Which of the following is an example of an information sign?

• A. Runway distance remaining signs
• B. Mandatory signs
• C. Prohibited entry signs
• D. Holding position signs

Answer: (A)

Information signs provide guidance about location and conditions without forcing a specific action. Runway distance remaining signs fit this because they simply tell you how much runway remains, helping you gauge whether you have enough distance to take off or land safely. They don’t require you to do something, they just inform.

In contrast, signs that require action, like mandatory signs, tell you you must stop or proceed only under certain conditions. Prohibited entry signs clearly ban access, and holding position signs indicate where you must stop to avoid conflicts. Those convey rules or restrictions rather than information.
