The FAA has revised the practical test standards for the sport pilot certificate, raising the minimum altitude required for certain maneuvers during the checkride. The update brings sport pilot testing requirements into line with MOSAIC, the rule reshaping how the agency defines and certifies light sport aircraft. For owners tracking MOSAIC's rollout, it's a sign the rule's effects are reaching past aircraft categories and into how pilots are tested to fly them.
