## Opinion text

ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM:
Upon consideration of the petition for rehearing in this case, it is ordered that Paragraph number 4 on page 193 of 418 F.2d be modified to read as follows:
“4. The air traffic controller, whether or not required by the manuals, must warn of dangers reasonably apparent to him.”
We disagree with the contentions of appellant, American Airlines, that such a modification alters the rationale or dictates a different result to that reached in our original opinion.
The petition for rehearing is
Denied.
