What does a flashing green light signal mean on the ground signals?

• A. Cleared to taxi
• B. Stop
• C. Taxi clear of runway in use
• D. Return to starting point

Answer: (A)

Ground signal lights use color and flash pattern to convey specific actions for aircraft taxiing on the movement area. A flashing green signal is the authorization to taxi. It means you may start moving the aircraft along the taxiways to your assigned runway or parking position, under ATC supervision and with their guidance. You should proceed with caution and be ready to stop or follow further instructions if ATC changes your route. The other options don’t fit because red signals indicate stop, and the other meanings are not what a flashing green light communicates in this ground-signals context.
