4               Not less than 1 800 m

Note   The minimum aeroplane reference field length determines the code number. However, provided it meets at least the minimum length required for a particular code number, the actual runway length does not otherwise dictate the code number selected by an operator. The practical minimum length for the runway, and the nominated ARC, are each selected by the aerodrome operator.

       (4) The aerodrome operator must select from Table 4.01 (4) the code letter corresponding to the greatest wingspan of the aeroplanes which the aerodrome facility is nominated by the operator to serve.

Note   The choice of the greatest wingspan lies with the aerodrome operator. A failure to choose that which is the most demanding of applicable options may result in operational limitations for a particular aircraft type.

Code letter     Wingspan
A               Up to but not including 15 m
B               15 m up to but not including 24 m
C               24 m up to but not including 36 m
D               36 m up to but not including 52 m
E               52 m up to but not including 65 m
F               65 m up to but not including 80 m

       (5) The aerodrome operator must select from Table 4.01 (5) the greatest OMGWS of the aeroplanes that the aerodrome or facility is nominated by the operator to serve.

Code element 3
OMGWS up to but not including 4.5 m
OMGWS 4.5 m up to but not including 6 m
OMGWS 6 m up to but not including 9 m
OMGWS 9 m up to but not including 15 m

Note   The choice of OMGWS lies with the aerodrome operator. A failure to choose that which is the most demanding of applicable options may result in operational limitations for a particular aircraft type.
