In its place is a performance-based category built around how slowly an aircraft can fly, not how much it weighs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px;border-radius:8px;margin:24px 0\"><h3 style=\"padding-top:0;margin-top:0\">Quick Facts<\/h3><ul style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.8\"><li><strong>Rule:<\/strong> MOSAIC &mdash; new FAR Part 22 light-sport category<\/li><li><strong>Effective:<\/strong> 24 July 2026 for new-aircraft certification (pilot-privilege changes began October 2025)<\/li><li><strong>What&rsquo;s gone:<\/strong> The 1,320 lb light-sport weight cap from 2004<\/li><li><strong>New yardstick:<\/strong> Stall speed &mdash; up to 59 knots clean for sport-pilot eligibility<\/li><li><strong>Now allowed:<\/strong> Up to four seats, retractable gear, controllable-pitch propellers<\/li><li><strong>First mover:<\/strong> Textron&rsquo;s Pipistrel Voyager trainer, service expected 2027<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What actually changes<\/h2>\r\n<p>The old rules boxed light-sport aircraft in by weight. At 1,320 pounds, most genuinely useful trainers simply did not fit, which is a big part of why the category never took over flight training the way its architects hoped.<\/p>\r\n<p>MOSAIC throws out the scale and measures the aircraft by stall speed instead. Sport-pilot-eligible aeroplanes can now have a clean stall speed of up to 59 knots, up from 45, and the light-sport category itself can now include four-seat designs, retractable gear and variable-pitch props. A sport pilot may still carry only one passenger, but the machines they can train and fly in just got far more capable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img data-opt-id=395190526  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/pipistrel-glass-cockpit.jpg\" alt=\"Glass cockpit of a Pipistrel light-sport aircraft\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Modern light-sport aircraft already carry full glass cockpits.

On 20 July, at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Textron unveiled the Pipistrel Voyager &mdash; a two-seat trainer designed from the ground up around MOSAIC.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Voyager is certified for instrument flight and intentional spins, carries all-new Garmin Axis glass avionics and a Rotax 912 ULS engine, and has a range around 740 nautical miles. Textron lists a 2026 base price near &euro;240,000 (roughly $275,000) and service entry in 2027, pitching it as a partner to the venerable Cessna Skyhawk rather than a replacement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;The Voyager is built to be a training workhorse.

More capable aircraft can now be built and certified under a lighter, cheaper framework, which flight schools hope will ease the cost of both buying trainers and teaching in them.<\/p>\r\n<p>None of it makes flying free. But for the first time in a generation, the aircraft at the bottom of the ladder are allowed to be something more than the bare minimum.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ET4i_iipSAQ\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<p><em>Sources: FAA; AOPA; Aviation International News; EAA; Textron \/ Pipistrel; General Aviation News.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0 8px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Related Posts<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/faa-5g-radio-altimeter-final-rule-2026\/\">The FAA Ends the 5G Fight With the Cockpit<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/from-faq-to-flight-can-anyone-really-fly-a-fighter-jet\/\">From FAQ to Flight: Can Anyone Really Fly a Fighter Jet?<\/a><\/p><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 24 July, a rule two decades in the making rewrote what counts as a light-sport aircraft in America &mdash; and, with it, what a beginner pilot is allowed to fly.
