Does an aircraft have right of way over a parked vehicle on the runway?

Strictly speaking yes, because the runway is intended for aircraft.
However, it would be rather foolish of the pilot to use that right as an excuse for continuing to move since any collision would be very expensive to repair.

When parked at a curb from which direction should the driver approach the vehicle?
From the rear, front, and left side. If approaching a vehicle from the right side while parallel parked it means you've parked illegaly facing on coming traffic.
When exiting a parking spot what vechile has the right of way?
Any vehicle that was not parked.
Why do airplanes land sideways?
They don't actually land sideways, but will approach sideways depending on the amount of cross-wind. Aircraft turn into the wind, like a weathervane, so if coming in to land on a east to west runway, and the wind is from the southwest, then the aircraft will point southwest during descent. Just before the tyres contact the runway, the pilot will give it a bootful of right rudder, to align the wheels and runway. Once the tyres are in contact, the aircraft will keep reasonably straight along the runway, the pilot helping with brakes and rudder as required.
An airplane leaves a runway heading due east then turns 35 degrees to the right How much more will the airplane have to turn to be heading due south?
Aircraft leaves runway 09 heading 090 degrees (due east). Aircraft then makes a right turn of 35 degrees - new heading 125 degrees. Due south is 180 degrees 180-125 = 55 So the aircraft has to make a further right turn of 65 degrees to due heading south
Why do you want the centerline of the runway to be on the drivers right?
The centerline of the runway is in the center, not on the right.
Only the left side parked headlight works and the right hand side does not its not the bulb what could it be?
Not sure what vehicle you have but check the fuses. Some vehicles have separate fuses for left and right headlights.
Which vehicle may be operated in the path of the taxiing aircraft?
At a controlled airport any vehicle (another plane, car, fuel truck, snow plow, mower, or even a unicycle) may be operated in the path of a taxing aircraft, but they must have a clearance to do so from ground control. At an uncontrolled airport the aircraft should have the right of way but so does a pedestrian at a cross walk, so use your head.
If a car is parked too close behind you to be seen in the rear and side view mirror and you back into it who is at fault?
you are if your vehicle hit the other vehicle- you have too many mirrors on your vehilce not to notice another veh right beside you or behind you.
How does an airplane fly at night?
An aircraft has instruments that indicate the exact location, route of flying, altitude, speed of flying etc. to the pilot. You dont need sunlight to fly, land and depart an aircraft. When approaching an airport runway, you have special lightson right and left side of the runway that tell you if your approach is to high, too low or just right. And you have other lights all the way to the runway that lead you and help you land. ********************************************************************* For an instrument landing license, as opposed to DFR, you must successfully complete three touch-and-go landing and take offs....with the windshield covered. Lindbergh had no windshield in the Spirit of St Louis , it was covered by a fuel tank.

I hit an illegally parked car is it my fault?
Yes, it is. Liability can't be assessed to an inanimate object. The owner of the illegally parked car isn't inanimate, of course, but it would still not give the driver of the moving vehicle the "right" to hit the parked vehicle. As I noted in a similar question, recently one of the larger insurance carriers has been applying fault to the owners of illegally parked vehicles. To my knowledge, that carrier hasn't won a single arbitration for doing so, and has been forced to pay the claims in full. On the other hand, there could be certain circumstances where negligence -- or, at least, comparative negligence -- could be applied to the owner of an illegally parked vehicle. For instance, the car is parked on a blind curve in a no-parking zone, or of course it's parked illegally and has endangered public safety (in front of a fire hydrant, for instance). If, however, this is just a case of a driver striking an illegally parked car because the car was blocking his way, or the driver was going through a parking lot and didn't expect to see the parked car, the driver would be found at-fault. Look at it this way: Every driver of a moving vehicle has to be cautious and prepared for the unexpected. Suppose it wasn't a parked car, but a kid on a bicycle or a pedestrian. In that sense, "right-of-way" takes on a whole new meaning.
Who is at fault if a car leaving a parking space strikes a car that is illegally parked in a driving lane?
The driver of the moving vehicle. It's impossible to assess liability to an inanimate object (in this case, a parked car). And, certainly, it's aggravating when an illegally parked car is blocking the way. That's probably why it's illegal to park there, anyway. But... 1. It doesn't give someone the right to hit the parked car and, 2. A person operating a vehicle has a greater duty to make sure the way is clear. Recently, one of the larger insurance companies has been assessing liability to the owners of parked vehicles (for instance, a vehicle that has broken down and is, for all practical purposes, parked illegally on the side of the road or blocking traffic). To date, that company hasn't won a single arbitration to support such a liability decision.
