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).
