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 column 3.

     Table 8.65 (3)   Alignment line distances for X and Y
Aerodrome reference code letter  Distance X  Distance Y
A or B                           5 m         9 m
C, D, E or F                     10 m        18 m

       (4) Despite paragraph (2) (d), the alignment line may be truncated if the provision of the full length is not possible due to a physical obstruction, provided that the truncation does not create a hazard to aircraft operations.

       (5) Subsection (1) does not apply if:

(a) the aerodrome manual records that a marshaller must be present for an arriving aircraft that is to use the parking position; and

(b) a marshaller is present accordingly.

8.66 Secondary aircraft parking position markings

       (1) If provided under subsection 8.55 (4), secondary aircraft parking position markings must comprise:

(a) a lead-in line or dots to the aircraft stop position; and

(b) a stop line for each aircraft (the relevant aircraft) for which the secondary aircraft parking position is provided; and

(c) aircraft type designation markings for the relevant aircraft; and

(d) an aircraft parking position designation.

       (2) Secondary aircraft parking position markings must be coloured yellow.

       (3) Where a secondary aircraft parking position marking and a primary aircraft parking position marking would otherwise overlap:

(a) the primary aircraft parking position marking must be marked in preference to the secondary aircraft parking position marking; and

(b) the secondary aircraft parking position marking must be omitted by 0.9 m either side of the primary aircraft parking position marking.

8.67 Keyhole markings

       (1) Despite paragraph 8.66 (1) (b), if the secondary parking position is designed for aircraft with a wingspan of up to 24 m, the stop position may be identified with a keyhole marking as shown in Figure 8.67 (1).

       (2) The marking must be located so that the centre of the ring is at the final nose wheel position.

       (3) If required, any aircraft type or weight limit designation must be located at the commencement of the associated lead-in line or dotted line.

       (4) If neither a VDGS nor a marshaller is provided for the parking position, the keyhole marking must also be marked with both a pilot stop line and an alignment line.

     Figure 8.67 (1)   Keyhole marking (shows matters)

8.68 Lead-out lines

       (1) A lead-out line must be provided on a parking position where an aircraft is to depart from a parking position under its own power and without the assistance of a push-back vehicle or unit.
