Configuration A, for runway guard lights, has the meaning given in subsection 9.99 (1).

Configuration B, for runway guard lights, has the meaning given in subsection 9.99 (1).

critical obstacle means the obstacle within the take-off climb area, or within the approach area, or within both areas, which subtends the greatest vertical angle when measured from the inner edge of the take-off climb surface and/or the approach surface.

CTAF means common traffic advisory frequency.

CVOR means conventional VOR.

daylight means the period between the beginning of morning civil twilight and the end of evening civil twilight.

declared distances means the following:

(a) take-off run available (TORA), being the length of runway declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane taking off;

        Note   TORA may include additional length available from a starter extension if provided.

(b) take-off distance available (TODA), being the length of the take-off run available plus the length of the clearway, if provided;

(c) accelerate-stop distance available (ASDA), being the length of the take-off run available plus the length of the stopway, if provided;

(d) landing distance available (LDA), being the length of runway which is declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane landing.

Department has the meaning given in item 1 in subsection 19A (1) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

Note   "Department" means the Department of State of the Commonwealth that is administered by the Minister who, from time to time, administers CASR.

D value, for a rotorcraft, is the rotorcraft's maximum dimension when rotors are turning, and is the distance in metres measured from:

(a) the most forward position of the main rotor tip path plane of the rotorcraft;

to:

(b) the most rearward position of the tail rotor tip path plane or of the rotorcraft's fuselage.

Note   "D value" is a common design term used in ICAO Annex 14, Aerodromes, Volume II, Heliports. For ICAO
