permitted to be on the runway strip (including visual or navigational aids) must be of low mass and frangibly mounted.

       (3) When a runway is in use for take-off or landing, no mobile object may be on any part of the graded runway strip.

Note   For information regarding the siting of equipment and installations on runway strips, see section 19.16.

6.25 Runway strip availability

        If an aerodrome operator prepares a runway strip and makes it available for take-offs and landings, information to that effect and any associated limitations must be provided to the AIS provider for publication in the AIP.

Note   For information regarding the provision of glider runway strips, see Division 6 of Chapter 6.

6.26 Runway end safety area (RESA)

       (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), a runway end safety area (RESA) must be:

(a) provided at the end of a runway strip; and

(b) prepared, constructed and maintained to:

 (i) protect an aeroplane which undershoots or overruns the runway; and

 (ii) ensure an aeroplane encounters no hazards if it runs off the runway; and

 (iii) ensure the movement of ARFFS vehicles is facilitated.

       (2) Subsection (1) does not apply for a code 1 or 2 non-instrument runway.

       (3) Subsection (1) does not apply if CASA, in writing and on application, approves, with or without conditions, an engineering solution designed to ensure the safe deceleration of an aircraft in the event of a runway overrun.

       (4) The minimum length of a RESA is 60 m unless otherwise provided for in Table 6.26 (4).

       (5) In Table 6.26 (4), for a runway with a code number mentioned in a row of column 1:

(a) the minimum length of the associated RESA is that mentioned in the same row in column 2; and

(b) the preferred length of the associated RESA is that mentioned in the same row in column 3.

1 or 2              60 m                                                                                     120 m

                    240 m (if the runway is intended for scheduled international air transport operations)

       (6) A RESA must, as a minimum, be twice the width of the associated runway.

       (7) The slopes on a RESA must not exceed the following values:

(a) for the downward longitudinal slope — 5%;

(b) for the transverse slope — 5% upwards or downwards.

       (8) Transitions between different slopes on a RESA must be as gradual as possible.

       (9) No portion of a RESA may project above the approach or take-off climb surfaces of the runway.

       (10) A RESA must be free of fixed objects or structures,
