Which regulation governs a foreign-registered aircraft operating into the United States?

Explanation:
When an airline operates into the United States, it must follow the FAA rules that govern scheduled carriers, which are FAR Part 121. This part covers the full range of airline operations—flight crew qualifications and duty/rest, maintenance programs, dispatch and flight planning, equipment requirements, training, and required recordkeeping. The aircraft’s country of registration doesn’t exempt it from Part 121 when operating into U.S. airspace; the FAA applies these rules to ensure consistent safety for international airline operations. Other parts exist for different types of operation—Part 135 for on-demand services and Part 91 for private, non-scheduled flying—but for an airline operation into the U.S., Part 121 is the governing regulation.
