Normal ship-navigation and collision laws don't apply to aircraft, with one exception. The President can extend this part's rules abroad if an agreement allows it. Remedies under this part add to, rather than replace, other legal remedies.
(a) Nonapplication. Ship-navigation laws and collision-prevention rules generally don't apply to aircraft or to vessels connected with them, except as the International Navigational Rules Act of 1977 provides.
(b) Extending Application Outside United States. The President can extend this part's rules to apply outside the United States, for however long and in whatever way the President thinks necessary, when (1) an international agreement gives the U.S. government the power to do that, and (2) the President decides it's in the national interest.
(c) Additional Remedies. Any remedy available under this part adds to, rather than replaces, remedies available under other laws.
Except as provided in the International Navigational Rules Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), the navigation and shipping laws of the United States and the rules for the prevention of collisions do not apply to aircraft or to the navigation of vessels related to those aircraft.
The President may extend (in the way and for periods the President considers necessary) the application of this part to outside the United States when—
an international arrangement gives the United States Government authority to make the extension; and
the President decides the extension is in the national interest.
A remedy under this part is in addition to any other remedies provided by law.
