GAMA Statement on MOSAIC Rule Announcement

OSHKOSH, Wisconsin – Today, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Sean Duffy, announced the final rule for the FAA’s Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC). General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) president and CEO, James Viola, released the following statement regarding the announcement of the rule:

“GAMA welcomes today’s announcement on MOSAIC.  While we will need to review the final rule in more detail, GAMA deeply appreciates the efforts of Secretary Duffy, the U.S. Department of Transportation, FAA and the U.S. Congress for their efforts to continuously improve safety and innovation in general aviation and bring MOSAIC to fruition. The MOSAIC rule expands the scope of light sport aircraft category, reducing regulatory burden consistent with the FAA safety continuum that will in turn support opportunities to improve certification processes for Part 23 aircraft.. This rule plays a crucial role to ensure the U.S. regulatory structure is better designed to advance safety, innovation and the utility of general aviation. Today’s announcement is an essential step forward for advancing the future of the general aviation industry. “
