Episode 64: MOSAIC Rule Released, UND Flight Data Tool, and FAA Tiered 141 Reform Explained

In this packed episode, we cover critical changes and tools shaping the future of flight instruction, certification, and aviation safety:

• MOSAIC Final Rule Released – Sport Pilot regulations get a massive overhaul. No weight limit, four seats, night flying, and even Private/Commercial pilots flying on a driver’s license.

• What It Means for CFIs – More students, new flight school opportunities, and faster instructor pathways. But what will insurance companies say?

• FAA Part 141 Reform Tiers – A four-tiered system is being proposed with scalable privileges and qualifications—good news for small flight schools.

• UND’s NGAFID Tool – Any school can upload flight data (G1000, ForeFlight with AHRS) and privately analyze safety or performance metrics with automatic triggers.

• FAA Handbook & Test Updates – Major handbook revisions and knowledge test changes are coming to reflect new FARs under MOSAIC.

• ProTips – Two-tier lesson planning, smarter IFR alternate filing, and how Starlink satellite phones can boost your off-airport survival strategy.
