## Abstract

FAA revises certain regulations governing airman certification and incorporates three updated sport pilot practical test standards (PTS) by reference. The rule aligns 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 updates the PTS to improve airman certification standard materials.
