than 1 m outside the edge of the unsealed taxiway provided the section between the taxiway edge and the marker is graded to the same standard as the taxiway; and

(c) provide not less than 0.1 m of vertical clearance from the propeller or engine pod of the aircraft that:

 (i) is regularly using the aerodrome; and

 (ii) being an aircraft which the runway is appropriately nominated by the aerodrome operator to serve — is closest to the ground; and

(d) enable pilots to clearly identify the edge of the unsealed taxiway.

       (3) If markers are used to delineate the graded edge of the taxiway strip or the overall edge of the taxiway strip, they must:

(a) conform to the specification of subsection 8.07 (2) and

(b) be provided in addition to taxiway edge markers.

8.14 The use of markers on an unsealed apron

       (1) If any part of the edge of an unsealed apron is not visible to the pilot in the cockpit of an aircraft, then apron edge markers must be provided along the apron edge.

       (2) The apron edge markers must be yellow cones placed at a maximum distance of 30 m apart.

CHAPTER 8

Division 3 Runway markings

8.15 Introduction

       (1) Runway markings on sealed runway surfaces must be white.

       (2) Pre-threshold markings must be yellow.

       (3) At runway intersections, markings of the runway with the highest nominated code, or the highest aircraft movement rate, must take precedence over, or interrupt, the markings of the other runway.

       (4) At a runway intersection with a taxiway, the runway markings, other than runway side strip markings, must interrupt the taxiway markings.

       (5) The surface of runway markings must:

(a) have a surface texture not less than the minimum required for the surrounding runway surface; or

(b) if meeting the requirement in paragraph (a) is not possible — not adversely affect the required coefficient of friction of the runway surface.

Note   This is to reduce the risk of uneven braking action.

8.16 Pre-threshold area markings

       (1) If an area before the non-displaced threshold, or the runway end in the reciprocal direction:

(a) has a sealed, concrete or asphalt surface; and

(b) exceeds 60 m in length; and

(c) is not suitable for normal aircraft usage;

        then pre-threshold area markings must be used.

Note   This does not apply to runway starter extensions.

       (2) As shown in Figure 8.16 (2), pre-threshold area markings must consist of a sequence of yellow chevrons 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
