What is the standard action when on the ground with flashing white light signals?

• A. Return to starting point on the airport
• B. Proceed to the gate
• C. Continue taxiing
• D. Stop and hold short

Answer: (A)

Flashing white light signals on the ground tell you to return to the starting point on the airport. This cue is used to backtrack or taxi back to where you began, rather than continuing to another location. So when you see that signal, steer back along your current path toward your original position. It’s not a command to proceed to the gate or to continue taxiing beyond your initial point, and it isn’t a hold-short instruction. In short, follow the signal by heading back to where you started.
