Which CFR Part prescribes standard instrument approach procedures to civil airports in the United States and the weather minimums that apply to landings under IFR at those airports?

The regulation being tested is the part that covers Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and the IFR weather minimums for civil airports in the United States. This part codifies how SIAPs are published and the minimums that apply to landings under IFR, so pilots know the lowest allowable altitude (or decision altitude/height) and the required visibility for each approach. Those minimums are published with each instrument approach procedure and vary by approach type (ILS, LNAV, LPV, etc.) and aircraft category, providing the safe limits necessary to complete an IFR landing. The other parts govern different topics, such as general operating rules or airman certification, not instrument approaches.
