What is the focus of 14 CFR Part 65?

• A. Certification: Airmen Other Than Flightcrew Members
• B. Certification: Pilots, Flight Instructors, and Ground Instructors
• C. Medical Standards and Certification
• D. Airworthiness Directives

Answer: (A)

Part 65 concerns certification of airmen other than flight crewmembers. This part governs who qualifies for certificates and ratings for roles like mechanics, repairmen, and other non-flight-crew personnel, including eligibility, testing, and the privileges and limitations of those certificates. It’s distinct from other parts: certification for pilots, flight instructors, and ground instructors is covered in Part 61; medical standards and certification are in Part 67; and Airworthiness Directives are in Part 39. So the focus of Part 65 is the certification of airmen other than flight crewmembers.
