       (3) The lights, other than those indicating a stop position, must be as follows:

(b) visible throughout the taxi manoeuvre for which they are intended to provide guidance.

       (4) The lights used to delineate lead-in, turning and lead-out lines must be spaced at intervals of not more than 7.5 m on curves and 15 m on straight sections.

       (5) The lights indicating a stop position must be fixed unidirectional lights showing red.

       (6) The lighting circuit for the lights must be designed so that the lights can be switched on to indicate that an aircraft parking position is to be used, and switched off to indicate that it is not to be used.

9.126 Parking position identification signage

       (1) An aircraft parking position that is equipped with a VDGS or an A-VDGS must have a parking position identification sign.

(a) in white on a black background; or

(b) in black on a yellow background.

       (4) For an aircraft parking position intended for use at night, the parking position identification sign must be illuminated at night by:

(a) a continuous line of green or white light that outlines the inscription and is clearly visible to pilots; or

(b) direct or ambient lighting which illuminates the sign face and is clearly visible to pilots.

       (5) The illumination under subsection (4) must not create a hazard to pilots or ground personnel.
