Merge Temporary Flight Restriction

Since a TFR is part of the Federal Aviation Regulations it seems that we should combine the stub with this wikipedia article. I propose this be done after 14 days from today if there are no objections. Alan.ca 11:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

1. Oppose. A TFR is a completely separate item, simply defined within the FARs. It is a needed sub-article, and a separate subject. There are far too many items/regulations within the FAR to cover in one article. AuburnPilot^talk 21:19, 30 October 2006 _(UTC)

Actually, a TFR is a part of the FAR, it is section 91.145 to be precise. Alan.ca 22:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

1. Oppose. I agree that TFR is a part of the FAR however, there just aren't enough details in this article yet to justify putting a stub in here. We've merely outlined the FAR, and haven't even put any details for the outline. I agree that we should at least put the TFR in the external links section at the bottom.

I created a section, regulations of interest. While I agree it would not be appropriate to list all FARs in this article, there is only one of interest at this time and it seems that it can fit here just nicely. If the regulations of interest section became too large, at that point, it could be considered to branch some of the more lenghty topics into their own articles. Alan.ca 22:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

1. Oppose. You went ahead and moved this, even though there were only objections and no support. I also object. Yes, TFR is part of FAR. But people looking up info about TFRs might not care about any other FARs.

Of interest to whom? I'm a pilot, and to us everything in the FARs is supposed to be "of interest" - and there are a lot of other more important sections than TFR. I don't really like TFR ("of interest" to the general public) being thrown in with FAR (of interest mainly to pilots) but if you're going to do it, you should at least change that heading. I'm trying to think of what to call it.--Justfred 23:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• I am not certain that is the appropriate heading for the section, it would also be possible to group the more well known regulations by the FAR section. Are there other stub articles on wikipedia providing details about other sections of the FAR? 24.141.167.197 17:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

FAR part 61 (private pilot) and/vs part 135 (commercial pilot) are pretty interesting to pilots; most of the rest are important but I don't hear pilots referencing them by section.--Justfred 21:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Suggest adding a sub page that explains FAR part 117

This a new FAR that will go into effect on 04-Jan-2014. Part 121 pilots would benefit in having a clear, concise and generic interpretation of the regulation. Garret.healy (talk) 13:56, 30 September 2012 (UTC) garret.healy

Merger Proposal: Part 91 Operator

The page in questions is not substantially distinct in a way that can't be covered under Part 91 of this page and potentially Part 135 as well. Wi7less 22:45, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

"Federal Aviation Regulations" vs "Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations"

The lede paragraph says "The FARs are part of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).", implying that the FARs are not the same thing as Title 14 (but rather what mathematicians would call a "proper subset" of it). This is at odds with the fact that the "Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations" article redirects to this "Federal Aviation Regulations" article.

I am not qualified to have an opinion whether the two things (Title 14 and the FARs) are identical. But clearly they either are or are not. If they are, that part about "are part of Title 14" should be something more like "comprise Title 14". And if they aren't, there should be an article about Title 14, as there is about nearly every other Title of the CFR. TypoBoy (talk) 01:31, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

I changed that sentence to read, "The FARs comprise Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)." If you think I've got that wrong, please explain it here. If the consensus is that Title 14 and the FARs aren't identical, we can change it back. (And also make a real article, rather than a redirect, at Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.) TypoBoy (talk) 15:17, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

I agree with TypoBoy. It is my understanding that 14CFR is the same body of legislation as the Federal Aviation Regulations. The acronym “FAR” is not a good one because it is ambiguous alongside other Federal Regulations with an A in the middle. (Example: Federal Agriculture Regulations 7CFR.) Therefore 14CFR is considered to avoid ambiguity. Dolphin (t) 23:08, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Regulations for Outgassing / Smoke Emissions Upon Combustion

• I am in the process for looking what, if any, (De-facto) International Standards exist for Outgassing / Smoke Emissions Upon Combustion
• So far it seems the Smoke-developed index page is the most complete on-wiki
• Then i looked to this page, as supposedly, AC 25.853-1 - Flammability Requirements for Aircraft Seat Cushions Document Information Covers some of this?
• Either way it seems "UL 723 and ULC S102" are the relevant international standards?
• I am just documenting this here to show my train of thoughts of sorts, and also ask if anyone here has experience/knowledge on this
