 RulesIn terms of the Rules of the Air, the
pilot with the mountain to her right has right of
way because she cannot turn to the right. So
if the mountain is to your left you have to
"yield" to oncoming traffic, by turning to the
right. Thus the pilots heading such that the
ridge is on their left have to be particularly
ready to get the hell out of the way.
 CommunicationsBefore thinking of
communications, just remember that a sharp LOOK
OUT is the essential thing on the ridges (after
flying the ship correctly). Its no use making
the correct radio calls and then colliding with a
fast-approaching glider because you are looking
at the radio display.
