Collision hazards.
Collision hazards.
Bottom line
No person may operate an aircraft so close to another aircraft as to create a collision hazard. If another aircraft appears to have no relative motion, it is likely to be on a collision course. The pilot should make certain that the approach and takeoff paths are clear of other aircraft.
