ground adjacent to the parking position; and

(b) such that it is clearly visible to the pilot of an approaching aircraft.

       (2) As shown in Figure 8.58 (2)-1, for fixed-wing aircraft, the aircraft parking position designation must be as follows:

(a) marked on the ground;

(b) coloured yellow;

(c) comprising numbers 1 m high, located in a circle with a 2 m inside diameter and 0.15 m line thickness;

(d) with the centre of the circle, as viewed by the pilot:

 (i) 4 m forward of the nose wheel position; and

 (ii) 5 m to the left.

       (3) The size of the aircraft parking position designation must not be less than the legend and face size specified in section 8.69 and Figures 8.69 (1)-1 to 8.69 (1)-5.

Note   An illustration showing a combination of all the aircraft parking position markings at an aircraft parking position is shown in Figure 8.58 (2)-2.

       (4) The aircraft parking position designation may be omitted from the ground at a parking position serviced by a VDGS or an A-VDGS if:

(a) the aircraft parking position designation is marked on the parking position identification sign in white letters on a black background, or black letters on a yellow background; and

(b) the parking position designation is:

 (i) provided by means of a VDGS or an A-VDGS; and

 (ii) clearly visible to the pilot of the approaching aircraft.

         Note   See section 9.126 for details of parking position identification signage.

8.59 Aircraft type parking restriction designator markings

       (1) An aerodrome operator may provide an aircraft type parking restriction designation to indicate the type of aircraft that a parking position accommodates.

       (2) As shown in Figure 8.59 (2), an aircraft type parking restriction designation must be as follows:

(a) 2 m high, coloured yellow, and located in the space made by a break in the lead-in line (the space);

(b) aligned with the lead-in line to be easily read by a pilot approaching on the line;

(c) from the perspective of an approaching pilot:

 (i) 1 m beyond the relevant aircraft parking position designator that is in the space; and

 (ii) 0.3 m from where the lead-in line recommences after the space.

       (3) Aircraft type parking restriction designations must comply with the standards for aircraft type designator markings mentioned in section 8.49.

       (4) Aircraft type parking restriction designations must be provided at the lead-in line for each position to which an aircraft type parking restriction applies.

       (5) Where a diverging lead-in line leads to an apron parking position suitable for helicopters only, the designation "H ONLY" must be provided.
