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.
If your aircraft is on the ground, a steady red light from the control tower light gun means STOP. If you are airborne, a steady red light means to give way to other aircraft, and continue circling.
