Airplanes have very bright red beacon lights that are on from the moment the plane starts either engine start or pushback (whichever is first) until the moment engines have spooled down enough that the plane is safe to approach. Anyone who ever steps foot on a tarmac knows this. Theae lights are bright and you're not going to miss them.
Jet engines need time to cool down before they are safe to power down and approach safely. For example, procedure on a 737 is 3 minutes at taxi thrust (N2 30% or less) before it is safe to switch to APU for power and shut down the engines.
