Right of way ?

[Alkemac]

All,

Appreciate any and all help with the below questions:-

1) What are the right of way rules when two aircraft are approaching head on ?
2) What are the right of way rules when two aircraft are on converging courses ?
3) What are the right of way rules when aircraft are overtaking ?
4) Who has right of way – an aircraft about to take off, or an aircraft on final approach to land ?
5) Who has right of way – an aircraft about to backtrack the runway, or an aircraft on final approach to land ?

Thanks!

Right of way
91.06.7 (1) An aircraft which has the right-of-way, shall maintain its heading
and speed, but nothing in these provisions shall relieve the pilot-in-command of
an aircraft from the responsibility of taking such action as will best avert collision.
(2) An aircraft which is obliged, by the provisions of this subpart, to keep
out of the way of another aircraft, shall avoid passing over or under the other
aircraft, or crossing ahead or such aircraft, unless passing well clear.
(3) When two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and
there is danger of collision, each aircraft shall alter its heading to the right.
(4) When two aircraft are converging at approximately the same level, the
aircraft which has the other aircraft on its right, shall give way, except in the
following circumstances:
(a) Power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft shall give way to airships, gliders
and balloons;
(b) airships shall give way to gliders and balloons;
(c) gliders shall give way to balloons;
(d) power-driven aircraft shall give way to aircraft which are –
(i) seen to be towing other aircraft or objects;
(ii) carrying an underslung load or are engaged in winching
operations; and
(iii) being towed or tethered.
(5) An aircraft which is being overtaken has the right-of-way and the overtaking
aircraft, whether climbing, descending or in horizontal flight, shall keep
out of the way of the overtaken aircraft by altering its heading to the right, and no
subsequent change in the relative positions of the two aircraft shall absolve the
overtaking aircraft from its obligation until such aircraft is entirely past and clear:
Provided that where a right-hand circuit is being followed at an aerodrome, the
overtaking aircraft shall alter its heading to the left.
(6) An aircraft in flight or operating on the ground or water, shall give way
to other aircraft landing or on final approach to land.
(7) (a) When two or more heavier-than-air aircraft are approaching an
aerodrome for the purpose of landing, the aircraft at the higher level shall give
way to the aircraft at the lower level, but the latter aircraft shall not take advantage
of this provision to cut in front of another aircraft which is on final approach
to land, or to overtake such aircraft.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), power-driven
heavier-than-air aircraft shall give way to gliders.
(8) An aircraft about to take-off, shall not attempt to do so until there is no
apparent risk of collision with other aircraft.
(9) An aircraft which is aware that another aircraft is compelled to land,
shall give way to such aircraft.
(10) For the purposes of this regulation, an overtaking aircraft is an aircraft
which approaches another aircraft from the rear on a line forming an angle of
less than 70 degrees with the plane of symmetry of the latter aircraft, and will
therefore be in such position with reference to the other aircraft, that by night it
should be unable to see either of the other aircraft’s wingtip navigation lights.
