is less than 30 m wide, or less than 1 500 m long.

       (2) Aiming point markings must comply with the standards in this section, and in sections 8.23, 8.24 and 8.25.

        Precision approach runway

       (3) For a precision approach runway, the aiming point marking must consist of 2 conspicuous stripes whose location and dimensions are in accordance with Table 8.22 (3).

       (4) For Table 8.22 (3), the aiming point marking must be located not more than the distance from the threshold that is mentioned in Row A of the column that is for the landing distance available.

       (5) Subject to subsection (6), for Table 8.22 (3), the length, the width, and the lateral spacing between the inner sides, respectively, of each stripe of the aiming point marking must be the length, the width and the lateral spacing mentioned in Row B, Row C and Row D, respectively, of the column that is for the landing distance available.

       (6) For Table 8.22 (3), the superscript letters "a" and "c" included against certain values in the Table have the following meaning:

(a) a means that the greater dimension of the specified range may be used if increased conspicuity is required;

(b) c means that the lateral spacing may be varied within the limits mentioned to minimise the contamination of the marking by rubber deposits.
Note   For superscript letter b, the figures were deduced by reference to the outer main gear wheel span which is element 2 of the ARC.

       (7) Despite subsections (3) and (4), on a runway with a VASIS, the beginning of the aiming point marking must coincide with the origin of the visual approach slope.

        Non-precision approach runway

       (8) For a non-precision approach runway, or a non-instrument runway, the aiming point marking must comply with:

(a) the relevant precision approach runway standard in Table 8.22 (3); or

(b) the following:

 (i) the marking must consist of 2 conspicuous stripes, each
