What is a Legal Interpretation?
The FAA Office of the Chief Counsel issues Legal Interpretations in response to specific questions about how 14 CFR applies in a given situation. They're authoritative agency reads of the regulation — pilots, CFIs, and operators cite them to resolve ambiguous compliance questions. Not preceedential like court opinions, but binding on the agency.
