a taxiway strip, or within the distances specified in Table 6.53 (1)-2 as applicable for the relevant taxiway code letter;

(c) a clearway if it would otherwise endanger an aircraft in the air.

Note   CASA recommends that any equipment or installation required for air navigation or aircraft safety which must be located on the non-graded portion of a runway strip should be regarded as an obstacle and should be frangible and mounted as low as possible.

       (4) Unless its function requires it to be there for air navigation or aircraft safety, equipment or an installation must not be located within the following distances from a precision approach runway nominated as CAT I, II or III:

(a) 240 m of the end of the runway strip;

(b) where the code number is 3 or 4 — 60 m of the extended centreline;

(c) where the code number is 1 or 2 — 45 m of the extended centreline.

       (5) Equipment or an installation required for air navigation or aircraft safety which is located on or near a strip of a precision approach runway nominated as CAT I, II or III must be frangible and mounted as low as possible if:

(a) for code number 4 and code letter F — it is situated on that portion of the strip within 77.5 m of the runway centreline; or

(b) it is:

 (i) situated within 240 m of the end of the strip; and

 (ii) it is situated within:

              1.         for code number 3 — 460 m of the extended runway centreline; or

Division 3 Meteorological facilities

19.17 Protection of meteorological facilities

Note   For background information, the following are set out in the MET section of the AIP, as in force or existing from time to time and freely available on the Airservices Australia website: the location and configuration of the Bureau of Meteorology weather information station sites, their phone numbers and VHF broadcast frequencies (if relevant). Instruments used to measure meteorological parameters are generally co‑located within an instrument enclosure which may contain a variety of instruments.

       (1) This section applies only in relation to instrument enclosures within an aerodrome boundary.

       (2) An aerodrome operator must refer any proposed development in or around a buffer zone or instrument enclosure to the provider of the meteorological facilities within the instrument enclosure for assessment of whether the development would adversely affect the operation of the facilities.

Note   The buffer zones are described in section 19.18.
