VDGS, or A-VDGS available.

       (2) A pilot stop bar may be provided if a marshaller, VDGS or A-VDGS is available.

       (3) As shown in Figure 8.64 (3), the pilot stop line must be such that when the aircraft is stopped at the nose wheel position, the line is:

(a) to the left of the pilot; and

(b) 6 m long, 0.3 m wide and coloured yellow; and

(c) offset from the alignment line by the distance mentioned in a row of column 2 of Table 8.64 (3) that corresponds to the aerodrome reference code letter mentioned in the same row in column 1 that is the reference code letter for the aircraft.

     Table 8.64 (3)   Pilot stop line offset
Aerodrome reference code letter  Offset from the alignment line
A, B or C                        5 m
D, E or F                        10 m

     Figure 8.64 (3)   Pilot stop line (no marshaller) (shows matters)

       (4) Despite paragraphs (3) (b) and (c), if aircraft of all reference code letters are to be accommodated at the 1 parking position then:

(a) the offset value for code letter C must be used; and

(b) the length of the pilot stop line marking must be 11 m.

       (5) As shown in Figure 8.64 (3), the aircraft type designation for the pilot stop line must be written in yellow numbers and letters that are:

(a) 1 m high; and

(b) 0.15 m below the pilot stop line; and

(c) aligned to end where the pilot stop line ends on the side closest to the pilot; and

(d) legible to the pilot of an approaching aircraft.

8.65 Alignment lines

       (1) If no VDGS is provided, an aerodrome operator must provide an alignment line beyond the stop line.

       (2) As shown in Figure 8.65 (2), the alignment line must:

(a) be coloured yellow; and

(b) have a line width of 0.15 m; and

(c) extend from the location of an aircraft nose wheel in the parked position, backwards under the body of the aircraft for a distance "X"; and

(d) extend forward from the location of the aircraft nose wheel in the parked position, commencing at a point 3 m past the most forward nose wheel position, for a distance "Y"; and

(e) be such that there is a 1 m long section of the alignment line placed in the centre of the 3 m gap.

       (3) For subsection (2), for an aircraft with a reference code letter mentioned in a row of column 1 in Table 8.65 (3):

(a) X = the distance mentioned in the same row in column 2; and

(b) Y = the distance mentioned in the same row in
