show red in the direction of approach to the displaced threshold, with a light intensity of not less than one-quarter, and not more than one-half, that of the white runway edge lights; and

(b) in the opposite direction, show:

 (i) white; or

 (ii) for a precision approach runway — yellow as appropriate; or

 (iii) for runway edge lights, located within a runway starter extension, which otherwise do not constitute part of a declared stopway — blue.

Note   Examples of when a runway located before a displaced threshold is available for aircraft use include use for take-offs using a runway starter extension, and landings from the opposite direction.

       (2) For subsection (1), runway edge lights must be:

(a) bi-directional light fittings; or

(b) separate light fittings installed back to back.

       (3) If the portion of runway before a displaced threshold is closed to aircraft operations, all the runway lights on the portion must be extinguished.

9.64 Runway end lights

       (1) For a runway with runway edge lights, runway end lights must be provided.

Note   See section 6.07 for the required sight distance for runway end lights.

       (2) Runway end lights must be located:

(a) in a straight line at right angles to the runway centreline; and

(b) if the runway end is at the extremity of the runway — as near as possible to the extremity, and not more than 3 m outside, or 1 m inside, the extremity; and

(c) if the runway end is not at the extremity of the runway — at the runway end, within a tolerance of ± 1 m; and

(d) for each of the following areas:

 (i) a taxiway for exiting or entering a runway;

 (ii) a runway turn pad;

      in such a way that an aircraft using the area does not cross the row of red runway end lights unless a runway starter extension exists and a runway starter extension light pattern is used.

       (3) For a runway starter extension, the runway end lights aligned with the declared end of the landing distance available must be:

(a) in a straight line at right angles to the runway centreline; and

(b) located at the declared runway end, within a tolerance of ± 1 m; and

(c) located in such a way that:

 (i) an aircraft using the extension does not cross the row of red runway end lights, but passes between them when travelling along the runway centreline; and

 (ii) the minimum width of the passing gap between the runway end lights must be 50% of the distance between the runway edge light rows.

       (4) For a runway starter extension, the end of runway pavement beyond the declared end of the landing distance available
