When two balloons operating at different altitudes are converging the PIC of what balloon shall give way to the other balloon?
When two balloons operating at different altitudes are converging, the pilot-in-command of the balloon at the higher altitude shall give way to the balloon at the lower altitude.
Which heading should the pilot turn when two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and there is a risk of collision?
Where two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and there is a risk of collision, the pilot-in-command of each aircraft shall alter its heading to the right.
602.24No person shall operate an aircraft in formation with other aircraft except by pre-arrangement between
