Title:
NAFI 2026 - MOSAIC - Flight Training Practical Testing and Pilot Privilege Effects
Topic:
What You Need to Know About MOSAIC: For Pilots, Instructors, or Examiners
Brief Description:
Join veteran FAA Designated Pilot Examiner, active CFI, and aviation author Jason Blair for a clear, practical breakdown of the MOSAIC final rule (effective October 2025 for pilot privileges, July 2026 for aircraft certification). Discover how the rule decouples sport pilot privileges from the old light-sport aircraft definition, expands eligible aircraft (Cessna 172s, retractable gear, constant-speed props, helicopters with simplified controls), adds night operations with endorsements, and reshapes sport pilot CFI pathways and limitations. Essential insights are included for instructors, examiners, and pilots navigating the new era of sport pilot flying.
PRESENTED DURING THE EAA AIRVENTURE FLY-IN. NO FEE FOR THE NAFI PRESENTATIONS, BUT AN ENTRANCE FEE IS REQUIRED BY EAA AIRVENTURE TO ENTER THE GROUNDS.
