Civil Aircraft are:

Civil Aircraft are:

• A. Aircraft other than public aircraft.
• B. Public aircraft only.
• C. Military aircraft.
• D. Aircraft used for private recreational flights.

Answer: (A)

Civil aircraft are those not used for public government functions. In FAA terms, public aircraft are owned or used by government agencies to perform official duties, while civil aircraft cover all other operations, including private, commercial, and corporate flights. So the correct way to define civil aircraft is as aircraft other than public aircraft. The other choices don’t fit because public aircraft are the government-operated category, not the whole set; military aircraft are separate from civil; and while private recreational flights are indeed civil, that option describes only a subset and not the full definition of civil aircraft.
