airport operationsFAA-published sample question (PAR, Aug 2021)
A flashing white light signal from the control tower to a taxiing aircraft is an indication to
A
taxi at a faster speed.
B
taxi only on taxiways and not cross runways.
C
return to the starting point on the airport.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
In the light-signal table of 14 CFR 91.125 and AIM 4-3-13, a flashing white light directed to an aircraft on the ground means 'return to starting point on airport'; it has no meaning for an aircraft in flight. There is no light signal instructing a pilot to taxi faster or to avoid crossing runways.
