What does AFT stand for?

• A. Rear of the aircraft
• B. After Flight Time
• C. Auxiliary Flight Tank
• D. Airframe Fuselage Test

Answer: (A)

In aviation, aft is the directional term for the rear part of the aircraft, toward the tail. That direct meaning makes “rear of the aircraft” the best fit for what AFT stands for, since crews and manuals use aft to describe locations like the aft cabin, aft galley, or aft doors. The other options aren’t standard terms or abbreviations used to describe aircraft direction, so they don’t align with how AFT is used in flight terminology.
