Air Law
No subsequent change in the positions of the two aircraft relative to each other
relieves the overtaking aircraft of this obligation until it has passed and is fully
clear of the overtaken aircraft.
An aircraft is considered overtaking when it is approaching another aircraft
from behind within a 70° angle relative to the aircraft's longitudinal axis.
At night, this can be identified by the position light.
1.4.1.4 Landing aircraft
An aircraft in flight or an aircraft maneuvering on the ground (or water) must
give way to aircraft that are in the process of landing or making the final part of
the approach for landing.
When two or more aircraft, heavier than air, are approaching an airfield to land,
all aircraft must give way to any aircraft at a lower altitude.
This rule must not be exploited by aircraft to cut in front or overtake another
aircraft making the final part of the approach for landing at a lower altitude.
Powered aircraft are always required to give way to gliders.
A pilot aware that another aircraft is forced to land must give way to that
aircraft.

1.4.2.1 Moving aircraft
- When two aircraft are on opposite or nearly opposite courses, both aircraft
must stop, and, if possible, alter course to the right when passing.
- When two aircraft are on converging courses, the aircraft with the other on
its right side must give way.
