The VS17 Signal Panel, or Signal Panel Marker, is often laid out on the ground to identify troop positions to friendly aircraft, or to identify where help is needed. A conspicuity panel like this one is required equipment during small aircraft flights into Canada because it is a good form of daytime signaling when search aircraft are in use.
