Which 14 CFR part pertains to Airworthiness Standards for Transport Category Rotorcraft?

• A. 14 CFR Part 29
• B. 14 CFR Part 25
• C. 14 CFR Part 27
• D. 14 CFR Part 43

Answer: (A)

Airworthiness standards for rotorcraft are organized by category, with a section specifically dedicated to rotorcraft used in transport operations. This part sets the certification requirements for larger, more complex rotorcraft, covering design, structure, systems redundancy, performance, and flight characteristics to ensure safe operation in transport missions.

In contrast, rotorcraft used in other roles—like normal, utility, or acrobatic—and the airplanes section each have their own respective parts with standards tailored to those aircraft types. Maintenance activities, applicable across many aircraft, are addressed in a separate maintenance-focused part.

So, the part that pertains to Airworthiness Standards for Transport Category Rotorcraft is the rotorcraft section devoted to transport-category operations.
