works affecting the manoeuvring area or the obstacle limitation surfaces, including time-limited works that require more than 10 minutes to restore normal safety standards;

(c) outage or unserviceability of aerodrome lighting or obstacle lighting, unless the outage or unserviceability is fixed immediately;

(d) temporary obstacles to aircraft operations, unless the temporary obstacle is removed immediately;

(e) any significant increase in, or concentration of, wildlife hazards on or near the aerodrome which constitute a danger to aircraft, unless the wildlife causing the hazard is dispersed immediately;

(f) any change within the take-off climb area mentioned in subsection 5.12 (8) that is due to a new or changed obstacle which results in a change to the gradient of more than 0.05% from the published gradient data for the runway — unless that new or changed obstacle is dealt with immediately;

(g) the emergence of new obstacles, unless the new obstacle is removed immediately;

(h) that a radio navigation aid or landing aid owned by the aerodrome operator is unserviceable or has returned to service;

(i) any other event which affects the safety of aircraft using the aerodrome, unless the event is ceased immediately.

       (2) A reportable occurrence must be reported:

(a) as soon as possible after it is observed; and

(b) with as much detail as is available; and

(c) if necessary to enable further NOTAMs to be issued — supplemented with subsequent additional detail as it becomes available.

       (3) If applicable, ATC must be advised of any unserviceability identified by a serviceability inspection which requires the issue of a NOTAM.

       (4) An aerodrome operator must provide as much notice as possible through a NOTAM of any aerodrome works that affect airline schedules.

     12.04A Global reporting format and aerodrome serviceability inspection requirements

       (1) Without affecting any other requirements under Chapter 12, the aerodrome operator of a certified aerodrome with an operational sealed runway (an operational runway) must comply with each requirement mentioned in this section for the runway.

       (2) An aerodrome serviceability inspection carried out for Chapter 12 must specifically check for visible dampness, standing water, snow, slush, ice or frost on an operational runway.

Note   In this section, snow, slush, ice and frost of various kinds are described as "other contaminants", to distinguish them from contamination by dampness or water.

 Using runway surface description to determine the RWYCC

       (3) The aerodrome operator must use the applicable runway surface description mentioned in Table 12.04A (3) to determine the applicable RWYCC for an operational runway.
