18
Q

What are the rules when it comes to overtaking another aircraft?

A

Q

What are the right of way rules when landing?

A
  • When two or more heavier-than-air aircraft are approaching an aerodrome or an operating site for the purpose of landing, aircraft at the higher level shall give way to aircraft at the lower level, but the latter shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of another which is in the final stages of an approach to land, or to overtake that aircraft
