Part 91.113 (Right-of-Way Rules)

Part 91.113 outlines the rules for determining right-of-way between aircraft to promote safe and orderly traffic. Generally, aircraft on the right have the right-of-way over those on the left. When approaching head-on, both pilots should turn right to avoid each other. If different types of aircraft are converging—such as an aircraft and a glider—the more maneuverable or less aircraft takes precedence. Pilots must also give way to aircraft performing special operations, like search and rescue. Overall, these rules help pilots understand who should yield in various situations to prevent collisions and ensure safe navigation.
