Which sign is used to identify the taxiway on which the aircraft is located?

• A. Taxiway Location
• B. Runway Location
• C. Runway Distance Remaining
• D. ILS Critical Area Boundary

Answer: (A)

Location signs identify your current position on the airfield, telling you which taxiway you are on. The Taxiway Location sign is the one used for this purpose, showing the taxiway designator on a dark background with yellow characters. This helps you confirm your exact taxiway at intersections or when following ATC taxi instructions. Other signs have different roles: Runway Location signs show the runway you’re on, Runway Distance Remaining signs indicate how much runway remains, and ILS Critical Area Boundary signs mark the boundary of the ILS protection area. So, the taxiway location sign is the best choice to identify the taxiway you’re located on.
