airport operationsFAA-published sample question (FIA, Aug 2021)
A military airfield can be identified by
A
a white and red rotating beacon.
B
white flashing sequence lights (strobes).
C
a green and dual-peaked white rotating beacon.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
AIM 2-1-9 says military airport beacons alternate green and white like civil land airports but are distinguished by dual-peaked (two quick) white flashes between the green flashes. White-and-red is not an airport beacon code, and strobes are approach or runway end lights.
