locations mentioned in the same row in columns 3 and 4, respectively.

       (4) If the number of pairs in column 3 of Table 8.24 (3) has a superscript letter "a", the touchdown zone marking within 50 m of the aiming point marking must be omitted.

       (5) There must be a 550 m zone, located symmetrically about the midpoint of the runway length, where no touchdown zone markings are marked.

       (6) A pair of touchdown zone markings corresponding from each runway end that would otherwise fall within the 550 m zone mentioned in subsection (5) must be omitted.

Note    The intent of this marking practice is to preserve a 550 m unmarked area so that pilots do not confuse the surface markings during a landing with the surface markings originating from the opposite runway end.
