Which aircraft has the right-of-way over all other air traffic?
A
A balloon.
B
An aircraft in distress.✓ Correct Answer
C
An aircraft on final approach to land.
Explanation
14 CFR 91.113(c) states that an aircraft in distress has the right-of-way over all other air traffic. A balloon has right-of-way only over other categories of aircraft, and an aircraft on final approach has right-of-way over aircraft in flight or on the surface, but neither outranks an aircraft in distress.
