(b) provide the minimum distance from the wingtip of the aircraft to each of the following located in proximity to the starter extension:

 (i) any object;

 (ii) a runway holding position;

 (iii) a vehicle access road; and

(c) provide a minimum clearance of the outer main gear wheels of the aircraft from the edges of the starter extension that is not less than the clearance mentioned in the row in column 2 of Table 6.03 (1) that is for the OMGWS of the aircraft; and

(d) achieve the runway surface requirements of section 6.09; and

(e) achieve the runway strength requirements of section 6.10.

       (2) For paragraph (1) (b), the minimum distance must be at least 20% of the maximum wingspan of an aircraft with the aircraft code letter for which the runway starter extension is intended.

Note   For the applicable aircraft code letter, see Table 4.01 (4).

6.05 Parallel runways

       (1) For non-instrument runways that are parallel and for simultaneous use — the minimum separation distance between the runway centrelines must not be less than the following:

(a) if the higher code number of the two runways is 3 or 4 — 210 m;

(b) if the higher code number of the two runways is 2 — 150 m;

(c) if the code number of the two runways is 1 — 120 m.

       (2) For instrument runways that are parallel and for simultaneous use — the minimum separation distance between the runway centrelines must not be less than the following:

(a) for independent parallel approaches — 1 035 m;

(b) for dependent parallel approaches — 915 m;

(c) for segregated parallel operations — 760 m;

(d) for independent parallel departures — 760 m.

Note   CASA recommends that non-instrument runways built after the commencement of this MOS should conform to the standards set out in subsection (2) rather than subsection (1) because this would ensure they are able to support future instrument runway operations.

6.06 Runway longitudinal slope

       (1) The overall longitudinal slope of a runway must not exceed:

(a) for a code 3 or 4 runway — 1%; or

(b) for a code 1 or 2 runway — 2%.

       (2) Subject to subsections (3), (4) and (5), the longitudinal slope along any individual 45 m segment of a runway with multiple slopes must not exceed:

(a) for a code 4 runway — 1.25%; or

(b) for a code 3 runway — 1.5%; or

(c) for a code 1 or 2 runway — 2%.

       (3) For a code 4 runway, the longitudinal slope along the first and the last quarters of the runway must not exceed 0.8%.

       (4) For a precision approach CAT II or CAT III code 3 runway
