Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC)
On Monday, November 17 at 7 PM, as part of the WACO Aviation Lecture Series, Jason Foley from the Cincinnati Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) will present on the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) which was effective October 23.
Foley is an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP), Gold Seal Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI), has worked as an FAA Aviation Safety Inspector and currently is the FAA Safety Team Program Manager. He graduated from Ohio University in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aviation.
Foley’s presentation will explain MOSAIC which greatly increases the number of aircraft available for Sport Pilots to fly. According to EAA Sport Aviation, about ¾ of general aviation aircraft will now be accessible to Sport Pilots. MOSAIC is the result of more than ten years of collaboration between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association (AOPA) and others. According to Nancy Royer, WACO Executive Director, “MOSAIC will help more people have the opportunity to experience the joy of flying and help revitalize general aviation by making it more affordable and accessible.”
All aviation lectures are free and open to the public and are scheduled to last one hour, beginning at 7 PM, with questions to follow. The lecture is held in the Willis Wing of the WACO Air Museum at 1865 South County Road 25A in Troy, OH. Doors will open at 6:30 PM. Donations to the WACO Air Museum are gratefully accepted. All lectures are sponsored in part by Collins Aerospace. For questions, please call 937-335-9226 or visit www.wacoairmuseum.org.
