Whoa guy! Right-of Way is assigned in 91.113, and there is nothing there
that gives airplanes right-of-way over helicopters. 2) A glider has the right-of-way over an airship, powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft. (3) An airship has the right-of-way over a powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft. Doesn't the ordering here imply it (at the least)? Does anyone disagree that the general idea here is the less maneuverability options an aircraft has, the more right of way it has? Maybe it's not fair for gyrocopters, but helicopters can go up, down, sideways, and backwards -- or hover. They got more options than everybody else. Speaking of helicopters, on my checkride one kept popping up and down next to the runway I was using for all the landing assessments. There was lots of corn growing, so when he was on the ground you couldn't see him. I took off on a x-wind takeoff and he suddenly popped up at the far end, where I was heading. He hovered there practicing not drifting onto my runway. It was a little disconcerting because from 1500 feet away he looked awful close to my centerline. |
