When pilots talk about “the regs,” they refer in general to the portion of the Code of Federal Regulations that govern aeronautical activity. To be specific, the regulations that cover the flying you will do initially as a student and as a certificated pilot live in the 14th volume of the CFR and divvy up into “parts.” So, formally speaking, you’d call these sections “14 CFR Part 1” or what have you.
So You’ve Started Flight Training: Sky Rules
Key Takeaways:
- The Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), primarily found in 14 CFR, govern aeronautical activity and are organized into "parts," with Parts 1, 61, and 91 being fundamental for new pilots.
- 14 CFR Part 1 serves as a glossary of aviation terms, Part 61 outlines the requirements for various pilot certificates and medicals, and Part 91 details general operating and flight rules applicable during actual flight.
- Pilots should also be familiar with NTSB Part 830, which provides definitions and procedures for reporting aircraft accidents and incidents.
