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.

     Table 8.61 (4)   Pilot turn line and aircraft type designation offset

Aerodrome reference code letter  Offset
A, B or C                        5 m
D, E or F                        10 m

8.62 Primary aircraft parking position markings

       (1) Primary aircraft parking position markings must be comprised of the following:

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

(b) a stop line or stop lines for the aircraft (the relevant aircraft) for which the primary aircraft parking position is provided;

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

(d) a relevant aircraft parking position designation.

Note   The position of the stop line depends on whether the aircraft is under the control of the apron marshaller, a VDGS, or the pilot. A VDGS is sometimes called a "Nose in Guidance System" or NIGS. Where a VDGS is not provided for a primary aircraft parking position, an alignment line must be provided beyond the stop line — see section 8.65.
       (2) Where an aircraft is required to power out of the parking position, a lead-out line must be provided.

8.63 Marshaller stop lines

       (1) A marshaller stop line must be provided for any aircraft parking position where a marshaller is required to accurately determine the stopping position of the aircraft.

       (2) As shown in Figure 8.63 (2), a marshaller stop line must:

(a) be a yellow line that is 6 m long and 0.3 m wide; and

(b) commence where the aircraft nose wheel is to stop; and

(c) as seen by the marshaller facing the incoming aircraft — run at right angles to, and on the right-hand side of, the lead-in line.

       (3) Despite paragraph (2) (c), the marshaller stop line may be placed on the left-hand side of, or equally across, the lead-in line if it is not physically possible to mark the line on the right‑hand side.

       (4) The aircraft type designation for a marshaller stop line must be in yellow numbers and letters that are:

(a) 0.3 m high; and

(b) 0.15 m below the midpoint of the marshaller stop line; and

(c) legible to the marshaller facing the incoming aircraft.

8.64 Pilot stop line markings

       (1) A pilot stop line must be provided if there is no marshaller, VDGS, or A-VDGS available.

       (2) A pilot stop bar may be provided if a marshaller, VDGS or A-VDGS is available.

       (3) As shown in Figure 8.64 (3), the pilot stop line must be such that when the aircraft is stopped
