then runway edge lights, located beyond 3 m from the edge of the runway, may remain in place until they are upgraded or replaced, provided that details are recorded in the aerodrome manual and published in the AIP-ERSA.

       (12) For a runway that is less than 30 m wide, the runway edge lights must be placed in accordance with subsection (10) as if the runway were 30 m wide.

       (13) If a runway is provided with circling guidance lights and unidirectional high-intensity runway light units, then:

(a) the row of unidirectional high-intensity light units must be placed on the inner side, closest to the runway centreline; and

(b) the circling guidance lights must be placed on the outer side; and

(c) the 2 rows of light units must be:

 (i) parallel; and

 (ii) separated by a distance of at least 0.5 m but not more than 3 m.

9.52 Characteristics of runway edge lights — non-instrument or non-precision approach runway

        For a non-instrument, or a non-precision, approach runway, the runway edge lights must be lights that:

(a) are fixed; and

(b) are omnidirectional; and

(c) show variable white; and

(d) if elevated — have light distribution that is uniform for the 360° horizontal projection of the light; and

(e) for a lighting system set at low intensity — have:

 (i) a minimum light intensity in accordance with that shown in Figure 9.75 (1); and

 (ii) a main beam which projects light between 1º and 7º above the horizontal at:

             (A) a minimum average intensity of not less than 100 cd; and

             (B) a maximum average intensity of not more than 200 cd; and

(f) for a lighting system set at medium intensity — have:

 (i) a minimum light intensity in accordance with that shown in Figure 9.75 (2); and

 (ii) a main beam which projects light between 1º and 7º above the horizontal at:

             (A) a minimum average intensity of not less than 200 cd; and

             (B) a maximum average intensity of not more than 600 cd.

9.53 Characteristics of runway edge lights — precision approach runway

       (1) For a precision approach runway, the runway edge lights must be lights that:

(a) are fixed; and

(b) are unidirectional, with the main beam directed towards the threshold; and

(c) subject to paragraph (d), show variable white with a minimum light intensity in accordance with that shown in the following Figures in section 9.75:

 (i) for 30 m to 45 m wide runways — Figure 9.75 (3);

 (ii) for 60 m wide runways — Figure 9.75 (4); and

(d) if located within 600 m from the runway end — show yellow with a minimum light intensity that is 0.4 times the intensity
