Answer 7

(3) the one on the right has the right of way.

Question 8

When two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and there is danger of collision, each pilot shall

(1) decrease airspeed.
(2) increase airspeed.
(3) alter heading to the right.
(4) alter heading to the left.

Answer 8

(3) alter heading to the right.

Question 9
