Which class designation would apply to a single-engine aircraft intended for land operation?

• A. Single-engine land
• B. Multiengine land
• C. Single-engine sea
• D. Multiengine sea

Answer: (A)

Class designation tells you how many engines the airplane has and where it’s designed to operate. For an airplane with one engine that is intended to operate on land, the designation that fits describes a single engine and land operations. That combination confirms it is certified for land airports and normal ground operations, not water.

If it were designed for water, it would be a single-engine sea, and if it had more than one engine, it would be multiengine (either land or sea).
