       and turbine engines, in addition, shall not be operated within the appropriate distance specified below of any other aircraft, fuelling equipment or exposed public areas which lie to the rear of and within a 15 degree arc either side of the exhaust outlet axis of that engine:

Engine type  Power condition                                               Minimum distance metres

Turbo-prop   At or below normal slow taxiing power                         15 (50 ft)
             At power used to initiate movement of a stationary aircraft   23 (75 ft)
Turbo-jet    At or below normal slow taxiing thrust                        30 (100 ft)
             At thrust used to initiate movement of a stationary aircraft  46 (150 ft)

Note   Fuelling equipment does not include equipment and outlet points of an installation located below ground level when the equipment is stowed and covering hatches are in place.
       5.2The operator of an aircraft shall ensure that all persons who may be required to start the engine of the aircraft are familiar with the method of operation of any installed engine nacelle fire extinguishing equipment.

6 Ground operation of aircraft radar equipment
       6.1The requirement of this subsection shall apply to all radar equipment with a nominal peak power output rating in excess of 25 kW.
       6.2During all ground operation, including testing and maintenance of aircraft radar equipment, the operator and person in charge of such equipment shall ensure that:
       6.2.1The equipment is not energised in its normal mode (antenna rotating) unless the sector area scanned by the radar beam is clear of the following objects to a distance of 37 metres (120 ft) from the antenna:
(a) aircraft being refuelled or defuelled;
(b) fuel tankers, fuel tanks or fuel storage areas;
(c) persons or cargo;
(d) any other aircraft or aircraft hangar.
Note   For each radar installation the sector area should be defined in terms of readily distinguishable dimensions preferably related to some feature
