LEG OF FLIGHT definition.

• A. A portion of a flight series between stops
• B. A complete flight from origin to destination
• C. A layover
• D. A maintenance window

Answer: (A)

A leg of flight is a single flight segment between two consecutive stops in a flight sequence. In a trip that goes from New York to Chicago to Seattle, each individual flight—New York to Chicago and Chicago to Seattle—is a leg. The entire journey from origin to final destination, which includes multiple legs, is not a leg itself but the full itinerary. A layover refers to the time the aircraft spends on the ground at a stop between legs, not the flight segment. A maintenance window is just a scheduled period for aircraft upkeep and isn’t a flight segment. So, describing a leg as a portion of a flight series between stops best captures its meaning.
