Landing Prohibited |
Special Precautions |
|||
| A red square panel with yellow diagonals denotes the aerodrome is unsafe and landing there is prohibited. | A red square panel with one yellow diagonal denotes that the manoeuvring area is poor and special care is needed when landing. |
|||
 |
 |
 |
||
| Use only hard surfaces for take-off and landing | Use hard surface at all times | Right-hand circuit | ||
| A white dumb-bell with black stripes at right angles t othe shaft denoyes taking off and landing shall be on hard surfaces but ground movement is not so restricted. | A white dumb-bell denotes that the movement of aeroplanes and gliders on the ground is confined to hard surfaces only. | A red and yellow striped arrow along two sides of the signal area and pointing clockwise denotes a right-hand circuit is in force. (A rectangular green flag on the mast has the same meaning as this signal.) | ||

| Gliding | ||||
| A double white cross denotes gliding is in progress. A similar but much larger signal is used to mark the area on the aerodrome to be used only by gliders. Two red balls on the mast has the same meaning. |
A yellow cross denotes the tow-rope dropping area. |
|||
| Direction of Take-off and Landing | ||||
 |
 |
 |
||
| A white "T" denotes the direction of take-off and landing towards the cross-piece of the "T" unless otherwise authorised by ATC. |
A white disc ahead of the "T" cross-piece indicates that take-off and landing directions may not necessarily coincide. A single black ball on the mast has the same meaning. |
|||
| Landing Area for Light Aircraft | ||||
 |
|
|||
| A white letter "L" denotes a part of the manoeuvring area which shall be used only for the take-off and landing of light aircraft. |
A red letter "L" across a white dumb-bell denotes that light aircraft can use runways or areas marked by the white "L". |
|||
| Helicopter Operations | ||||
 |
|
|||
| A two-metre high white letter "H" in the signals area denotes that helicopters can only take-off and land in a designated area. |
A six-metre high white letter "H" denotes that area. |

|
|
||
| Two-figure black numerals on a yellow background denote the runway in use. |
A chequered red / yellow flag on the mast denotes that aircraft can only move on the apron and within the manoevring area with the permission of ATC. |
A black "C" on a yellow background denotes the reporting point. |
||
| Unserviceable portion of Runway/taxiway | ||||
 |
||||
| Two or more white crosses at 45 degrees to the centre line and not more than 300 metres apart denote the section so marked as unfit for aircraft movement. | ||||
| Boundaries | ||||
 |
Markers/Flags with orange / white stripes are used to mark boundaries of unfit areas. They can also indicate aerodrome boundaries. |
|||
| Military / Disused Aerodromes | ||||
 |
|
|||
| A red letter "L" denotes that light aircraft may land on a special area shown by white corner markings. |
A white cross displayed at the end of the runway denotes that landing is dangerous |
|||
 |
|
|
||
| A white cross and a single white bar at the end of a runway on a disused aerodrome denotes fitness to land in an emergency only. |
Yellow and black triangular solid sections denote areas unserviceable due to bad ground, the presence of working parties, stationary vehicles or other obstructions. |
Two vertical yellow bars on a red square indicate landing areas are serviceable but normal facilities are not available. Land in an emergency only. |
||
| A red flag on the mast denotes a left-hand circuit. A green flag on the mast denotes a right-hand circuit. |
