SERA.3210
Right-of-way
a) The aircraft that has the right-of-way shall maintain its heading and speed
b) An aircraft that is aware that the manoeuvrability of another aircraft is impaired shall give way to that aircraft
Right-of-way (c)(1)
c) An aircraft that is obliged by the following rules to keep out of the way of another shall aovid passing over, under or in front of the other, unless it passes well clear and takes into account the effect of aircraft wake turbulence
(1) Approaching head-on. When two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and there is danger of collisin, each shall alter its heading to the right
Right-of-way(c)(2)(i)(ii)(iii(iv)
(2) Converging. When two aircraft are converging at approximitaley the same level, the aircraft that has the other on its right shall give way, excepts as follows:
(i) power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft shall give way to airships, sailplanes and balloons,
(ii) airships shall give way to sailplanes and balloons;
(iii) sailplanes shall give way to balloons
(iv) power-driven aircraft shall give way to aircraft which are seen to be towing other aircraft or objects
Right-of-way(c)(3)(i)
(3) Overtaking. An overtaking aircraft is an aircraft that approaches another from the rear on a line forming an angle of less than 70 degrees with the plane of symmetry of the latter, i.e is in such a position with reference to the other aircraft that at night it should be unable to see either aircraft’s left port) or right (starboard) navigation lights. An aircraft that is being overtaken has the right-of-way and the overtaking aircraft, wether climbing, descending or in horizontal flight, shall keep out of the way of the other aircraft by altering its heading to the right, and no subsequent change in the relative postions of the two aircraft shall absolve the overtaking aircraft from this obligation until it is entirely past and clear
(i) Sailplanes overtaking. A sailplane overtaking another sailplane may alter its course to the right or to the left
Right-of-way(c)(4)(i)(ii)
(4) Landing. An aircraft in flight, or operating on the ground or water, shall give way to aircraft landing or inthe final stages of an approach to land
(i) When two or more heavier-than-air aircraft are approaching an aerodrome or an operating site for the purpose of landing, aircraft at the higher level shall give way to aircraft at the lower level, but the latter shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of another which is in the final stages of an approach to land, or to overtake that aircraft. Nevertheless, power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft shall give way to sailplanes
(ii) Emergency landing. An aircraft that is aware that another is compelled to land shall give way to that aircraft
Right-of-way(c)(5)
Taking off. An aircraft taxxing on the manoeuvring area of an aerodrome shall give way to aircraft taking off or about to take off
Right-of-way(d)(1)(i)(ii)(iii)
d) Surface movement of aircraft, persons and veichles.
(1) In case of danger of collision between two aircraft taxiing on the movement are of an aerodrome or equivalent part of an operating site, the following shall apply:
(i) when two aircraft are approaching head on, or approximetaly so, each shall stop or where practicable alter its course to the right so as to keep well clear;
(ii) when two aircraft are on a converging course, the one which has the other on its right shall give way;
(ii) an aircraft which is being overtaken by another aircraft shall have the right-of-way and the overtaking aircraft shall keep well clear of the other aircraft
Right-of-way(d)(2)(3)
(2) At a controlled aerodrome an aircraft taxiing on the manoeuvring area shall stop and hold at all runway-holding positions unless an explicit clearence to enter or cross the runway has been issued by the aerodrome control tower
(3) An aircraft taxiing on the manoeuvring are shall stop and hold at all lighted stop bars and max proceed further in accordance with (2) when the are switched off.
Right-of-way(4)(i)(ii)(A)(B)(C)
(4) Movement of persons and veichles at aerodromes
(i) The movement of persons or veichles, including towed aircraft, on the manoeuvring are of an aerodrome shall be controlled by the aerodrome control tower as necessary to avoid hazard to them or to aircraft landing, taxiing or taking off.
(ii) In conditions where low visibility procedures are in operation:
(A) persons and veichles operating on the manoeuvring are of an aerodrom shall be restricted to the essential minimum and particular regard shall be given to the requirements to protect the critical and sensitive area(s) of radio navigation aids;
(B) subhetc to the provisions of point (iii), the method or methods to separate vehicles and taxiing aircraft shall be as specified by the air navigation service provider (‘ANSP’) and approved by the competent authority taking into account the aids available;
(C) when mixed ILS and MLS Category II or Category III precision intrument operations are taking place to the same runway continuously, the more retrictive ILS or MLS critical and sensitive areas shall be protected
Right-of-way(4)(iii)(iv)(A)(B)(C)(D)
(iii) Emergency veichles proceeding to the assistance of an aircraft in disress shall be afforded priority over all other surface movement traffic.
(iv) Subject to provision in (iii), veichles on the manoeuvring area shall be required to comply with the following rules:
(A) veichles and veichles towing aircraft shall give way to aircraaft which are landing, taking-off or taxiing;
(B) veichles shall give way to other veichles towing aifract;
(C) veichles shall give way to other veichles in accordance with air traffic services unit instructions;
(D) notwithstanding the provision of (A), (B) and (C), veichles and veichles towing aircraft shall comply with instructions issued by aerodrome control tower.
GM1 SERA.3210(d)(3) Right-of-way
UNSERVICEABLE STOP BAR - CONTINGENCY MEASURES
In situations where the lit stop bars cannot be turned off because of technical problem, the following contingency measures may, inter alia, be considerd:
(a) phisically disconnecting the respective lit stop bar from its power supply;
(b) phisically obscuring the light of the lit stop bar;
(c) using a different route, until the malfunctioning siystem has been repaired
In case of implementation of (a) or (b), a marshaller or a follow-me veichle may need to be provided to lead the aircraft to cross the stop bar. Moreover, in case of implementation of (b), vase should be exercides to ensure correct implementation of the measure to avoid misunderstandings by the flight crew
In any case, the measure taken should not undermine the principle that a lit stop bar must not be crossed
GM1 SERA.3210(d)(4)(ii)(B) Right-of-way
CONTROL OF PERSON AND VEICHLES AT AERODROME
In prescribing the separation method(s) between veichles and taxiing aircraft, the availability of ligthning, markings, signals, and signage should be normally be taken into account
