that:

(a) have lines 0.9 m wide, angled 45 degrees to the runway centreline; and

(b) are spaced 30 m apart, as measured from the apex of one chevron to the apex of the next chevron; and

(c) are 15 m tall from apex to base; and

(d) point towards the non-displaced threshold, or the runway end in the reciprocal direction, as the case may be; and

(e) except where affected by the proximity of the non-displaced threshold or the runway end in the reciprocal direction — have line ends sufficiently long to end not more than 7.5 m from the respective runway edges; and

(f) terminate at the runway end marking.

Note   This area will not normally be used for landing or take-off. If declared as a stopway, only an aircraft in an abandoned take-off from the other direction may use the area.

8.17 Runway threshold markings

       (1) Runway threshold markings must be provided:

(a) on a sealed, concrete or asphalt runway; and

(b) on an unsealed runway with sealed, concrete or asphalt thresholds.

       (2) As shown in Figure 8.17 (2), a permanent threshold, or a permanently displaced threshold, must be indicated by:

(a) a white transverse line, commencing from the location of the threshold as determined under section 6.01, which is 1.2 m wide and extends the full width of the runway at the location of the threshold; and

(b) beyond the line, white "piano key" markings, consisting of adjacent, uniformly spaced, 30 m long stripes whose number and width is determined in accordance with Table 8.17 (2).

       (3) If the normal threshold marking is not marked because the threshold surface is unsealed, runway markers must be used to delineate the ends of an unsealed runway.

Note   Information on the location of thresholds is provided in section 6.01 of this MOS.

       (4) For paragraph (2) (b), for a runway whose width is mentioned in a row of column 1 of Table 8.17 (2), the number of stripes, and the width of the spaces between each stripe, is the number and the width mentioned in the same row of columns 2 and 3, respectively.

     Table 8.17 (2)   Number of stripes and width of stripe spaces

Runway width  Number of stripes  Width of stripe space
                                 (denoted as "a" in Figure 8.17 (2))
18 m          4                  1.5 m
23 m          6                  1.5 m
30 m          8                  1.5 m
45 m          12                 1.7 m
60 m          16                 1.7 m

8.18 Runway designation markings

       (1) Runway designation markings must be provided:

(a) at the thresholds of all sealed, concrete or asphalt runways; and

(b) at the thresholds
