using works equipment or vehicles.

       (5) When used on a movement area, works limit markers must:

(a) be placed inside the barriers around the works and behind unserviceability markings; and

(b) not be used to convey information to pilots about changes to the movement area.

8.09 Gable markers

        Gable markers for a runway strip must be:

(a) 3 m long; and

(b) 0.9 m wide; and

(c) 0.5 m high; and

(d) triangular (gable) in shape continued along the full length of the marker; and

(e) white in colour.

Note   See the illustration in Figure 8.09.

8.10 Flush runway strip markers

        A flush runway strip marker must be:

(a) 3 m long; and

(b) 0.9 m wide; and

(c) placed lengthways along, and flush with, the boundary of the runway strip.

8.11 The use of markers on a runway strip

       (1) Runway strip markers must be placed along the edges of the graded portion of a runway strip.

       (2) Runway strip markers must be white coloured:

(a) gable markers; or

(b) cones; or

(c) flush runway strip markers.

       (3) If flush runway strip markers are used, they must:

(a) clearly define the boundary of the runway strip for ground vehicles with access to the runway strip; and

(b) be free of contamination from grass, weeds, dirt, rubbish or similar matter.

Note   For consistency and to minimise the risk of confusion, CASA recommends that gable markers, cones and flush runway strip markers not be mixed.

       (4) The distance between gable runway strip markers must not exceed 180 m as shown in Figure 8.11 (4).

       (5) The distance between cone runway  strip markers must not exceed 90 m as shown in Figure 8.11 (5).

       (6) For subsection (4), if the width of the graded strip is mentioned in a row in column 1 of Table 8.11 (6), the width of the area labelled "A" in Figures 8.11 (4) and 8.11 (5) must be at least that mentioned in the same row in column 2.

Width of graded strip  Dimension "A"
30 m                   10 m minimum
45 m                   20 m minimum
60 m                   20 m minimum
90 m                   30 m minimum
150 m                  60 m minimum

8.12 The use of markers on an unsealed runway

       (1) On an unsealed runway, if:

(a) there is a lack of contrast between the runway and the runway strip; and

(b) the whole of the runway strip is not maintained to normal runway grading standards;

        then:
