Which aircraft takes precedence if it is towing another aircraft during a convergence?

In scenarios involving aircraft convergence, the aircraft that is towing another aircraft takes precedence over the aircraft being towed. This rule is established to ensure the safe operation of aircraft and to account for the dynamics involved when one aircraft is attached to another. The towing aircraft is responsible for maneuvering and controlling the flight path, which can be critical in preventing collisions and maintaining safe distances from other aircraft.

When determining right of way in aviation, a towing aircraft is treated as a single entity with the towed aircraft, thus emphasizing the importance of the towing aircraft’s position and actions during convergence. This priority helps maintain a clear understanding of responsibilities and contributes to overall flight safety in busy airspace.
