procedures:

(i)            horizontally, the nominal final approach and missed approach tracks clear the danger area by a minimum of 1,000 m;

(ii)          vertically, the upper limit of the danger area may be used provided obstacle clearance criteria are met;

(iii)        the missed approach incorporates a minimum turn of 45° away from the danger area.

8.1.2                   Procedure Identification

8.1.2.1              Instrument procedure charts must be identified in accordance with ICAO Annex 4 requirements.

8.1.3                   Straight-in Non-Precision Approach Procedures

8.1.3.1              Wherever possible, non-precision approach procedures must be designed as straight-in approaches in accordance with the alignment criteria contained in PANS‑OPS Vol II or ICAO Doc 9905 for RNP AR APCH.

8.1.3.2              Publication of straight-in minima is limited to aerodromes where the runway conforms to the Non-Precision Approach Runway standards contained in MOS Part 139, with the following exceptions for GPS non-precision approach procedures.

(a)         Runway Width and Strip Width. Minimum runway width of 30 m and a minimum strip width of 90 m for procedures limited to code 1, 2 and 3C aeroplanes. For aerodromes with a runway strip width less than 300 m, the MDA must be adjusted in accordance with paragraph 8.1.4.1. Runways accommodating aeroplanes above code 3C require a minimum graded runway strip width in accordance with MOS Part 139.

(b)         Approach OLS Area and Gradient. The approach OLS area and gradient parameters are as per MOS Part 139, except that the length of inner edge may be reduced to a minimum length equal to the runway strip width provided in accordance with paragraph 8.1.3.2(a). Where an OLS area survey to the Non-Precision Approach Runway criteria is not available, a straight-in approach minima may be published, provided the MDA is 500ft or more above the aerodrome elevation and an operational assessment confirms the visual approach path is clear of obstacles. The visual approach path for these purposes commences at the point where the nominal 3° approach path coincides with the planned MDA. The obstacle free plane extends from this "Nominal Intercept Point" at an altitude equal to the MDA minus MOC, to a point 50 ft above the runway threshold. (See Figure 8‑1). Laterally, the visual approach path will commence with a width equal to the runway strip width provided and splay at 10% to the visual approach point described above.

(c)          Surface Wind Information. Surface wind information must be provided in accordance with CAO 92.2.

(d)         Runway Edge Lighting. Runway edge lighting shall have 60 m spacing, except that existing 90 m spacing is acceptable subject to assessment for Non-Precision Approach Runways intended to be used in visibility conditions of 1.5 km or more. The suitability of existing 90 m spaced lighting for night
