2120-AM12 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2120 Federal Aviation Administration FAA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Sport Pilot Practical Test Standards Alignment

FAA proposes to revise certain regulations governing airman certification and proposes to incorporate three updated sport pilot practical test standards (PTS) by reference. The proposed update would align the airman testing standards with newly adopted regulatory requirements in the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) final rule related to the certification of sport pilots and operation of light-sport category aircraft and update the PTS to improve airman certification standard materials.
