A basic observation. The proposed rules look like they will improve things for us sport pilots, easier access, higher performance airplanes etc. But it seems silly to suggest that less oversight, and things like constant speed props, retractable landing gear, and higher cruise speeds will improve safety. Decades of data show the opposite. Slow, simple GA airplanes kill fewer pilots than fast complicated GA airplanes. Am I happy about the proposed changes? Definitely. Do I think safety will be improved? Nope

Personally, the *only* thing I’ve wanted to see in LSA is a slight uptick in the weight limitation to include aircraft like the 152, the tomahawk, etc. That would expand, by SO MUCH, the practical aircraft that LSA pilots can access. And let’s be real, if you can operate a 162, you can absolutely operate a 152 or a tomahawk.

As a student pilot (yes, at 60), I have toyed with the idea of LSA and sport pilot certification. The LSA category was supposed to have lowered the price point for entry into GA, but it HAS NOT (really) made much of a difference. With the expanded definition of LSA under MOSAIC, now the 152, and possible 172 will fall into that category. I may rethink my continuation as PP and look into LS Pilot. I already fly under Basic Med. Does AOPA ever venture into the Part 103 arena? With MOSAIC expanding LSA, Part 103 needs to be revisited too! 55 KIAS for top performance? That's so dated! It is renewal time for my AOPA membership too. The fact that they have been working on expanding rules to make GA more approachable, and affordable to us geezers who've always wanted to fly just may influence my decision to renew.

@@daricksta08 To be honest, all I'd like to see is the top airspeed increased some (10-20%), and a doubling of fuel capacity. Would being able to cruise along at 70 to 80 mph with 10 gallons of gas be that much more dangerous than the current limits? Not asking for two seats, not asking for night flight capability, not asking for permission to fly above 10K feet. Would I be heartbroken if the tradeoff was for the pilot to at least pass a written exam, have a hand-held transceiver on board, or hold a valid motor vehicle license? Not in the least. Doubling fuel capacity is a safety measure (how many landing strips have MoGas?), and allowing the Part 103 vehicle to operate at almost the same speed as motor vehicles below them are small changes that would enhance the ultralight experience. I do see LSA manufacturers grumbling though! That would cut into what was supposed to be *their* target demographic. I am seriously considering the Merlin Lite. With all-metal construction, it's an inexpensive turn-key option. I would love for the slightly more capable Merlin to fall under the Part 103 rules, but "it's too fast" and "carries too much fuel", even though it is a single-seater two-cylinder aircraft. Buying the complete Merlin Lite package at about $34K sure beats finishing my flight training at $250 per hour, and then trying to find a serviceable aircraft that is "in annual" and not at TBO.

@@oneninerniner3427 Agree. It's really smart to push to get IFR rating, even if your minimums mostly keep you out of IMC. Great to have the knowledge and experience to handle it. And funnily enough, often easier to fly IFR even on nice days.

I guess still you can not change a Cessna 150 to a light sport plane. I have had N5549E for fifty years now and just wonder if you can change it.

So a 150 will be light sport qualified to be flown by a light sport pilot. But is still a certified aircraft & treated as any other certified aircraft maintenance wise I believe. Does that make sense?

This is awesome news! It would be nice if there was another stipulation now that sport pilot has been increased to 4 seat aircraft that you could take your up to two children with you as well. So not necessarily 4 adults but two adults and for parents up to two children so the could do family trips or other family outings. Maybe with the caviar that the must live with them at least part time, or maybe not. I don’t know. While getting closer I think this still keep families from enjoying this joyous wonder as a family which could bring more people such as myself to aviation in general. One by exposing more people to it, two because it brings the price down some for families to do it and brings families together.

@@JoeCnNd that is also a very good point. I can confirm that my one child is a distraction while driving. I’m not a pilot at this time due to not being able to make that into the budget and not really include them in it. At least with some intercom systems I understand that a pilot can isolate themselves so they only hear the radio and there would be another parent in the cockpit to handle the child or children in the example I made. Honestly I believe with them just being in the plane can be a distraction even without being able to hear them. So again you make a very good point and potential counter argument to my example.

Carrying passengers or family members implies additional responsibility on part of the pilot. Not mentioned are requirements for good judgement and up to date skill levels and scenario-based training. A cautious mindset and reducing risk for passengers is a good approach to have.

I don't think so. Your 150 is still a part 23 certified aircraft not LSA, but you can now fly it as a sport pilot.

She states that this is the first modernization of aircraft certification standards in two decades. I guess AOPA missed the Part 23 rewrite. Not to mention the current light sport regulation was released in 2004, which is just 19 years. That second one was just a minor nit but missing Part 23 just a few years ago is a major oversight.
