Pilots are drowning in MOSAIC confusion.
The biggest regulatory shift in two decades hit aviation this July. Yet finding reliable information feels like searching for a needle in a haystack of blog posts and YouTube opinions.
I see an opportunity here that nobody else is taking seriously.
The Information Problem
Everyone wants to be the MOSAIC expert. The problem is most of the “expertise” comes from speculation, not facts.
YouTube creators are making videos based on draft rules. Bloggers are copying each other’s interpretations. Meanwhile, pilots need real answers about what they can actually fly under the new regulations.
The regulatory change is massive. Three-quarters of the GA fleet becomes accessible to sport pilots this October. Weight restrictions got eliminated. Night flying privileges opened up.
But try finding verified manufacturer specifications for SLSA aircraft. Or confirmed FAA guidance on ELSA compliance. Good luck.
Building the Resource Nobody Built
I’m creating something different. A searchable database focused exclusively on verified information from two sources: aircraft manufacturers and official FAA releases from July forward.
No blog interpretations. No YouTube speculation. Just facts with citations.
The approach is simple but comprehensive. Every answer includes the exact source so users can cross-check information themselves. Every manufacturer producing LSA aircraft gets included, plus key component providers like Rotax, Continental, Lycoming, Dynon, and Garmin.
This matters because Congress mandated MOSAIC completion. The regulations are here to stay, and compliance isn’t optional.
Why Citation Transparency Works
Trust comes from verification. When someone asks about night flying privileges for sport pilots, I want to show them exactly where that information comes from in the official rule.
When they need specs on a specific SLSA model, they get manufacturer data with direct links to source documents. No interpretation layer. No editorial opinion.
The aviation community needs this level of transparency, especially for regulatory compliance. CFIs teaching sport pilots need accurate information. A&P mechanics working on LSA aircraft need verified specifications.
The Authority Play
Building authority through information curation works when you solve a real problem. The MOSAIC information landscape is genuinely broken right now.
By focusing on verified data instead of creating original content, I’m positioning myself as the reliable intermediary between complex regulations and the people who need to understand them.
The resource becomes valuable because it saves time and reduces compliance risk. That value translates into authority in the aviation community.
The timing is perfect. MOSAIC just launched, information quality is poor, and pilots need reliable answers. Building this resource now establishes expertise before the market gets saturated with better solutions.
Sometimes the best way to become an expert is to organize the expertise that already exists.
