Question 1 · Instrument Rating
(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-3F, Figure 254.) Which of the signs in the figure is a mandatory instruction sign?
- A.Top red.
- B.Middle yellow.
- C.Bottom yellow.
Show answer and explanation
Correct: A. Top red.
AIM 2-3-8 describes mandatory instruction signs as white inscriptions on a red background; the top sign in Figure 254 (red, with a white circle and bar) is the no-entry sign, which is a mandatory instruction sign. The two yellow panels with black lines are boundary-type signs (the ones that mark the edge of a protected area you are leaving), not mandatory instruction signs.
