lead‑out line or a push-back marking, the lead-in line is the primary marking.

       (4) A lead-in line to a secondary aircraft parking position must be:

(a) a continuous line, 0.15 m wide and coloured yellow; or

(b) the following:

 (i) a series of solid yellow circles, 0.15 m in diameter and spaced at 1 m intervals;

 (ii) for an abrupt turn in the lead-in line — a continuous, yellow line that is 0.15 m wide for a distance of 2 m before and after the turn.

8.57 Aircraft parking position designation markings — apron taxiway and taxilane

       (1) An aircraft parking position designation marking must use a number and may use a letter number combination (other than "H") to indicate the parking position to which a taxi guideline leads.

       (2) Aircraft parking position designation markings must be provided where an apron has more than 1 marked aircraft parking position.

       (3) As shown in Figure 8.57 (3), a taxi guideline leading to more than 1 aircraft parking position must be located at the beginning of each diverging taxi guideline or lead-in line location and continue until the parking positions are reached.

       (4) Primary aircraft parking positions must be designated sequentially with no omissions as far as practicable.

       (5) As shown in Figure 8.57 (3), secondary aircraft parking positions must be identified with:

(a) the same number as the associated primary aircraft parking position; and

(b) an alphabetical suffix.

       (6) For subsection (5), suffixes must start with the letter "A" (for the first secondary aircraft parking position associated with a primary aircraft parking position) and be lettered sequentially thereafter with no omissions.

       (7) For subsection (5), each designation marking must be:

(a) located at the beginning of each diverging taxi guideline or lead-in line; and

(b) aligned so that it can be seen by the pilot of an approaching aircraft.

       (8) As shown in Figure 8.57 (3), the numbers and letters in aircraft parking designation markings must be as follows:

(a) 2 m high and coloured yellow;

(b) aligned with the taxi guideline or lead-in line to be easily read by a pilot approaching on the line, but in a line break space;

(c) the line break space must extend for 0.3 m on either side of the designation marking.

8.58 Aircraft parking position designations — parking position

       (1) The aircraft parking position designation must be located:

(a) on the ground adjacent to the parking position; and

(b) such that it is clearly visible to the pilot of an approaching aircraft.

       (2) As shown in Figure 8.58 (2)-1, for fixed-wing aircraft, the aircraft parking position designation must be as follows:
