FARs (Federal Aviation Regulations)

Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) are a set of rules established by the U.S. government to ensure safe and efficient air travel. They govern how aircraft operate, licensing requirements for pilots, aircraft standards, and airline practices. FARs help prevent accidents by setting clear standards for safety, training, and maintenance. They are enforced by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and apply to all pilots, airlines, and aircraft operating in U.S. airspace. In essence, FARs create a structured framework that promotes consistency, safety, and accountability in civil aviation.
