What are FARs?

What are FARs?

• A. Federal Aviation Regulations - the rules designed to promote protection of pilots, flight attendants, passengers and the general public from unnecessary risk
• B. Federal Aircraft Routing Standards
• C. Functional Airspace Regulations
• D. Federal Avionics Repair Schedule

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is recognizing what FARs stand for and what they cover. FARs are Federal Aviation Regulations, the rules that govern aviation in the United States. They establish the safety standards and procedures for everything from aircraft design, certification, and maintenance to pilot and flight crew licensing, aircraft operations, and airspace use. They’re published in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations and aim to protect pilots, flight attendants, passengers, and the public by setting mandatory requirements and guidelines for safe operation. The other options aren’t actual regulatory frameworks used in U.S. aviation, so they don’t describe the official rules that govern flight.
