During limited visibility, which lighting should you activate after moving out of the way for an approaching aircraft?

• A. Headlights
• B. Parking lights
• C. No lights
• D. Flashers

Answer: (D)

In limited visibility, you want your vehicle to be as conspicuous as possible to the approaching aircraft. Activating the hazard flashers creates a bright, attention-getting signal from multiple angles, clearly indicating you’re yielding or stopped and should not be in the path. This helps pilots gauge your position and maintain safe separation. Headlights can help you see, but they don’t deliver the same clear warning to the aircraft; parking lights are too dim for an effective signal, and driving with no lights would make you hard to see. The bright, flashing signal from hazard lights is the most reliable way to communicate your status in this situation.
