When two aircraft areon converging headings at approximately the same

height, the aircraft that has the other on its right shall giveway, except that:

• power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft shall giveway to airships, gliders and

balloons;

• airships shall giveway to gliders and balloons;

• gliders shall giveway to balloons; and

• power-driven aircraft shall giveway to aircraft that are seen tobe towing

other aircraft or objects (CAR 162).

When two aircraft are approachinghead-onor approximately so and

there is danger of collision, each shall alter its heading to the right.

An aircraft that is being overtaken has the right-of-way and the overtaking

aircraft, whether climbing, descending, or in horizontal flight, shall keep out

of theway of the other aircraft by altering its heading to the right, and no

subsequent change in the relative positions of the two aircraft shall absolve

the overtaking aircraft from this obligation until it is entirely past and clear.
