The MOSAIC NPRM may be out this year, probably next. LS tickets will have endorsements up to 6000 lbs, but you'll have to earn them.
Things move slowly in the FAA….it would be nice to see though. I’m a Private Pilot SEL SES. But I went and got a CFI -SP for fun back in 2010 or so…it might be a little more useful rating if MOSAIC passes.
I assume MOSAIC is an acronym...what does it stand for?
And holding the bi-annual in person IA meeting at home on a computer while attempting to teach all the IAs to learn about some convoluted computer programing called IACRA.The FAA is busy with important stuff like renaming NOTAMS.
I spoke with Richard McSpadden of AOPA while at the Montana aviation conference. He said they expected to put it out for NPRM in August.

I’m hearing rumors that the LSA weights may be raised to include some of the lighter SCubs. Has anyone else heard of it?
Sarpy Sam
what are you calling a “lighter SCubs”?
...I’m currently building a SC with an 0-290D2 and I’m hoping to come in at 900 lbs. I may be dreaming...
Not at all. A friend of mine just finished a stripped down PA12 that came in under 900. It had no interior and a battery/starter only electrical system and still has an O-235 but it's amazing what it will do being that light. His credo is "Low weight is free horse power". I've been giving a lot of thought to a dedicated single place O-290 powered Super Cub in LSA. If you come in around 900-ish pounds, an average-ish weight pilot could still have 30+ gallons of fuel (before cargo) and stay within LSA rules.
One of our Airline Check Airmen was sitting in the COCKPIT (left seat) and the A male (?) FA asked him what pro noun he wished to be be called. The CA simply looked up and replied....."Captain" Conversation ended.Like all federal agencies, DEI is more important than safety or actually doing what they were chartered to do. I got my ass in trouble the other day when I had to fill out a web site for mentoring at the Navy. Got to the third drop down box and it says “preferred pronouns”. I lost it and emailed the dept head and said that has nothing to do with supporting the warfighter and I was offended that they would even ask such a thing. Got an email back with some wish washy stuff about having to be inclusive and all that BS.
