If a Signal Delta is issued for aircraft at or below 7,000 feet, what should they do?

A Signal Delta means you should stay with the approach as cleared and keep moving toward landing. When you’re at or below 7,000 feet, this instruction is telling you there’s no need to abort, circle, or hold—you're expected to continue the published approach path. Follow the approach procedures you’ve been given, descend as published, and be ready for the final approach clearance or a landing clearance from ATC. Aborting, holding, or circling would require a different instruction, whereas continuing the approach aligns with the signal you’ve been issued.
