Which ATA chapter covers flight operations and general operating procedures?

• A. Administrative
• B. Support
• C. Operations
• D. Airplane Statics

Answer: (C)

ATA chapters organize topics by the area of operation or system they cover. Flight operations and general operating procedures are about how the aircraft is actually flown—the crew's actions, standard procedures, checklists, normal and abnormal procedures, and the performance considerations that govern daily operation. That kind of content fits under the Operations chapter, which groups operational guidance and procedures for flying the airplane. Administrative topics cover paperwork, approvals, and administrative tasks; Support topics deal with logistics and maintenance support activities; Airplane Statics (older terminology) refers to static data related to the aircraft. So for guidance on how the aircraft is operated in flight, the Operations chapter is the correct fit.
