Who is most likely to file a Part 13 or Part 16?

• A. Tenant
• B. Airport management
• C. Airlines
• D. FAA inspector

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that Part 13 and Part 16 cover how enforcement actions and related hearings are filed and handled with the FAA. These parts are used by a party who believes they have standing to challenge or participate in an enforcement action, seeking due process or relief.

A tenant is the most likely filer because they have a direct, personal interest in airport leases and operations. If a lease issue, penalty, or other management action affects the tenant’s rights or financial interests, they would pursue the appropriate enforcement or adjudicatory path under these parts to contest or resolve the matter. Airport management, by contrast, is typically the party enforcing rules rather than initiating an enforcement action against themselves; airlines are involved but not the usual initiators; an FAA inspector is part of the agency enforcing rules, not filing such actions.
