What does FAR stand for?

• A. Federal Air Regulation
• B. Federal Aviation Law
• C. Federal Aviation Regulation
• D. Flight Attendant Regulations

Answer: (C)

FAR stands for Federal Aviation Regulations. These are the FAA’s rules that govern aviation safety, operations, maintenance, and licensing, and they’re organized across many parts in 14 CFR. The term is normally plural because it encompasses multiple regulations rather than a single rule. In casual speech you might hear “Federal Aviation Regulation,” but the standard expansion used in training and official references is “Federal Aviation Regulations.”
