Which Part is focused on General Operating and Flight Rules?

• A. 14 CFR Part 91
• B. 14 CFR Part 117
• C. 14 CFR Part 135
• D. 14 CFR Part 73

Answer: (A)

The rules that apply to how all civil aircraft operate—the baseline operating and flight rules—are found in this part. This section sets the general procedures, right-of-way rules, minimums, weather considerations, and basic operating requirements that apply across most aviation activities. Other parts cover specific contexts or operations: one part adds crew time limits and rest requirements, another governs on-demand and commuter operations with stricter rules, and another defines special-use airspace. So for General Operating and Flight Rules, this Part is the correct reference because it directly establishes the universal rules pilots follow unless a more specific Part adds or modifies them.
