read the mosiac NPRM 1. Weight from 1320lbs to 3000lbs plus 2. Speed from 120knots to 250knots 3. Constant speed prop 4. Retractable gear 5. Stall speed from 45knt to 54knt 6. Night flight( medical or basic med) 7. Four seat aircraft 8. Turbines and multi engine 9. Air work for hire

Thanks for taking the time to create and publish this content. It's very informative.
What of FAR 103.7 ultralights. Many ultralights were removed from ultralight category because of weight. Why not relax or modify the rule on ultralights with respect to weight. Basically Many ultralight aircraft could still operate safely, ie. Stall speed, cruise speed, single occupancy, are still the same. restrictions would remain the same, no night flying, no flying in restricted airspace. It would allow Ultralight pilots to fly in relative comfort with enclosed cockpits. Basically fly in a safer aircraft. I believe that ultralights deserve some consideration for all of these reasons.

Dan, why do you think the proposed 54 knot clean stall speed is unlikely to be increased in the final rule? Is there a better chance of changing that to a 54 knot stall speed in the landing configuration?
@mytech6779
Жыл бұрын
Hope that can be changed. 54kt clean stall would make the 250kt upper limit completely pointless as you would never get such a lightly loaded wing over 120kts in level flight without a huge engine and some massive inefficiency.

@mytech6779 that is not the point. The 250knots is there because that is the speed limit below 10,000 feet and there are several light sport aircraft that already cruise at 190 knots.

There are 2 issues in MOSIAC that may create legal issues for private pilots. One is that sport pilots can carry 1 passenger. Private pilots can carry more than 1 but there is no training in the private pilot curriculum for carrying those extra passengers. The second is making sport pilots get an endorsement to fly at night after training. That will prove proficiency. Therefore, a private pilot with the same training with out that endorsement may be deemed “not proficient” in court in the event of an accident.

Private pilot night training = certificate of attendance. Endorsement = certificate of graduation. Currently, a person can train for private pilot in a Cessna 152 and then go out in a Cessna 172 at night with 3 passengers, crash and kill them (has happened many times before, look it up) without "endorsements". Therefore, a sport pilot needing endorsements will equal a higher level of training.@@mytech6779

While many are stuck on what it does for light sport pilots, I’m not sure many LS pilots want to leave a beautiful new glass cockpit RV12 to go fly an old 172 or PA28 at the same speeds. I believe the best thing MOSAIC brings out will be consensus standard (ASTM) designed aircraft kits not constrained by the 51% rule of EAB, or the weight and speed restrictions of LSA, along with increased availability of builder assist programs. Ultimately higher performance aircraft than original light sport, built under ELSA and SLSA guidelines to keep costs down well below new part 23 certificated type aircraft. This will help modernize the GA fleet, while getting some of the really ratty old stuff off the flight lines.

No one will want that rv12 at 120knots and 1320lbs. Unless vans changes the designing weight to allow for higher speed amd weight, it will become a less attractive offering for light sport compared to the coming mosaic aircraft

@@jrcolmena That's my take, too. Nothing changes when it comes to Part 23 certificated aircraft. Once Part 23 certificated, forever it shall be Part 23. What the new rule will allow is for manufacturers to bring NEW aircraft to market that no longer have to meet Part 23 certification but rather whatever the ASTM standard will be at the time. It's huuuuge. What I'm curious to see then is how the LSA Repairman certificate changes. So far as I've seen, the changes are intended to streamline the process of earning the certificate and how it can eventually be used in pursuit of a full A&P certificate.

Leave it to bureaucrats to wildly stab in the dark and needessly fumble simple issues. 1. What is the Purpose of the Light Sport pilot cert? A: Basically just fixing the previously fumbled recreational pilot cert without admitting to any mistake. 2. What is the purpose of the Sport aircraft certification category when aircraft limitations are set by the manufacturers? (Which was always the case, even with the old arbitrary normal/utility/aerobatic categories a POH could restrict certain uses and loadings.) Is it just a risk/testing category between experimental ameturebuilt and normal category suitable for public transport? eg good enough for pilots educated in the risk level but still more production than experimental in nature? Or was it to offer a category equivalent to the meaning of "Ultralight" or "Microlight" as it is used outside of the USA (aircraft under about 500 or 600Kg) A: ??? 3. The lack of medically caused accidents is likely because of medical certificates even if they are also looking for some irrelevent stuff, this is called "survior-bias" in formal statistics. (A survivor in this case meens passing the medical exam, not a literal survivor of a crash.) And I would argue there are a good number of accidents caused by medical issues that just aren't being properly acknowledged and recorded. Specifcially degraded cognative function. I know psychiatry is far from exacting, full of debate, and rather taboo on the political side so taking preventative regulatory action would be a minefield for all sides. But the NTSB should at least be considering it as a factor and stating its contribution to accidents in a much more explicit way that is useful for data analysis(with sufficient detail as to the subtype).

The sport pilot certificate tested the "driver's license medical" which helped bring in BasicMed, brought all "2 seat ultralights" and overweight ultralights into legal status by moving their pilots into the certificated pilot world and registering those aircraft. It also showed that basic piloting skills can be taught in fewer hours. Overall, it was successful. It also allowed CFIs to add on ratings such as glider to an airplane certificate without the high cost of a DPE checkride, and that was also a great success. I do agree that the Recreational Certificate was too burdensome to be of use and people voted with their feet by not getting it. In the old days anyone who trained in a Cub and got their private pilot certificate was basically a sport pilot. They rarely flew at night, most did not fly far, and they only took 1 passenger. But, that certificate allowed them to jump into a much larger plane without more training and fill it with people and fly at night into a mountain with their magical 3 hours of instrument training. Maybe its time to place endorsement restrictions on private pilots to bring down their accident rate? If you want to look at no medical flying check out the glider world. No medical required at all. Peace.

The main reasoning behind mosaic is to bring light sport rules in alignment with Brazilian and European rules. They are also focused on allowing new technologies into the design of newer mosaic models, which will include turbine engines and enhanced safety features like BRS parachute system without encroaching on mtow. The private pilot certificate has been held as the holy grail of general aviation and the mosaic rules are challenging that notion in some regards and some don't like it.
