So, Gliders Always Have the Right-of-way Over Airplanes?

Notes:

BUT IT IS WRONG!!

The citation is not complete – there are, of course, clear rules for aircraft (of any type) in distress, and for aircraft involved in refueling or towing operations . . .

But in general, gliders have the right of way over airplanes in only ONE very specific instance . . . And not a common instance at that!
