8.99 LAHSO distance-to-go signs

       (1) LAHSO distance-to-go signs must be provided at a runway where runway geometry prevents a pilot engaged in LAHSO from readily and clearly seeing the hold short line.
       (2) LAHSO distance-to-go signs must:
(a) be provided on the left-hand side of the runway as seen by the landing pilot; and
(b) display increments of 300 m from the hold short line.
       (3) For LAHSO distance-to-go signs:
(a) there must be 3 signs, each appropriately marked with 1 of the following sets of numerals to show the metric distance-to-go:
 (i) 300;
 (ii) 600;
 (iii) 900; and
(b) below each set of numerals, the designation of the intersecting runway must be displayed in smaller characters, as illustrated in Figure 8.99 (3); and
(c) the letters and numbers used in the sign must be in black on a yellow background; and
(d) the height of the distance numerals must be 600 mm and the height of the runway designation must be 200 mm.

8.100 Parking position identification signs

        A parking position identification sign must:
(a) be provided at an aircraft parking position that is equipped with a VDGS; and
(b) be located so as to be clearly visible from the cockpit of an approaching aircraft before it turns into the parking position; and
(c) consist of a numeric, or alpha-numeric, inscription denoting the parking position that is either:

CHAPTER 8

Division 7 Wind direction indicators

8.101 Requirements

       (1) An aerodrome operator:

(a) must install and maintain at least 1 wind direction indicator at the aerodrome, unless this MOS requires the installation of more than 1 wind direction indicator; and

(b) may install and maintain wind direction indicators additional to those required under paragraph (a) in accordance with the requirements of this subsection.

       (2) A wind direction indicator must be visible from aircraft:

(a) in flight; or

(b) on the manoeuvring area.

       (3) A wind direction indicator must be such that it is not affected by the effects of any air disturbance caused by buildings or other structures.

       (4) A wind direction indicator must be provided at the threshold of an instrument runway.

       (5) Despite subsections (2) and (4), for a runway that is not more than 1 200 m in length, the wind direction indicator may be centrally located provided it is visible from:

(a) both approaches;
