where it abuts a taxiway or a taxiway shoulder must not have any step down from the taxiway or a taxiway shoulder exceeding 25 mm.

       (3) Any step up to the taxiway strip from a taxiway or taxiway shoulder must not exceed 25 mm.
     Figure 6.47 (1)   Taxiway composition (illustrates matters)

6.48 Width of taxiway strip

        The width of the taxiway strip:

(a) on each side of the centreline of the taxiway; and

(b) measured from the centreline; and

(c) along the full length of the taxiway;

        must not be less than the following:

(d) for a code F taxiway — 51 m;

(e) for a code E taxiway — 43.5 m;

(f) for a code D taxiway — 37 m;

(g) for a code C taxiway — 26 m;

(h) for a code B taxiway — 20 m;

(i) for a code A taxiway — 15.5 m.

6.49 Width of graded area of taxiway strip

        The graded area of a taxiway strip:

(a) on each side of the taxiway, including shoulders; and

(b) measured from the centreline of the taxiway; and

(c) along the full length of the taxiway;

        must not be less than the following:

(d) for a taxiway where the OMGWS is less than 4.5 m — 10.25 m;

(e) for a taxiway where the OMGWS is at least 4.5 m but less than 6 m — 11 m;

(f) for a taxiway where the OMGWS is at least 6 m but less than 9 m — 12.5 m;

(g) for a taxiway where the OMGWS is at least 9 m but less than 15 m — 18.5 m where the code letter is D;

(h) for a taxiway where the OMGWS is at least 9 m but less than 15 m — 19 m where the code letter is E;

(i) for a taxiway where the OMGWS is at least 9 m but less than 15 m — 22 m where the code letter is F.

6.50 Slope of taxiway strip

       (1) The graded area of a taxiway strip, when measured relative to the transverse slope of the adjacent taxiway surface, must not have a design upward transverse slope that is more than:

(a) for a code C, D, E or F taxiway — 2.5%; or

(b) for a code A or B taxiway — 3%.

       (2) The graded area of a taxiway strip, when measured relative to the horizontal, must not have a design downward transverse slope that exceeds 5.0%.

       (3) No part of the taxiway strip beyond the graded area, and no objects or structures on the taxiway strip beyond the graded area, may project upwards through the plane surface mentioned in subsection (4).
