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 45 m in length, each having a width (W), and each with inside edges separated by a distance (D), such that for a runway width mentioned in a row of column 1 of Table 8.22 (8), W and D, respectively, are as mentioned in the same row of column 2 and 3, respectively;

 (ii) the ends of the stripes nearest the threshold must be located at 300 m from the line of the runway threshold.
Note   For runways with a VASIS, CASA recommends that aiming point markings should be provided to the relevant precision approach runway standard.

8.23 Touchdown zone markings

       (1) A touchdown zone marking must be provided at each end of a sealed, concrete or asphalt runway that is at least 30 m wide and at least 1 500 m long.

Note   CASA recommends that a touchdown zone marking be provided at both ends of other sealed, concrete or asphalt runways.

       (2) The touchdown zone marking must comply with the following pattern:

(a) on a precision approach runway — the ICAO "A" – basic pattern, in accordance with section 8.24;

(b) on other runways:

 (i) the ICAO "A"– basic pattern; or

 (ii) the simple pattern.

8.24 Touchdown zone markings – ICAO "A" – basic pattern

       (1) The ICAO "A" – basic pattern touchdown zone marking must consist of pairs of white rectangular markings symmetrically disposed about the runway centreline.

       (2) As shown in Figure 8.24 (2)-1, with further examples shown in Figure 8.24 (2)-2, each ICAO "A" – basic pattern touchdown zone marking must:

(a) be 22.5 m long and 3 m wide; and

(b) have a lateral spacing between the inner sides of the rectangles equal to that of the aiming point markings.

       (3) Subject to subsections (4) and (5), the numbers and locations of pairs of touchdown zone markings must be in accordance with Table 8.24 (3) such that for an item in a row of column 2 of the Table, the numbers of pairs and the location of each pair, respectively, are the numbers and the 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
