marking (shows matters)

       (3) On gravel or natural surfaces, the apron must be marked using blue cones, spaced at a minimum distance of 30 m and a maximum distance of 60 m.

Note   For example, "dirt" would be a natural surface.

       (4) For subsection (3), the cones must be the same size as apron edge cones for fixed-wing aircraft.

Note   For apron edge cones for fixed-wing aircraft, see Chapter 8, Division 5.

CHAPTER 8

Division 13 Marking of glider runway strips on an aerodrome

8.126 General

       (1) If a glider runway strip is located wholly or partly within an existing runway strip for powered aircraft, the width of the glider runway strip must be fixed:

(a) on 1 side by the edge of the runway for powered aircraft; and

(b) on the other side, by the existing runway strip markers, adjusted as necessary, as shown in Figures 8.126 (1)-1 and 8.126 (1)-2.

       (2) If a glider runway strip is located outside an existing runway strip for powered aircraft, the glider runway strip must be marked with boundary markers of a conspicuous colour other than white, as shown in Figure 8.126 (2).

       (3) If an end of a glider runway strip is not alongside the end of an existing runway strip for powered aircraft, an additional white double cross on a black background must:
(a) be displayed 20 m in front of the glider strip end markers; and

(b) have the dimensions shown in Figure 8.126 (3); and

(c) be located as illustrated in Figures 8.126 (1)-2 and 8.126 (2).

CHAPTER 9 VISUAL AIDS PROVIDED BY AERODROME LIGHTING

Division 1 Lighting requirements

9.01 Minimum lighting system requirements

       (1) If an aerodrome is available for night operations, lighting systems must be provided for:

(a) all runways, taxiways and aprons intended for night use; and

(b) at least 1 wind direction indicator; and

(c) if an obstacle within the applicable obstacle limitation surface (OLS) area of the aerodrome is determined by CASA as requiring obstacle lighting — that obstacle; and

(d) all unserviceable areas.

       (2) Despite paragraph (1) (a), if appropriate lighting is provided to at least 1 code A or code B taxiway, a retroreflective marker may be used instead
