Which Part is primarily concerned with airspace designations and reporting points?

• A. 14 CFR Part 71
• B. 14 CFR Part 97
• C. 14 CFR Part 91
• D. 14 CFR Part 119

Answer: (A)

The key idea is identifying where the rules for naming and outlining airspace and the fixes pilots use to report their position are written. The regulation that specifically covers designation of airspace areas and reporting points sets up how airspace is classified (like Class A, B, C, D, E, and G) and where the reporting points and related routes sit within that framework. This is the part that directly defines the airspace structure and the fixes used for reporting in ATC communication and navigation. Other parts govern different topics: instrument approach procedures, general operating rules, and certification/operational requirements for carriers. Those areas don’t provide the framework for airspace designations and reporting points, so the part focused on designating airspace areas and reporting points is the one that best fits this topic.
