not cause a hazard to aircraft operations.

       (10) CASA may direct the aerodrome operator, in writing, that an installation, equipment, laser or reflective source within the aerodrome boundary must be modified, shielded, or extinguished to ensure aviation safety.

Note   Certain lights might cause confusion, distraction or glare to pilots in the air. Ground lights may cause confusion or distraction by reason of their colour, position, pattern or intensity of light emission above the horizontal plane. Under regulation 94 of the CAR, CASA may issue notices about dangerous lights and it is an offence to fail to comply with any directions in a notice.

9.144 Lights — requirements for zones

       (1) This section does not apply to the lights mentioned in paragraphs 9.143 (7) (a), (b) and (c).

       (2) Lights installed at an aerodrome must comply with the zone requirements as shown in Figure 9.144 (2).

   Figure 9.144 (2)   Zone requirements for lighting (shows matters)

   Note   In many cases the polar diagrams published by manufacturers do not show sufficient detail in the sector near the horizontal and further information may need to be requested.

   For installations where the light fitting does not meet the zone requirements, a screen may be used to limit light emission to zero above the horizontal.

CHAPTER 10 AERODROME MANUAL

10.01 Requirement for an aerodrome manual

       (1) The operator of a certified aerodrome must have a manual (aerodrome manual or manual) that complies with the requirements set out in this MOS.
Note   See Subpart 139.C.1 of CASR.

       (2) The aerodrome operator must operate the aerodrome in accordance with the procedures set out in the aerodrome manual unless a temporary non-compliance or deviation is necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft, aircraft operations or individuals using the aerodrome.

       (3) If a temporary non-compliance or deviation is required to remain permanently in place, the aerodrome manual must be amended as soon as reasonably practicable to reflect the permanent change.

       (4) The aerodrome operator must nominate one or more persons or positions to be functionally responsible for reviewing, maintaining, amending and controlling the aerodrome manual, and ensuring compliance with this Chapter.

10.02 Form, contents and updating of the aerodrome manual

       (1) The aerodrome manual must be:
(a) in a format that can be readily updated; and
(b) kept up-to-date.

       (2) The aerodrome manual must be kept at the premises of the aerodrome operator and made available to CASA for inspection upon written or oral request.

       (3) The aerodrome manual must contain at least all of the information required by this MOS to be in an aerodrome manual that is relevant to the aerodrome operator's operations.

       (4) If information required by this MOS to be in an aerodrome manual is not
