Division 15 Other lights on an aerodrome
9.133 Works limit lights
(1) An aerodrome operator may provide works limit lights to delineate the limit of the works area for persons associated with the works organisation.
(2) Works limit lights must be portable and coloured amber, yellow or orange.
(3) A works limit light must have a light output that is clearly visible to a pilot approaching the works area but not so great that it creates a hazard.
Note Works limit lights are typically available as a standard type fitting which is commercially available as works warning lights. Alternatively, liquid fuel lanterns with amber, yellow or orange coloured lenses may be suitable.
9.134 Road and car park lighting
RESERVED
Note CASA does not regulate the lighting of roads and car parks, other than ensuring compliance with section 9.143. If road and car park lighting is required on an aerodrome, the aerodrome operator is advised to consult with the relevant local roads authority or Australian Standard AS 1158.1.1 and 1158.1.2, as in force or existing from time to time.
9.135 Road-holding position light
(1) For a runway intended to be used in visibility or RVR conditions less than 350 m, any road‑holding position serving the runway must have a road-holding position light.
(2) A road-holding position light must:
(a) conform to the standards specified in ICAO Annex 14, Aerodromes, Volume 1, Aerodrome Design and Operations (the standards); or
(b) be capable of demonstrating an outcome equivalent to that of light which does conform to the standards.
