What action is required when two aircraft of the same category converge, but not head-on?
A
The faster aircraft shall give way.
B
The aircraft on the left shall give way.✓ Correct Answer
C
Each aircraft shall give way to the right.
Explanation
14 CFR 91.113(d) says that when aircraft of the same category converge at about the same altitude (not head-on), the aircraft to the other's right has the right-of-way, so the aircraft on the left must give way. Speed does not decide right-of-way, and altering course to the right is the head-on rule.
