Answer 1

Different colored lights signal specific instructions to aircraft on the ground: a steady green light indicates 'cleared to take off,' series of red flashes means 'stop,' and series of green flashes signifies 'return to starting point on airport,' among others.

Step-by-step explanation:

To match the colored lights to their corresponding definitions for aircraft on the ground during RONLY and NORDO aircraft departure procedures:

1. SERIES OF GREEN FLASHES - d) return to starting point on airport
2. STEADY GREEN LIGHT - a) cleared to take off

4. STEADY RED LIGHT - b) clear to taxi
