The beacon light is out and you need to know if you are legal to fly? Part 91 covers that. When you need to know how far away from clouds you need to stay when flying VFR, Part 91 tells you. Part 91: Think of Part 91 as the “Rules of The Road”. If you are training for a rating, you NEED to be aware of what Part 61 requires for that specific rating. It covers everything, from the medical requirement for a student pilot, to the specific type of flights that you need for the Commercial certificate (Ex: Day and Night cross country flights). Part 61 is where you will find these requirements. As you go from student pilot to Airline Transport Pilot (ATP), you will need different experiences for each rating. Part 61: Part 61 of the Federal Aviation Regulations pertains to the requirements of licenses. Below, we’ll break down the important sections: Generally speaking, there are a few different sections we should take a look at. As discussed previously, the FAR is broken down into Parts. Since they’re separate documents, let's take a look at the Federal Aeronautical Regulations. Section 4-3-3 states “If remaining in the traffic pattern, commence turn to crosswind leg beyond the departure end of the runway within 300 feet of pattern altitude.” These are just a few examples of what is included in the many pages of the AIM. Remember when your CFI taught you to turn crosswind around 500-700 feet? Why? Partly because their instructor taught them that, but more importantly, because it's in the AIM. Want to know what the METAR codes stand for? Check the AIM. That's because most people aren’t sure what to use it for. This document is overlooked by the majority of pilots within aviation. This stands for Aeronautical Information Manual. The second part of the FAR/AIM book is the AIM portion. Turning to this section, then lists each requirement for the private pilot license. For example, private pilot requirements are 61.103. So, each regulation within Part 61, would have a number sequence after it. For example, qualifications required for each type of pilot license would be in section 61 (aka Part 61). Within the FAR, each section is numbered and referred to as a part. We’ll break down some important regulations all pilots should be aware of later, but for now let's discuss the formatting. Think of this book as the “Rules of the Road”. The first part, the ‘FAR’, stands for Federal Aviation Regulations. Well, for starters it is actually two separate books bound together in one. For those who aren’t well versed in using the heavy, nausea inducing and all encompassing federal guideline booklet, let’s take a look and break it down so that the FAR/AIM goes from being a phonebook catastrophe to your biggest asset. Hopefully, you have even used it at some point. Almost every single pilot at some point or another has heard of the FAR/AIM.
