(c) if stopped for an aircraft arrival that does not take place — not earlier than 30 minutes after the time scheduled or notified for the arrival.

       (6) At a controlled aerodrome, works which have been stopped to allow the restoration of normal safety standards may, subject to any instructions from ATC, be resumed in accordance with subsection (5) unless it is not physically possible to comply strictly with subsection (5), in which case compliance must be as close as is reasonably practicable.

Note   An aerodrome operator may request ATC to vary the time limits specified in paragraph 15.03 (5) (b) for restoring normal safety standards or resuming aerodrome works.  Any such variation granted by ATC is subject to any instructions ATC may impose.

15.04 Management and control of aerodrome works

       (1) An aerodrome operator must appoint a works safety officer with the function of ensuring the safe conduct of aerodrome works.

       (2) The aerodrome operator must be satisfied that the person is able to perform the functions of a works safety officer set out in section 13.04.

Note   For time-limited works, a dedicated works safety officer is not required if one of the persons carrying out the time-limited works has been trained to perform the function of the works safety officer.

       (3) If aerodrome works are being carried out at an aerodrome while the aerodrome is open and available for any aircraft operations, a works safety officer must be present at all times in the vicinity of the works.

       (4) Procedures for entering works areas must be stated in the MOWP.

       (5) The operator must allow access to works areas only along routes shown in the MOWP or as directed by the works safety officer.

15.05 Runway pavement overlay, reconstruction, resealing or widening works

       (1) When a runway is to be returned to an operational status following works at the edge of a pavement overlay, reconstruction or widening works, the area where the new and the old runway surfaces meet must not be left with an abrupt vertical surface of more than 25 mm.

Note   This will normally require the provision of a temporary ramp between the new and the old surfaces.

       (2) The longitudinal slope of any temporary ramp used for subsection (1), measured with reference to the existing runway surface or previous overlay course, must be:

(a) 0.5 to 1.0% for overlays up to and including 50 mm in thickness; and

(b) not more than 0.5% for overlays more than 50 mm in thickness.

       (3) The entire width of the runway must be overlaid during a single works session. However, if this is not possible:

(a) at least the central two-thirds of the width of the runway
