For MOSAIC
Enter the U.S. MOSAIC Market Faster
MOSAIC creates a new path for more capable light-sport category aircraft in the United States. For European CS-LSA, CS-23, and global Part 23 manufacturers, the opportunity is clear: a larger addressable market, broader aircraft utility, new training and aerial-work use cases, and a faster route to U.S. customers. The bottleneck is not the rule itself. It is translating an existing aircraft, design record, production system, manuals, and compliance evidence into a MOSAIC-ready FAA package.
MOSAIC removes the prior LSA definition and shifts certification of new light-sport category aircraft toward 14 CFR Part 22 and FAA-accepted consensus standards beginning July 24, 2026. Manufacturers must map their aircraft against new design, production, airworthiness, POH, maintenance, inspection, and statement-of-compliance requirements.
The challenge
New rules, new compliance architecture
MOSAIC introduces Part 22 and a layered set of FAA-accepted consensus standards. The certification basis, evidence structure, and submission expectations are different from CS-LSA, CS-23, and prior Part 23 frameworks.
Existing aircraft do not automatically qualify
A CS-LSA, CS-23, or Part 23 aircraft may be technically strong, but that does not make it MOSAIC-ready. Existing design data, manuals, production controls, flight test evidence, safety substantiation, and configuration records must be converted into the right U.S. compliance structure.
Statement of compliance risk
FAA does not issue traditional design or production approvals for light-sport category aircraft. The manufacturer signs the statement of compliance. Internal evidence quality, configuration control, supplier traceability, and audit readiness become critical.
How we work with you
MOSAIC eligibility assessment
We assess the current aircraft against MOSAIC criteria, Part 22 requirements, applicable ASTM consensus standards, and U.S. operating use cases. We identify whether the right path is light-sport category, Part 23, amended Part 23, or a dual-track strategy.
Compliance matrix and evidence mapping
We build a structured compliance matrix linking aircraft requirements, consensus standards, existing CS-LSA, CS-23, or Part 23 evidence, test reports, manuals, production records, and open gaps.
Statement of compliance package
We prepare the manufacturer-side evidence package that supports the FAA statement of compliance, including configuration baseline, compliance declarations, POH alignment, maintenance and inspection program structure, and production conformity evidence.
FAA audit readiness
We prepare your team for FAA first make and model audit expectations, including facility and data access, evidence presentation, issue tracking, corrective-action workflows, and configuration control.
U.S. market entry execution
We support the end-to-end workflow: gap closure, DER and DAR coordination where useful, documentation cleanup, supplier evidence collection, FAA interaction support, and the transition from first aircraft to repeatable delivery.
Engagement
Engagements begin with a focused MOSAIC readiness assessment. From there, we move into execution: evidence mapping, gap closure, documentation, FAA-facing preparation, and delivery workflow setup.
Typical initial phase
2 to 4 weeks
Depending on aircraft complexity, existing certification basis, and documentation maturity.
What you get
Who this is for
MOSAIC engagements are sponsored by certification, airworthiness, and U.S. market leadership at European CS-LSA and CS-23 manufacturers, global Part 23 manufacturers, and OEMs evaluating U.S. light-sport category entry.
