New sport pilot regulations remove LSA weight limit, expand privileges

"Aircraft with maximum speeds of 250 knots calibrated airspeed, retractable gear, and constant-speed propellers will now qualify as light sport aircraft under the highly anticipated Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC), which dramatically expands the LSA category and sport pilot privileges. Aircraft with flaps-down stall speeds up to 61 KCAS will be able to be certified as LSAs, and pilots will be able to operate aircraft with clean stall speeds of up to 59 KCAS under sport pilot privileges."

"Changes for sport pilots and light sport repairmen take effect 90 days after the publication of the final rule, with changes for LSA certification following a year after the publication."

Rules change being announced today for pilots.

"The most significant revision request is an increase in the stall speed to 58 knots from the 54 knots in the first version of the rule. That will capture dozens of light aircraft types including popular Piper and Cessna models that would have been ineligible because of the speed requirement."

More people will be allowed to fly more aircraft models, with less restrictive medical requirements.
