14 CFR stands for what?

• A. Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations
• B. Advisory Circular
• C. Aeronautical Decision Making
• D. Airman Certification Standards

Answer: (A)

The important idea is that regulations are organized into titles, and aviation rules live in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations. So 14 CFR means the regulations within that title—the rules that govern aviation operations, pilot certification, aircraft certification, maintenance, and related areas. For example, you’ll find pilot certification rules in Part 61 and general operating rules in Part 91 within Title 14. The other items refer to different FAA materials that aren’t the CFR itself: an Advisory Circular provides guidance, Aeronautical Decision Making is a safety training concept, and Airman Certification Standards are the testing benchmarks used for certification, not the regulations themselves.
