1 m on each side of the runway holding position marking.

       (9) Subsection (2) applies to an existing operator only on and from the earlier of the following:

(a) when the runway holding position is being re-marked (other than as simple maintenance merely to preserve its visibility) or replaced, or is a new facility that is being marked for the first time;

(b) 26 November 2026.

Note 1   For the definition of existing operator, see section 2.01.

Note 2   CASA recommends that, regardless of subsection (9), Pattern A or Pattern B markings, as shown in Figure 8.39 (2), should be implemented before 26 November 2026 where increased conspicuity of a runway holding position would assist with mitigating against runway incursions.

8.40 Mandatory instruction markings

       (1) Mandatory instruction markings may be used to:

(a) mitigate runway incursions; or

(b) supplement a mandatory instruction MAGS.

Note   CASA recommends that mandatory instruction markings be provided at all taxiway and road entries to the runway.

       (2) As illustrated in Figure 8.40 (2), for a code A, B, C or D taxiway, the mandatory instruction marking must be a single marking positioned as follows:

(a) at least 0.9 m but not more than 1 m from the runway hold position marking;

(b) across the alignment of, and taking the place of, the taxi guideline;

       Note   The mandatory instruction marking is a primary marking in this instance and takes the place of the taxi guideline.

(c) with the taxi guideline being omitted at least 0.9 m but not more than 1 m before the mandatory instruction marking.

       (3) As illustrated in Figure 8.40 (2), for a code E or F taxiway, the mandatory instruction marking must be 2 markings positioned as follows:

(a) at least 0.9 m but not more than 1 m from the runway hold position marking;

(b) on each side of the taxi guideline and offset by a distance of at least 0.9 m but not more than 1 m.

       (4) A mandatory instruction marking must consist of an inscription in white on a red background.

       (5) Character heights for a mandatory instruction marking must be:

(a) 2 m — if the taxiway code letter is A or B; or

(b) 4 m — if the taxiway code letter is C, D, E or F.

       (6) With the exception of a NO ENTRY marking, the inscription must provide information identical to that which would otherwise have appeared in a mandatory instruction MAGS for the taxiway.
