Re: FAA Extends MOSAIC Comment Period from 10/23/2023 to 01/22/2024
In "gov speak" that's what they call kicking the can down the road. :mrgreen: Oh, I'm well aware... :lol: This move comes in response to a formal request from several aviation organizations, including the AEA, Aeronautical Repair Station Association, Aviation Suppliers Association, Aviati...

Re: Take action! MOSAIC Comment period
Any suggestion to “sunset” those earned privileges is not only unfair but is also severely misguided especially in context of medical certificate requirements. To "sunset" the Sport Pilot certificate would likely result in an uproar from more than Sport Pilots, as it would also ground an ...

Re: Take action! MOSAIC Comment period
Theres a flight school at a Class D airport 10 minutes from my house with a fleet of mostly 172s, so this would be an awesome place to rent. However, my only concern is since they've never dealt with sport pilots they may be hesitant to sign me off to rent, That's a legitimate concern, at least ini...

Re: "B" fix to CH 601 XL from 2006?
I seem to recall reading somewhere that the FAA deemed all CH 601 XL aircraft to be non-airworthy until the "B" wing mod was completed. If true, by now there "shouldn't" be any flying that haven't completed the "B" wing mod, as they "should" fail their annual ...

Re: SportPilotTalk.com Shutting Down in August
This is a truly amazing accomplishment from a very wonderful community. My thanks to: Gerald, for allowing us the opportunity to get some skin in the game. Tom, for recognizing and pointing out the archival value of this site. The FAA, for motivating us by finally issuing the MOSAIC NPRM. Richard, ...

Re: Take action! MOSAIC Comment period
Gee my comments weren't so lengthy. Neither were mine. I got straight to the point. Hopefully FAA sees-through the longwinded negative comments, such as the one from "Meredith Holladay". The people that want FAA to dial-back MOSAIC (or scuttle it entirely) seem more concerned about themse...

Re: SportPilotTalk.com Shutting Down in August
Any news on the site acquisition front? If it falls-through, I think there's enough interest from many site "regulars" to make GoFundMe or similar a viable option.
Just out of curiosity, should no action be taken, what's the drop-dead date for the site?

Re: Major News! MOSAIC pre-publication version released!
As of today, MOSAIC has been formally published, and the comment period is now open. As I mentioned in another thread, earlier today I submitted a formal comment, pushing for VS1 to be increased to 60 knots. This would help make more PA-28s eligible for Sport Pilots, since they're the Piper equivale...

Re: Take action! MOSAIC Comment period
I submitted a formal comment earlier today, pushing for VS1 to be increased to 60 knots. This would help make more PA-28s eligible for Sport Pilots, since they're the Piper equivalent of the C172 (which generally already meets the VS1 limitation).
