b) Steady Green - cleared to take off.
c) Red flashes - taxi clear of landing area in use.
d) Steady red - stop.
e) Flashing White - return to starting point on airport.
f) Blinking runway lights - vehicles and pedestrians vacate the runway immediately.
g) rotating beacon by day - weather in control zone below VFR.
Aircraft in Air:
a) Green flashes - return for landing.
b) Steady green - cleared to land.

Aircraft Documents
During flight pilots must have on board pilot licences, radio licences, Cerficate of Registration (CofR), Certificate of Airworthiness or Flight Permit (CofA), Journey Log, and a Weight and Balance report. For flight planning the aircraft's operating manual should be available.
Flight information and other pertinent information is recorde in a Journey Log. Entries should not be erased from this document and made with a permanent marker. If the journey log is filled it must be kept for two years after date of last entry and the last two entries from the old log should be carried over into the new one. A Technical log is maintained to record technical data for the aircraft including flight times, maintenance events, and inspections. This log must be kept unless the aircraft destroyed or permanently withdrawn from service. To preserve maintenance information in the event of an accident, the technical log must never be kept on board the aircraft. Peace officers may at any time request to exam any of the above documentation.
