with at least 4 wing-mounted engines (that is, at least 2 engines on each wing) must:

(a) have a minimum width of 45 m; and

(b) have load-bearing shoulders in accordance with section 6.11.

       (3) For a precision approach runway — the runway width must not be less than 30 m.

6.03 Runway turn pad and runway bypass pad

       (1) If a runway turn pad or runway bypass pad is provided at any point on a runway, then, for an aircraft with an OMGWS mentioned in a row of column 1 of Table 6.03 (1):

(a) the minimum clearance of the outer main gear wheels of the aircraft from the edge of the relevant pad when carrying out a turn must not be less than the clearance mentioned in the same row in column 2; and

(b) the width of the relevant pad must be designed accordingly.

OMGWS                                                                                   Minimum clearance
Up to but not including 4.5 m                                                           1.5 m
4.5 m up to but not including 6 m                                                       2.25 m
6 m up to but not including 9 m                                                         3 m on straight portions
3 m on curved portions — for aeroplanes with a wheelbase less than 18 m
4 m on curved portions — for aeroplanes with a wheelbase equal to or greater than 18 m
9 m up to but not including 15 m                                                        4 m

Note   CASA recommends that the radius of the curve leading into and out of the runway turn pad or runway bypass pad should be compatible with the manoeuvring capability and normal taxiing speeds of the aeroplanes for which the relevant pad is intended. The intersection angle into the relevant pad should not be greater than 30 degrees. The relevant pad design should then guide the aeroplane in such a way as to allow a straight portion of taxiing before the point where a 180 degree turn is to be made. The straight portion of the relevant pad design, into and out of the relevant pad, should be parallel to the runway.

       (2) Subject to subsection (3), a runway turn pad or a runway bypass pad must be located on the right-hand side of a runway as viewed when looking in the direction of take-off from that runway end (the normal side).

        Note 1   This configuration would be viewed as being on the left-hand side by the pilot entering the runway turn pad or runway bypass pad, prior to the aircraft performing a reciprocal turn within the node, ready for take-off.

        Note 2   See Figure 8.33 (1).
