Traffic pattern indicator
In aviation, a traffic pattern indicator is an L-shaped device which show the airfield traffic pattern to the in-flight aircraft over an aerodrome.[2] The short arm of the "L" represents the base leg, and the long arm the final approach.[3] If no segmented circle is installed, traffic pattern indicators may be installed on or near runway ends.[4]
