Which sign identifies a paved area where aircraft are prohibited from entering?

• A. No Entry sign
• B. Runway hold position sign
• C. Outbound destination sign
• D. Approach slope sign

Answer: (A)

Recognizing restricted-area signage on the airfield is essential for safe taxiing. A No Entry sign marks a paved area that aircraft must not enter. It serves as a clear boundary indicating access is prohibited, so you must stop before that area and obtain clearance if needed. This helps prevent entering zones where active movements or hazards exist, such as closed taxiways or restricted aprons.

The runway hold position sign indicates you must hold short of a runway, not that an entire paved section is off-limits. An outbound destination sign provides direction to a taxi route or facility, not restriction. An approach slope sign communicates information about the approach path, not access control.

So, the No Entry sign is the one that identifies a paved area where aircraft are prohibited from entering.
