declared distances are required for an aircraft to take off, a runway starter extension may be provided to make such additional runway distances available.

       (2) Any extension that is not of a runway bypass pad type must be marked with the following stripes of the same width as the runway side-stripe markings under section 8.21:

(a) runway side-stripe markings along each side of the extension;

(b) a runway end marking across the end of the extension.

       (3) The start of a runway starter extension before the threshold line must be marked by a transverse line with the same characteristics as the runway side-stripe marking.

Note   Starter extensions are to be lit in accordance with the requirements specified in subsection 9.64 (3). Markings will likely resemble a permanently displaced threshold, as specified in section 8.26.

CHAPTER 8

Division 4 Taxiway markings

8.35 Introduction

       (1) Taxiway markings must:

(a) be provided on all sealed, concrete or asphalt taxiways; and

(b) provide continuous guidance between the runway and the apron.

Note   An apron may also need taxi guidelines marked under subsection 8.47 (1).

       (2) Taxiway markings must:

(a) be coloured yellow; and

(b) have a minimum line width of 0.15 m and a maximum line width of 0.3 m; and

(c) be continuous, unless this Division provides otherwise.

8.36 Taxi guideline markings

       (1) Taxi guideline markings (taxi guidelines) must be provided on all sealed, concrete or asphalt taxiway surfaces.

       (2) Taxi guidelines must take the form of a continuous yellow line that is 0.15 m wide.

       (3) The taxi guideline must be located as follows:

(a) on straight sections of a taxiway — along the centreline of the taxiway;

(b) on curved sections of a taxiway:

 (i) parallel to the outer edge of the pavement; and

 (ii) at a distance of half of the taxiway width from the outer edge.

Note   The effect of any fillet widening at the inner edge of a taxiway curve is ignored.

       (4) Despite subsection (3), a taxi guideline may be displaced to one side of the taxiway, to maintain the clearances specified in section 6.48, if the taxiway edge clearances specified in section 6.38 are achieved.

       (5) Unless otherwise specified in this MOS, where a taxi guideline marking is interrupted by another runway or taxiway marking that is not another taxi guideline, a gap of 0.9 m must be left on each side of the other marking.

       (6) Subsection (5) does not apply to a taxi guideline associated with a runway turn pad marking if the taxi guideline is required to intersect with a runway threshold (piano key) marking, a touchdown zone marking or an aiming point marking, provided that the taxiway guideline marking does not cross,
