While on final approach for landing, an alternating green and red light followed by a flashing red light is received from the control towered, Under these circumstances, the pilot should
discontinue the approach, fly the same traffic pattern and approach again, and land
exercise extreme caution and abandon the approach, realizing the airport is unsafe for landing
abandon the approach, circle the airport to the right, and expect a flashing white light when the airport is safe for landing.
If the aircraft's radio fails, what is the recommended procedure when landing at a controlled airport
observe the traffic flow, enter the pattern, and look for a light signal from the tower
enter a crosswind leg and rock the wings
flash the landing lights and cycle the landing gear while circling the airport
A steady green light signal directed from the control tower to an aircraft in flight is a signal that the pilot
is cleared to land
should give way to other aircraft and continue circling
should return for landing
A flashing white light signal from the control tower to a taxing aircraft is an indication to
taxi at a faster speed
taxi only on taxiways and not cross any runways
return to the starting point on the airport
If the control tower uses a light signals to direct a pilot to give way to other aircraft and continue circling, the light will be
flashing red
steady red
alternating red and green
Which light signal from the control tower clears a pilot to taxi
flashing green
steady green
flashing white
An alternating red and green light signal directed from the control tower to an aircraft in flight is a signal to
hold position
exercise extreme caution
not land; the airport is unsafe

3 statute miles
1 statute mile
What should you expect when you are told that LAHSO operations are in effect at your destination airport

That ATC will give you a clearance to land and hold short of a specified point on the runway
delays due to low IFR conditions and high traffic volume
If given a landing clearance on runway 16 and told to hold short runway 6, how can a pilot determine the available landing distance
the full runway length is available
use rule of thumb to determine the distance
