a controller to detect the movement of a departing aircraft:
(a) as soon as possible after the aircraft has commenced its take-off run; but
(b) no later than 5 seconds after the take-off run commences.

3.05 Visual surveillance systems providing aerodrome control service
        An ATS provider may use a visual surveillance system, in the provision of aerodrome control service, to perform a function listed in Section 7.1 of ICAO Doc. 4444, only if the visual surveillance system meets the standards mentioned in Section 7.12 of ICAO Doc. 4444.
Note 1   Section 7.1 of ICAO Doc. 4444 lists functions of aerodrome control towers. Under subregulation 172.075 (1) of CASR, an ATS provider must ensure that any traffic service that it provides is provided in accordance with the procedures and rules set out in ICAO Doc. 4444, as varied by Gen 1.7 of Part 1 of the AIP.
Note 2   The term aerodrome control service has the same meaning as in Annex 11 (see the definition of the term in the CASR Dictionary).
Note 3   As a system that processes or displays air traffic control data, a visual surveillance system is a telecommunication service as defined in regulation 171.012 of CASR. A visual surveillance system, therefore, is also regulated under Part 171 of CASR as a telecommunication service, including how CASA approves a person to be a provider of the service, and obligations of providers.

3.06 Displays for control towers
       (1) A control tower must have the following displays:
(a) flight data displays (for example, flight progress boards);
(b) meteorological displays which provide at least the following information:
           (i) surface wind;
           (ii) barometric pressure;
           (iii) temperature;
           (iv) if the aerodrome has runway visual range equipment—the current runway visual range values;
(c) operational data displays for the following:
           (i) other significant weather information;
           (ii) NOTAMs;
           (iii) handover/takeover;
           (iv) essential aerodrome information;
           (v) relevant maps and charts;
(d) a time display at each operational position.
       (2) For the purposes of subparagraph (1) (b) (i), if more than one surface wind sensor is used at the aerodrome, the displays must identify the sensor being used for the observation.

3.07 Control towers—requirements about aerodrome equipment and navigation aids

 Switching, monitors and controls for aerodrome equipment
       (1) A control tower for a controlled aerodrome must have appropriate switching, monitors and controls for lighting equipment installed at the aerodrome, including for the following equipment:
(a) runway lighting;
(b) approach lighting;
(c) taxiway lighting;
(d) visual approach slope indicator systems;
(e) stop bars;
(f) obstacle lighting;
(g) illuminated wind direction indicator;
(h) aerodrome beacon.

 Navigation aids
       (2) The control tower must have a means to readily recognise the failure of any navigation aid being used for the control of
