the spacing intervals must not exceed 15 m; and

(c) for use in visibility conditions less than 350 m on a curve with a radius of less than 400 m:

 (i) the spacing interval must not exceed 7.5 m; and

 (ii) the light spacing must extend for 60 m before the curve, and for 60 m after the curve; and

(d) for use in visibility conditions greater than 350 m on a curve with a radius of greater than 400 m — the spacing interval must not exceed 30 m; and

(e) for use in visibility conditions greater than 350 m on a curve with a radius of less than 400 m — the spacing interval must not exceed 15 m.

9.85 Location of taxiway centreline lights on entry and exit taxiways

       (1) For taxiways intended for visibility conditions less than 350 m — taxiway centreline lights must:

(a) continue towards the runway centreline; and

(b) when both centrelines converge — the taxiway centreline lights must:

 (i) remain located on the taxiway side of the runway centreline; and

 (ii) extend parallel to, and 1.2 m from, the runway centreline for a distance of not less than 60 m along the centreline in the direction of the aircraft taxi.

Note   See also Figure 9.85 (1).

       (2) Despite paragraph (1) (b), the taxiway centreline lights may extend parallel to, and 0.9 m from, the runway centreline if the centreline lights are not obscured by marking the associated taxiway centreline on the runway.

       (3) For taxiways intended for visibility conditions of 350 m or greater — if the taxiway centreline lights do not continue towards the runway centreline, the last taxiway centreline light must not be more than 1 m outside the line of runway edge lights.

       (4) Despite subsection (1), subsection (3) may be applied for a taxiway entry at a runway end for visibility conditions less than 350 m.

Note   Subsection 9.85 (4) applies to taxiway entry to the runway ends and not to any midpoint entries.

9.86 Location of taxiway centreline lights on exit taxiways other than rapid exit taxiways

        Taxiway centreline lights on an exit taxiway, other than a rapid exit taxiway, must:

(a) start at the tangent point on the runway; and

(b) have the first light offset 1.2 m from the runway centreline on the taxiway side; and

(c) be spaced at uniform longitudinal intervals of not more than 7.5 m.

9.87 Location of taxiway centreline lights on rapid exit taxiways

        Taxiway centreline lights on a rapid exit taxiway must:

(a) start at least 60 m before the tangent point; and

(b) on the part
