What is covered in 14 CFR Part 65?

14 CFR Part 65 specifically addresses the certification of airmen other than flight crewmembers. This regulation outlines the requirements for various types of aviation personnel, such as air traffic control tower operators, parachute riggers, and repairmen, setting standards for their training, certification, and responsibilities. The focus here is on ensuring that individuals outside of the pilot and flight crew categories have met the necessary qualifications to perform their roles in aviation safely and effectively.

In contrast, options that relate to aircraft maintenance procedures, inspection protocols, and airworthiness criteria, while crucial to aviation safety, are governed by other parts of the Federal Aviation Regulations. For example, maintenance procedures are covered under 14 CFR Part 43, while airworthiness standards and inspection protocols fall under various other parts that specifically pertain to aircraft operation and maintenance. This highlights the distinct scope of Part 65, which is exclusively concerned with the qualifications and certification process for non-crewmember airmen.
