A flashing white light in the context of CMA (Civil Aviation Authority) Light Gun Signals typically indicates that the aircraft should return to its starting point or clear the runway.

It is important for pilots to follow these signals promptly to ensure safety and maintain flow at the airport.

The flashing white light gun signal from the tower typically indicates that the aircraft is cleared to taxi. This signal is part of the visual communication system used in aviation to convey instructions to pilots, particularly in situations where radio communication may be compromised or not possible. Pilots should be attentive to these signals to ensure safe movement on the ground.
