What does FLASHING RED mean?

• A. Stop
• B. Clear the Taxiway / Runway
• C. Proceed safely
• D. Wait for further instructions

Answer: (B)

Flashing red is an immediate instruction to clear the active surface. It means you must exit the runway or taxiway right away and move to a safe area, then await further instructions. If you’re on the runway, stop and vacate at the nearest safe point. If you’re on a taxiway approaching a runway, stop before entering the runway and wait for clearance. After you’re clear, you’ll be told when you may re-enter or proceed. This signal is used to rapidly deconflict traffic and maintain safety on the movement area.
