RIGHT OF WAY – means the right to proceed without alteration of course. The aircraft that has the right of
way is required to maintain its heading and speed and observe the other aircraft whilst the collision risk
exists.

Right of way

1. When two aircrafts are approaching head – on or approximately so and there is danger of collision,
each shall alter its heading to the right
2. Overtaking–an a/c that is being over taken has the right of way and the over taking a/c, whether
climbing, descending or in horizontal flight shall keep out of the way by altering its heading to the
right
”An over taking aircraft is an aircraft that approaches from the rear on a line forming an angle of less

stages of an approach to land

SURFACE MOVEMENT OF AIRCRAFT

• Head on – Each shall stop and if practicable, alter its course to the right

• Converging course – The one which has the other on its right shall give way

• Overtaking – an a/c that is being overtaken has the right of way and the overtaking a/c, shall keep
well clear of the other a/c

display lights which indicate that fact

• Angle of coverage : Parallel to the longitudinal axis to 70 deg either side (white light)

• Parallel to the longitudinal axis to 110 deg (red and green)

• Anti – collision light is not required by law for a/c less than 5700kg AUW

FAILURE OF LIGHTS

1. Navigation lights :- ATC is to be informed and the aircraft is to land and have the light repaired
before continuing the flight

2. Anti – collision lights :- Aircraft can continue flight and repair it before next flight

ADHERENSE TO FPL

1. A pilot should adhere (follow) to the current flight plan .


2. If a controlled flight deviates from the FPL, the following action is to be taken
 Deviation in track – Adjust the heading to come back on track
 Variation in 10 kts TAS/ 0.02 Mach – Inform ATC
 2 mins +/- in ETA – Revised ETA should be passed to the ATC

Time – All times are in UTC (Universal co-ordinated time)

( D-LINK) it should be accurate within 1 sec of UTC.

WEATHER DETERIORATION BELOW VMC

If it becomes evident that a controlled VFR flight will not remain in VMC , the pilot is to

a) Request to continue to destination Aerodrome by another route remaining in VMCor


b) Land at the nearest Aerodrome or
c) If operating in the control Zone ( CTR ) , request for SVFR ( Special VFR ) clearance or
d) File an IFR flight plan ( PLN)

COMMUNICATION RULE

A controlled flight is required to maintain two way RT communications with the controlling air traffic unit

 Squawk 7600
 Maintain visual watch of signals
 Maintain VMC and land in the nearest airport & inform the ATC at earliest via LL

Communication failure in IMC
