Q

Visual signals used by tower when on the ground in case of radio failure

A

Series of green flashes = cleared to taxi
steady green light = cleared to take-off
series of red flashes = taxi clear of the landing area in use
steady red light = stop
flashing white light = return to starting point on the airport
flashing runway lights = Advises vehicles and pedestrians to vacate runways immediately

Q

Visual signals used by tower when in the air in case of radio failure

A

Series of green flashes = return for landing
steady green light = cleared to land
series of red flashes = Airport unsafe. do not land
steady red light = give way to other aircraft and continue circling
Red Pyrotechnical light, Military airport only = Wether by day or night and notwithstanding previous instructions, means do not land for the time being.

34
Q

what must you do in an uncontrolled airport

A

stay tuned to aerodrome frequency in order to hear traffic
and report your position, altitude and intentions many times so other pilots can be aware of your actions
