What should a pilot look for to confirm a landing clearance from the RSU during the electrical failure pattern?

To confirm a landing clearance from the Remote Sensing Unit (RSU) during an electrical failure pattern, the pilot should look for a green light. In aviation, a green light typically signifies that it is safe to proceed, indicating that the landing clearance has been granted. Green lights are often universally recognized as a “go” signal, which enhances safety by providing clear, unambiguous guidance to pilots.

In the context of an electrical failure pattern, identifying a green light helps ensure that the pilot can safely land the aircraft without confusion regarding the operational status of the RSU. This is critical during emergency scenarios where communication might be limited and visual signals become vital for maintaining safe operations. Understanding the significance of the different colored lights is essential for pilots to make informed decisions quickly, especially in high-pressure situations.
