Key Takeaways:
The final rule on the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) is now expected in early to mid-2025, rather than the previously anticipated announcement at EAA AirVenture 2024.
This delay is attributed to a tight initial schedule, the reopening of the comment period due to an omission, and the upcoming election diverting government resources.
