HI there. My student & I just had a simulated NORDO procedure and the tower gave us a flashing white light gun signal, at which we made a go around because it was not applicable in flight (or so I thought . . . ?)
Upon landing afterwards, I was summoned to the control tower and found myself getting lectured about my knowledge of light gun signals. According to the controller, I should have landed & proceeded back to the apron/ramp upon receiving the flashing white signal. Somewhere along the way, he mentioned its as per ICAO operation procedures.
My question : As pilots are we cleared to land & taxi to the ramp upon seeing a flashing white? I thought a steady green to be followed by flashing white is rather more reasonable.
Worst of all, my student is asking me the correct procedure . . . which I am hoping any of you guys could shed some light on this.
Ideas? Comments? Bring it on~
PS: Oh by the way, I'm based in the Phillippines. If that makes a diff~
