the clearway must be of low mass and frangibly mounted.

6.32 Stopways

        A stopway on which an aeroplane may be stopped in the event of an abandoned take-off may be provided at the end of a runway.

Note   A stopway is required to terminate 60 m before the end of the runway strip. See section 6.16.

6.33 Dimensions of stopways

        A stopway must be as wide as the width of its associated runway.

6.34 Surface of stopways

        A stopway with a sealed surface must have frictional characteristics at least equivalent to those of the associated runway.

6.35 Stopway slopes and slope changes

        Slope and slope changes on a stopway must be the same as those for the associated runway, except that:

(a) the limitation of a 0.8% slope for the first and last quarter of the length of a runway do not apply to the stopway; and

(b) at the junction of the stopway and runway, and along the stopway, the maximum rate of slope change may be increased to 0.3% per 30 m (a minimum radius of curvature of 10 000 m).

6.36 Bearing strength of stopways

        The bearing strength of a stopway must be such as to support at least 1 single pass of an aeroplane for which the runway aeroplane reference code nomination is appropriate, without the aeroplane sustaining any structural damage.

Division 2 Taxiways

     Figure Division 2   Taxiways (illustrates matters)

Note   Figure Division 2 is a colour-coded diagram of runways and the possible layout of taxiways, taxilanes and aircraft stands. It is for illustrative purposes only.

6.37 Taxiway width

       (1) The width of a straight section of a taxiway must not be less than the width determined using Table 6.37 (1).

       (2) In Table 6.37 (1), for a taxiway with the OMGWS mentioned in a row of column 1, the minimum taxiway width of a straight section is the width mentioned in the same row in column 2.

     Table 6.37 (1)   Minimum width for straight section of taxiway
OMGWS                              Minimum taxiway width (straight sections)
Up to but not including 4.5 m      7.5 m
4.5 m up to but not including 6 m  10.5 m
6 m up to but not including 9 m    15 m
9 m up to but not including 15 m   23 m

6.38 Taxiway edge clearance

       (1) The width of any section of a taxiway must be such that, with the nose wheel of an aeroplane remaining on the taxiway, the clearance between the outer main gear wheels and the edge of the taxiway, at any point, must not be less than the distance determined using Table 6.38 (1).

       (2) In Table 6.38 (1), for a taxiway with an OMGWS
