Under 14 CFR § 107.37, when must a remote pilot in command yield the right-of-way to other aircraft?

Why →Under 14 CFR § 107.37(a), every small unmanned aircraft must yield the right of way to all aircraft, airborne vehicles, and launch and reentry vehicles. The regulation contains no exceptions based on aircraft type, altitude relationship, or airspace class. The drone is always required to give way.

The trap →The altitude-based option has no basis in Part 107. Altitude relationship is irrelevant. The powered-aircraft-only option incorrectly creates a type-based exception. The regulation uses the word 'all' and applies to every category of airborne vehicle.

Field note →This rule is simpler than the manned aviation right-of-way hierarchy in § 91.113, where different aircraft types yield to different types. Under Part 107, the remote pilot has one rule: yield to everything, always.
