Title:
MOSAIC Pilot Opportunities and CFI Responsibilities
Topic:
Understanding the New MOSAIC Opportunities
Date and Time:
Sunday, November 30, 2025, starting at 20:00 Eastern Standard Time (17:00 PST; 18:00 MST; 19:00 CST; 15:00 HST; 16:00 AKST; 18:00 Arizona; Monday, December 1, 2025 01:00 GMT)
Speaker(s):
John Dorcey (MCFI) and David St. George (DPE)
Brief Description:
Sport Pilots were historically limited to 1320 lbs Max Gross Weight. With MOSAIC, Sport Pilots can now fly most of the GA piston fleet. The Sport Pilot ACS does not include flight into radio-controlled airspace or comm, X-C weather and planning, night operations, or emergency instrument control. These and other training and endorsements need to be added by a knowledgeable CFI (What is a Vh endorsement?).
We will discuss the new Sport Pilot regulations and examine the draft version of AC 61-146 (Sport Pilot guidance) as well as attempt to answer all your questions. A critical starting point is understanding that Sport Planes and Sport Pilots now have different limitations (some sport planes cannot be flown by sport pilots!) The rules for new sport plane certification came out in Oct (last month) but will not be effective until July 2026.
