Hello-


I have a quick question/concern regarding FAR 91.113d. *I pretty much
grasp the concept well. *Basically apply the acronym BGAAR (baloons,
gliders, airships, airplanes and helo's). *For example, If I am flying
my Cessna and a balloon is about 2 mi ahead of me I will alter course
to the right and give it the ROW. *Likewise for any of the other items
on that list except, helo's, right?


Well in the event that I come across a vessel that is not listed in
91.113d, what do I do? *Yesterday I was flying and a Rombulan Warbird
decloaked and was dead ahead of me. *I tried to hail him but I had no
luck. *Since he was traveling at impulse power I was able to maneuver
around him. *There was no wake turbulence or anything of that sort.


Although starships are not included in 91.113d, I typically just give
them the right away. *Its easy on planet earth since we are in
Federation airspace, all federation vessels are not cloaked and tend
to travel at impulse power. *I am concerned about the Rombulan Warbird
however.


What should I do in this case especially if I cannot hail the
Warbird?


Who has better manuverability? *Better manuverability has to give way.- Hide quoted text -


Nope, you think a glider has less manuverability than an airship?
