Transport category
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transport category is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) designation for aircraft categories.
Among these are normal, utility, acrobatic, commuter, manned free balloon, special classes and transport. Each of the aforementioned aircraft categories must comply with FAA-mandated standards in order to be granted an air worthiness certificate. The air worthiness certificate is required in order for the aircraft to be operated. Transport category aircraft standards are spelled out in Federal Aviation Regulations Part 25.
