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.

8.60 Aircraft parking position limit designators

       (1) An aerodrome operator may provide an aircraft parking position limit designator to inform pilots of any limitation applying to a parking position, for example, arising from an aircraft's weight or wingspan.

       (2) As illustrated in Figure 8.60 (2) for a weight limit, an aircraft parking position limit designator 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 designation that is in the space; and

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

(d) if used to limit aircraft weight — expressed in kilograms;

(e) if used to limit wingspan — expressed in metres.

8.61 Pilot turn line markings

       (1) An aerodrome operator may provide a pilot turn line at the point of initiation of any turn.

       (2) A pilot turn line must be as follows:

(a) placed at right angles to the relevant lead-in line;

(b) located on the left-hand side as viewed by the pilot;

(c) marked with a 6 m long and 0.3 m wide yellow line located abeam the pilot's position when the aircraft nose wheel is at the point of initiation of the turn;

(d) supplemented by a 6 m long and 0.3 m wide parallel yellow line that is:

 (i) located abeam the position of the aircraft nose wheel when the wheel is at the point of initiation of the turn; and

 (ii) marked with a yellow, 45 degree, 2 m wide arrowhead, indicating the direction of turn.

       (3) If an aircraft type designation is provided with the pilot turn line, it must be marked in yellow letters, 1 m high and 0.15 m below the turn line, facing the direction of incoming aircraft.

       (4) For subsection (3), for an aerodrome reference code letter mentioned in a row of column 1 of Table 8.61 (4) — the aircraft type designation must be offset from the lead-in line by the distance specified in the same row in column 2.
