Who has ROW at point IGOR?

• A. Whiskey has ROW over Echo (turn west to parallel Hwy 90)
• B. Echo has ROW over Hughes (turn north to parallel Hwy 88)
• C. Fog has ROW over Hughes (turn east to parallel Hwy 90)
• D. Hughes has ROW over Fog (turn south to parallel Hwy 89)

Answer: (D)

Right-of-way rules in the air give priority to the aircraft that is on the other’s right. When two aircraft would intersect at a fix, the one to the right has the ROW. In this scenario, Hughes is on Fog’s right, so Hughes has the ROW over Fog. Therefore Fog must yield and maneuver away, which is shown by turning south to parallel Highway 89. The other options would imply the opposite priority or unsuitable maneuvering, which isn’t how ROW is applied at a converging point.
