Which signal indicates Return to Starting Point on Airport?

• A. Flashing White
• B. Alternating Red and Green
• C. Nellis Blind Spots
• D. Runway Incursion

Answer: (A)

Understanding on-airport ground signals helps you know how to move safely when radio or verbal directions aren’t being given. A flashing white signal is the one that tells you to return to the starting point on the airport. It’s a clear reset cue: come back to where you entered the movement area and stop there to avoid drifting onto active taxiways or runways. This pattern is specifically used to indicate that instruction. The other options don’t fit this directive. Alternating red and green isn’t a standard return-to-start signal, and “Nellis blind spots” or “runway incursion” describe conditions or events, not instructions to your vehicle or aircraft.
