See the geometry. Identify who gives way. Understand the rule.
What changes when the geometry changes?
Compare three encounters between powered aeroplanes. View the situation first, then play the avoiding action.
Can you follow the decision?
A focused decision tree for two powered aeroplanes in flight, at approximately the same level. Landing, towing and impaired manoeuvrability require separate consideration.
Does the aircraft category change the answer?
Explore the category exceptions for converging traffic, then examine the overtaking sector.
What would you choose in this situation?
Read the facts, select an action and check the reason.
Three encounters. Three different rules.
Compare the situations, then hide the answers and retrieve them from memory.
Can you recognise the governing rule?
Four original practice questions on the encounters in this chapter.
