Right of way and collision avoidanceQuestion 3 of 351

You fly a glider. A balloon converges at the same altitude, on your right. Who must give way?

  1. The balloon, because the glider has the balloon on its left.
  2. The balloon, because it is the slower aircraft.
  3. You, because the glider gives way to balloons.
  4. Neither, because both aircraft are unpowered.
Show answer

Correct answer: You, because the glider gives way to balloons.

A glider gives way to balloons. This exception overrides the rule for the aircraft on the right.
