Aircraft Marshalls - Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation

This may take some time if the controller’s attention is directed towards another part
of the airport. BE PATIENT! Even a failed radio is not an excuse for proceeding
without a proper clearance.
Light signals and their meaning:
Steady green OK to cross runway or taxiway, proceed
or go.
Steady red Stop.
Flashing red Clear runway or taxiway.
Flashing white Return to starting point.
Alternating red & green General warning signal: use extreme
caution. This can be followed by
another signal as circumstances permit.
XV. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APRON
MARKINGS AND SIGNS
Although standards and recommended practices for aircraft ground movement have been
developed, only limited guidance material is available for ground support equipment movement
and parking on the apron. It is anticipated that implementation of world-wide standards for airport
apron markings will be a significant contribution to a safe apron environment.
REQUIREMENTS
The areas requiring safety markings are:
Service Roads;
Aircraft parking stands/gates;
Aprons;
Pedestrian crossing/walkways;
Safety parking position for Passenger Loading Bridge;
“No Parking” areas;
Ground Support Equipment parking areas;
Push-Back line;
Push-Back Limit Marking.
