When weather conditions permit, regardless of whether an operation is conducted under instrument flight rules or visual flight rules, vigilance shall be maintained by each person operating an aircraft so as to see and avoid other aircraft.

Even if entitled to the right-ofway, a pilot should yield if another aircraft seems too close.
