Mosaic Aviation Msq-2

Quad Electric

The Mosaic Aviation MSQ-2 is a small electric unmanned aircraft system designed for commercial aerial photography, surveying, and inspection operations. Certificated by the FAA under Part 21, it represents one of the early wave of type-certificated small UAS entering the U.S. National Airspace System for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations. The quadcopter configuration uses four electric motors and is limited to 55 pounds maximum takeoff weight, placing it in the light UAS category. Its never-exceed speed of 87 knots allows efficient coverage of survey areas while remaining well below manned aircraft operating speeds. The type is primarily operated by aerial survey and photography companies conducting infrastructure inspection, mapping, and environmental monitoring missions. SkyMeter has tracked 17 flights across 5 airframes and 5 operators, with SCHULTZ MIKEL W the largest observed operator.

Safety in context

The incident rate counts flights with ANY safety event detected by SkyMeter: go-arounds (a routine response, not a failure), unstable-approach gate flags (advisory thresholds), rejected takeoffs (the system working as designed), and runway events. It is NOT an accident rate or fatality rate. For accident statistics, refer to the NTSB Aviation Accident Database (USA) or the Aviation Safety Network. See methodology for what each event type measures.
