  • The MOSAIC NPRM was posted for display on July 19, 2023, and officially published on July 24, 2023, demonstrating accelerated progress contrary to common skepticism about FAA deadlines.
  • This early release of the comprehensive 318-page document allows the public and aviation industry, including the ASTM committee, ample time to review and comment on the proposed rule.
