Who has ROW at point HUGHES?

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

Answer: (D)

Right-of-way rules govern how aircraft avoid each other when paths converge. The aircraft on the right has priority, and the other must maneuver to stay clear. At point HUGHES, Whiskey sits to the right of Echo as their tracks converge. That means Whiskey has the ROW over Echo. To stay clear of Whiskey, Echo should yield by adjusting course to the west to parallel Highway 90, which provides a safe, lateral separation path. So the proper action is that Whiskey has ROW over Echo, and Echo should turn west to parallel Highway 90 to maintain separation.
