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.

I think in this case the question is, "who has shields?"- Hide quoted text -

When you are submitting reports to FAA or NTSB, do you get fined for
misspelling balloon or rombulan? I just wanted to know because I plan
on submitting a report the next time I come into contact with an
unresponsive flock of warbirds.
