Power-driven aircraft must give way to those towing what?

Power-driven aircraft must give way to those towing other aircraft or objects such as banners, as a matter of standard aviation regulations. This requirement is in place primarily for safety reasons. Towed objects, like banners, often create a unique flight path and can be less maneuverable than power-driven aircraft, which can pose a collision risk if proper attention is not given.

The need for power-driven aircraft to yield to those towing is rooted in the potential for erratic handling and decreased visibility for the pilots of towing aircraft. In this scenario, the aircraft that is towing has limitations on its maneuverability and is often in a designated traffic pattern that is necessary for this type of operation.

The other scenarios provided, such as passengers, heavy cargo, or emergency services, do not have the same regulatory requirements for yielding established in aviation law. While emergency services may take priority in certain circumstances, the specific regulation regarding yielding does not apply in the context of towing.
