“ Aircraft, while on final approach to land, or while landing, have the right-of—way over other aircraft in flight or operating on the surface. When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the aircraft at the lower altitude has the right—of-way, but it shall not take advantage of this rule to out in in front of another which is on final approach to land, or to overtake that aircraft. ”

“ Under Part 60 of the Civil Air Regulations, a pilot would be expected to clear his position in preparation for landing, and clear himself in each turn, should he make turns to the base leg and final approach. In the absence of a sequence and on the basis of the clearance received, it was not imprudent of the Cessna pilot to assume that the area was clear of conflicting traffic. Nevertheless, the pilot of the Cessna 140 should have observed the Aeronca L-16 as he entered the downwind leg if he had properly cleared his position as he entered. ”
