The FAA has released the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for LSA aircraft. Not directly Dynon related, but some of the changes proposed, particularly the gross weight increases, could certainly affect your system design/decisions. Among other things, an aircraft’s weight limit would be based on stall speed, which could allow aircraft weighing as much as 3,000 pounds to be classified as LSA. The proposal would also expand the types and usage of LSA aircraft, allowing some aerial work. Sport pilots could operate up to four seat aircraft, but would still only be allowed one passenger.
