Here is the current Mosaic the FAA is looking at.

I would definitely say write a comment and support this recommendation by EAA

"
• Sport Pilot Helicopter rating
o The requirement for helicopters that Sport Pilots can fly to be built under LSA and with
“Simplified Flight Controls”
• LSA seating capacity (other than airplane)
o The restriction for types of LSAs other than airplanes to 2 seats
EAA recommendations for consideration:
• Remove the requirement for “Simplified Flight Controls” from helicopters that Sport Pilots can
fly
• Increase the seating capacity for all types of LSAs to 4 seats in parallel to airplanes
"
Why are airplanes singled out to go to 4 seats and nothing else. Pure discrimination because FAA does not know enough about other caregories. Instead of hiring people who do know or training current staff they want to stifle other industry.
