INTRODUCTION

WHAT? –Federal Aviation Regulations are the rules set forth by the government of the United States and apply
to all airspace overlying the United States, it’s territories, waters and what ever else they claim.
WHY? –It is necessary to regulate the airspace of the United States for security to the countries assets and to the
public. The FARs also contributes directly to safety as they align all pilots to a uniform set of standards and
procedures to follow. In this way it is possible to predict what aircraft are going to do and allows the FAA to
ensure they do it.
OVERVIEW - This lesson will cover the basic elements pertaining to Federal Aviation Regulations, including:
1. Availability and method of revision
2. Purpose and general content
DEVELOPMENT:
HOW?
1.) Availability and method of revision.
A.) FAR’s are issued pursuant to and are enforceable under the laws of the United States.
1. In essence, the FAA is authorized to issue and revise rules and regulations in accordance with its
executive agency (the FAA is a component of the U.S. Department of Transportation).
2. Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRMs) are published in the Federal Register, and after comment
periods, they are issued as FARs, i.e., published in the Federal Register, as final rules.
3. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has similar rule-making authority.

2.) FARs are organized by Part and the most common Parts relevant to general aviation pilots and flight
instructors are Parts 61, 91, and NTSB Part 830.
A.) Purpose and general content of FAR Parts 61 and 91 and NTSB Part 830.
1. Part 61: Certification: Pilots and Flight Instructors, prescribes.
a) The requirements for issuing pilot and flight instructor certificates and ratings.
b) The conditions under which whose certificates and ratings are necessary.
c) The privileges and limitations of those certificates and ratings.
d) The major subparagraphs are:
(1) General
(2) Aircraft ratings (e.g., instrument) and special certificates.
(3) Student and recreational pilots.
(4) Private pilots
(5) Commercial pilots
(6) Airline transport pilots.
(7) Flight instructors.

2. Part 91, General Operating and Flight Rules

a) Describes rules governing the operation of aircraft.
b) The major subparagraphs are:
(1) General
(2) Flight rules
(3) General
(4) Visual
(5) Instrument.
(6) Maintenance, preventive, maintenance, and alterations.
(7) Large and turbine-powered multiengine airplanes.
(8) Operating noise limits.

3. The NTSB is a function within the U.S. Department of Transportation (as is the FAA) that has rule-
making authority similar to the FAA.

(1) Applicability.
(2) Definitions.
(3) Immediate Notification.
(4) Information to be given in Notification.
(5) Preservation of Aircraft Wreckage, Mail, Cargo, and Records.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion this supplies the location to gather the necessary information regarding rules and regulation
pertaining to general aviation pilots and flight instructors. Good Luck
