overlays more than 50 mm in thickness.

       (3) The entire width of the runway must be overlaid during a single works session. However, if this is not possible:

(a) at least the central two-thirds of the width of the runway must be overlaid in the single works session; and

(b) a temporary transverse ramp of between 0.8 and 1.0% must be provided between the edge of the new overlay surface and the existing runway surface or previous overlay course, if the difference in levels exceeds 25 mm.

       (4) If it is not possible to achieve the standards described in subsections (2) and (3), different parameters for longitudinal and transverse slopes may be used provided that:

(a) the slopes do not cause a hazard for aircraft; and

(b) details of the slopes, including the reasons why it is not possible for the standard longitudinal and transverse slopes to be provided, are set out in the MOWP.

       (5) Before a runway that is being overlaid or undergoing resealing works is returned to a temporary operational status, a runway centreline marking conforming to the specifications in this MOS must be provided.

       (6) Despite subsection 9.02 (1), wiring for temporary lighting is permitted above ground level within the manoeuvring area during periods of works provided that:

(a) the wiring is not a hazard to aircraft operations; and

(b) specific details of the proposed wiring are included in the MOWP.

15.06 Works on runway strips

       (1) Works on runway strips must be carried out in the shortest possible time to minimise the hazard to aircraft operations.

       (2) If works on runway strips are undertaken within 23 m of the edge of the runway then, as far as possible:

(a) the works may only be undertaken on one side of the runway at any time; and

(b) the works area must not at any time exceed:

 (i) 9 m2; or

 (ii) for excavations only — a width of 100 mm and a total length of 280 m; and

(c) materials and items, for example, gravel, markings and lights left within this part of the runway strip:

 (i) must not exceed 1 m in height above ground; and

 (ii) must be removed if the material is likely to be affected by propeller wash or jet blast; and

(d) plant and vehicles must vacate the area when the runway is in use.

       (3) If works are undertaken on a runway strip between 23 m from the edge of the runway or runway shoulder and the edge of the graded runway strip, the restrictions mentioned in subsection (2) apply as far as possible, except that:

(a) the works area may extend up to an area of 18 m2 at
