Which of the following is a listed part of the ops specs?

• A. Flight planning
• B. Marketing
• C. Safety management
• D. Definitions

Answer: (D)

Ops specs are the FAA-approved authorizations that spell out exactly what flight operations you’re allowed to conduct, including aircraft, routes, and operating conditions. A Definitions section is included as a listed part to define terms used throughout the document, so everyone—pilots, dispatchers, and inspectors—reads terms the same way. This clarity helps prevent misinterpretation of obligations and permissions across the entire ops specs.

Flight planning is an ongoing process that informs operations, not a listed section of the ops specs. Marketing is a business function, and safety management relates to the overall safety program rather than a defined section within the ops specs. Definitions, by design, is the element that organize and clarify the terminology used in the specs.
