Key Takeaways:
The final rule for the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) is now anticipated in early to mid-2025, missing the previously suggested announcement at EAA AirVenture this year.
Reasons for the delay include a tight timeline following the comment period, a required 30-day reopening of comments due to an omission, and the upcoming election diverting government resources.
The final rule on the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) is now expected sometime in 2025.
