The FAA has officially accepted the final ASTM consensus standards for light sport powered-lift aircraft

A major milestone for AIR, and for the future of personal aviation.

The FAA has officially accepted the final ASTM consensus standards for light sport powered-lift aircraft under its MOSAIC framework, establishing a clear regulatory pathway for AIR ONE.

We're especially proud that AIR's certification team played an active role in developing these standards alongside the Federal Aviation Administration, ASTM, industry partners, and international civil aviation authorities. This milestone represents years of collaboration to help shape the future of aviation.

So, what does this mean?

✅ A clear certification pathway. AIR now has an accepted set of standards against which AIR ONE can demonstrate compliance on its journey toward FAA certification.

✅ A major step toward customer deliveries. With the regulatory framework now in place, our focus shifts to proving compliance and bringing AIR ONE to market.

✅ A new era for personal aviation. MOSAIC opens the door for a new generation of innovative aircraft with capabilities that weren't previously possible under Light Sport Aircraft regulations.

This is more than a regulatory achievement. It's the foundation for the future of personal flight.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this historic effort. We'll see you in Oshkosh next week!
