Aerospace Dimensions Module 2 Practice Exam

The signs used to steer you toward specific places on the airfield are destination signs. They are designed to guide you to particular locations—like a military area, an international terminal, or a fixed-base operator (FBO). These signs usually have a yellow background with black lettering and an arrow indicating the direction you should follow, making them clearly identifiable for finding important facilities around the airport. Other signs serve different purposes. A wind sock shows wind direction and speed, not routes. Mandatory signs (red with white text) tell you actions you must take or hold positions. Location signs indicate your current taxiway or runway, not the destination. So the best match for directing you to special locations on the field is the destination sign.
