Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
14 CFRSection 01: Organizations & Authorities
Definition
The section of the United States Code of Federal Regulations that contains all federal aviation regulations. Title 14 is titled 'Aeronautics and Space' and is divided into chapters, with Chapter I containing the FAA regulations. These regulations are organized into subchapters and parts covering airworthiness standards, certification procedures, operating rules, maintenance requirements, and other aspects of civil aviation.
Where This Shows Up
Title 14 CFR is often colloquially referred to as the 'FARs' (Federal Aviation Regulations), although the FAA prefers '14 CFR' to distinguish federal regulations from the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) used in government contracting.
