Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) Practice Test

Under which FAR parts is a voluntary disclosure program for immunity from violation prosecution available?

1. Parts 91 and 121

2. Parts 121 and 135

3. Parts 135 and 145

4. Parts 61 and 87

The correct answer is: Parts 121 and 135

The voluntary disclosure program is relevant to the aviation industry's safety and regulatory compliance, as it allows operators under certain FAR parts to disclose violations without facing prosecution, provided they meet the program's conditions. The correct answer pertains specifically to Parts 121 and 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). Part 121 governs the operation of scheduled air carriers, which are typically larger commercial airlines, while Part 135 covers the operation of commuter and on-demand operations, including air taxis. Both parts are critical for ensuring safety and compliance in the aviation sector. A voluntary disclosure program under these parts encourages operators to proactively disclose issues without the fear of punitive action, fostering a culture of safety and accountability. The other choices reference FAR parts that do not align with the provisions and protections offered by the voluntary disclosure program. Parts 91 and 145, for instance, pertain to general aviation operations and repair stations, respectively, while Parts 61 and 87 address pilot certification and the use of aircraft radio equipment, neither of which aligns with the provisions of the voluntary disclosure program meant for commercial service regulations.
