Right of way

Hi!,

a PPL student here!

I'm in Germany and I'm using the Jeppesen books (as per my flying school).

After having read a couple of times some FAA books... I can say I like them way better than the ones provided here in Germany.

Anyway, to the point, my question is regarding the following statement in the Jeppesen book:

"Aircraft that are taking off always have the right of way"

I always thought it was the Aircraft that is LANDING the one that has the right of way...

Then I checked one of the FAA books and it states:

"14 CFR part 91, states that aircraft, while on final approach
to land or while landing, have the right-of-way over other
aircraft in flight or operating on the surface."


I'm missing something here, as I don't think the Jeppeson would be so far off.

What am I missing?


thanks!,
