8.39 Runway holding position markings

       (1) Runway holding position markings must be provided where an asphalt, sealed or concrete taxiway joins or intersects with a runway.

Note   Standards for the location of runway holding positions are specified in Chapter 6, Division 3.

       (2) Subject to subsection (9), runway holding positions must be marked using the Pattern A or Pattern B runway holding position markings, as shown in Figure 8.39 (2).

       (3) The Pattern A marking must be used at an intersection of a taxiway with any of the following:

(a) a non-instrument runway;

(b) a non-precision approach runway;

(c) a precision approach CAT I runway;

(d) a precision approach CAT II or CAT III runway if only 1 runway holding position is marked;

(e) the intersection of a runway with another runway, where 1 of the runways is used as part of a standard taxi route.

       (4) Pattern A and Pattern B markings must be used where 2 or 3 runway holding positions are provided at an intersection of a taxiway with a precision approach runway.

       (5) For subsection (4):

(a) the runway holding position marking closest to the runway must be the Pattern A marking; and

(b) the other runway holding position marking or markings must be Pattern B.

       (6) Runway holding position markings must extend at least across the full width of the sealed taxiway surface.

Note   If sealed shoulders are provided beyond the width of the taxiway, CASA recommends that the aerodrome operator mark the full width of the sealed surface beyond the taxiway to assist in preventing incursions by vehicles.

       (7) The position of a runway holding position marking must be such that, if the nose of an aircraft on the taxiway reaches the marking, the nose will not infringe on the relevant minimum distance specified in section 6.56 for the distance between a runway holding position and the centreline of the runway.

Note   If inset taxiway guard lights are installed, the location of runway holding position markings may need to be adjusted away from the runway to ensure the light fittings can be correctly positioned and aligned with the required holding point position.

       (8) A taxiway guideline must be omitted from at least 0.9 m but not more than 1 m on each side of the runway holding position marking.

       (9) Subsection (2) applies to an existing operator only on and from the earlier of the following:

(a) when the runway holding position is being re-marked (other than as
