Location Signs are black with yellow legend. What does this indicate?

• A. Red sign with white legend indicating an instruction
• B. White sign with black legend indicating directions
• C. Blue sign with white legend indicating guidance
• D. Black sign with yellow legend indicating your location

Answer: (D)

Location signs use a black background with a yellow legend to tell you exactly where you are on the airfield. They identify your current taxiway or runway position, so you can confirm your location and navigate correctly. This is different from instruction signs (red with white lettering) that tell you what action to take, and from direction signs (yellow with black lettering) that point you toward the next taxiway or runway. When you see one, read the letters and cross-check with your airport diagram and other signs to determine your route.
