procedure designer to be critical obstacles; and

(b) include the procedures in the aerodrome manual.

       (3) The aerodrome operator must inform the designer of a terminal instrument flight procedure at the aerodrome of the following:

(a) any change in the status of an existing critical obstacle;

(b) any proposed development that is to be higher than the critical obstacles within the area depicted by the designer;

(c) any new object or structure that is higher than the critical obstacles within the area depicted by the designer.

CHAPTER 7

Division 3 Aerodrome obstacle and terrain charts

7.21 Type A charts

       (1) An aerodrome operator must prepare a Type A chart:

(a) for each runway at the aerodrome that is used in scheduled international air transport operations; and

(b) that is:

 (i) included in the aerodrome manual; or

 (ii) recorded as an Aerodrome Terrain and Obstacle Chart – ICAO (Electronic).

       (2) Subsection (1) does not apply if the same information is provided in the Aerodrome Terrain and Obstacle Chart – ICAO (Electronic).

        Note   See section 7.24.

       (3) The obstacle data to be collected, and the way the Type A chart is presented, must be in accordance with the standards and procedures set out in ICAO Annex 4.

       (4) For a Type A chart, obstacle data must be in a digital format and be provided to the AIS provider in accordance with Subpart 175.E of CASR.

       (5) If no obstacle exists within the take-off flight path area, as specified by ICAO Annex 4, a Type A chart is not required, but a statement to this effect with an explanatory note must be included in the aerodrome manual.

       (6) If a Type A chart has been prepared, or updated, a copy of the chart must be given to CASA as soon as reasonably practicable.

       (7) If a Type A chart has been prepared and issued, the take-off flight area must be monitored and any changes to the Type A chart information must be communicated as soon as possible to all Type A chart holders on the list mentioned in subsection (9).

       (8) The currency and accuracy of the following must be confirmed as part of the aerodrome technical inspection:

(a) the Type A chart;

(b) the aerodrome operator's obstacle monitoring procedures;

(c) the distribution list of current Type A chart holders.

Note   Changes to the Type A chart information but not to the take-off climb surface of the OLS do not require NOTAM action. If a change to Type A chart information is also the subject of NOTAM action, additional separate advice to the Type A chart holders is not required.

       (9) The aerodrome manual must contain:

(a) an up-to-date distribution list of current
