planned for a flight of the aeroplane, planned to use the aerodrome for landing, unless an exception in subsection (3) or (4) applies for the flight.

Exceptions
 (3) It is an exception to the requirement in subsection (2) if reliable arrangements, for the purpose of enabling a safe night landing, are made for a person:
 (a) who is qualified, and competent, to activate and ensure the correct functioning of the runway lights; and
 (b) who will activate, and ensure the correct functioning of, the runway lighting during the period from at least 30 minutes before the expected time of arrival until the earlier of:
 (i) the time landing and taxiing have been completed; and
 (ii) first light plus 10 minutes.

Exception—holding fuel
 (4) It is an exception to the requirement in subsection (2) if the aeroplane carries holding fuel sufficient to enable holding until first light plus 10 minutes, at the aerodrome.

       4.18  Pilot-activated lighting at isolated destination aerodromes

       Application
        (1) This section applies if, for a flight of an aeroplane:
 (a) runway lighting is required for an aerodrome to meet the requirements in paragraph 121.205(2)(a) of CASR for the aerodrome to be suitable for the aeroplane to land; and
 (b) the aerodrome is an isolated destination aerodrome; and
 (c) the aerodrome is equipped with pilot-activated lighting and standby power for the runway lights.

Requirements
 (2) In planning to use the aerodrome for a flight of the aeroplane, reliable arrangements must be made, for the purpose of ensuring a safe night landing, for a person:
 (a) who is qualified, and competent, to activate and ensure the correct functioning of the runway lighting; and
 (b) who will activate, and ensure the correct functioning of, the runway lighting during the period from at least 30 minutes before the expected time of arrival until the earlier of:
 (i) the time landing and taxiing have been completed; and
 (ii) first light plus 10 minutes.
 (3) The pilot in command of the aeroplane must not continue the flight to the isolated destination aerodrome, past the critical point, unless:
 (a) a reasonable certainty exists that the pilot-activated lighting and standby power for the runway lighting is serviceable; or
 (b) the aeroplane carries holding fuel sufficient to enable holding until first light plus 10 minutes, at the aerodrome.
