PA.III.B.K3 Right-of-way rules.
1 / 8
1. A seaplane and a motorboat are on crossing courses. If the motorboat is to the left of the seaplane, which has the right-of-way?
Answer (C) is correct. (14 CFR 91.115) When aircraft, or an aircraft and a vessel (e.g., a motorboat), are on crossing courses, the aircraft or vessel to the other’s right has the right-of-way. Since the seaplane is to the motorboat’s right, the seaplane has the right-of-way.
2 / 8
2. Which aircraft has the right-of-way over the other aircraft listed?
Answer (B) is correct. (14 CFR 91.113) An aircraft towing or refueling another aircraft has the right-of-way over all engine-driven aircraft. An airship is an engine-driven, lighter-than-air aircraft that can be steered.
3 / 8
3. What action is required when two aircraft of the same category converge, but not head-on?
Answer (A) is correct. (14 CFR 91.113) When two aircraft of the same category converge (but not head-on), the aircraft to the other’s right has the right-of-way. Thus, an airplane on the left gives way to the airplane on the right.
4 / 8
4. What action should the pilots of a glider and an airplane take if on a head-on collision course?
Answer (A) is correct. (14 CFR 91.113) When aircraft are approaching head-on, or nearly so (regardless of category), each aircraft shall alter course to the right.
5 / 8
5. Which aircraft has the right-of-way over all other air traffic?
Answer (A) is correct. (14 CFR 91.113) An aircraft in distress has the right-of-way over all other aircraft.
6 / 8
6. Which aircraft has the right-of-way over the other aircraft listed?
Answer (B) is correct. (14 CFR 91.113) If aircraft of different categories are converging, the right-of-way depends upon who has the least maneuverability. A glider has right-of-way over an airship, airplane, or rotorcraft.
7 / 8
7. When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the right-of-way belongs to the aircraft
Answer (C) is correct. (14 CFR 91.113) When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the aircraft at the lower altitude has the right-of-way, but it shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of or overtake another aircraft.
8 / 8
8. An airplane and an airship are converging. If the airship is left of the airplane’s position, which aircraft has the right-of-way?
Answer (C) is correct. (14 CFR 91.113) When aircraft of different categories are converging, the less maneuverable aircraft has the right-of-way. Thus, the airship has the right-of-way in this question.
