A rotating beacon operating during daylight hours at an airport most often suggests what?
- A.The airport is closed to all traffic
- B.A drone operation is in progress
- C.Weather at the field is below basic VFR minimums or the beacon is on for another operational reason
Correct answer
C. Weather at the field is below basic VFR minimums or the beacon is on for another operational reason
Why
Airport beacons run from sunset to sunrise, so a beacon on in daylight commonly signals below-VFR conditions at the field. It is one more cue for a remote pilot to reassess whether to fly.
