       (6) The location and orientation of runway designation markings on a runway must be as shown in Figure 8.18 (6).

       (7) The distance from the threshold marking to the corresponding runway designation marking must be 12 m.

       (8) The shape and dimensions of the numbers and letters to be used as runway designation markings must be as shown in Figure 8.18 (8).

       (9) Subject to subsection (10), each number or letter used in the runway designation marking must be 9 m in height.

       (10) The numbers "6" and "9" must be 9.5 m in height, but this does not affect any other spacing shown in Figure 8.18 (8).

       (11) For a runway designation marking used on a parallel runway, the distance between the runway designation number and the corresponding letter (L, C or R) must be 6 m.

8.19 Runway centreline markings

       (1) Subject to subsection (2), runway centreline markings must be provided on all sealed, concrete or asphalt runways to provide directional guidance during landing or take-off.

       (2) For an 18 m wide sealed, concrete or asphalt runway, runway centreline markings may be omitted if runway side-stripe markings are provided.

Note   See also subsection 8.21 (3).

       (3) Runway centreline markings must consist of a line of uniformly-spaced white stripes, in which the stripes are each of equal length, and the gaps between the stripes are each of equal length, using lengths which, when the line is in place, are in accordance with subsection (4).

Note   See Figure 8.19 (3).

       (4) The combined length of a stripe (S) and a gap (G) must not be less than 50 m and not more than 75 m.

       (5) The length of each stripe must be at least equal to whichever is greater of the following:

(a) the length of each gap;

(b) 30 m.

       (6) The first stripe must commence 12 m from the runway designation number as shown in Figure 8.19 (3).

       (7) The width (W) of the runway centreline marking must not be less than:

(a) 0.3 m for:

 (i) non-instrument runways; and

 (ii) code 1 or 2 instrument non-precision approach runways; and

(b) 0.45 m for:

 (i) code 3 or 4 instrument non-precision approach runways; and

 (ii) CAT I precision approach runways; and

(c) 0.9 m for:

 (i) CAT II and CAT III precision approach runways; and

 (ii) runways with an RVR of less than 550 m for take-off.
