5.3.9.3 Runway edge lights shall be placed along the full length of the runway and shall be in two parallel rows equidistant from the centre line, commencing one-light spacing from the threshold and continuing to one-light spacing from the runway end.

5.3.9.4 Runway edge lights shall be placed along the edges of the area declared for use as the runway or outside the edges of the area at a distance of not more than 3 m.

5.3.9.5 Where the width of the area which could be declared as runway exceeds 60 m, the distance between the rows of lights shall be determined taking into account the nature of the operations, the light distribution characteristics of the runway edge lights, and other visual aids serving the runway.

5.3.9.6.The longitudinal spacing of runway edge lights must be uniform and be:

(a) for an instrument runway, 60 m +0 / –5 m;

(b) for a non-instrument runway, 90 m ± 10 m, or 60 m +0 / –5 m if there is an intention to upgrade the runway to an instrument runway at some time in the future.

(c) for non-precision instrument runways intended to be used in visibility conditions of 1.5 km or greater, where existing edge lights are spaced at 90 m ±10 m, it is acceptable to retain this spacing until the next replacement or improvement of the edge lighting system. (This situation typically arises from an existing non-instrument runway being upgraded to a non-precision instrument runway, but without re-installing the runway edge lights to the 60 m +0 / -5 m standard.)

5.3.9.6.1 The lights on opposite sides of the runway axis shall be on lines at right angels to that axis. At intersections of runways, lights may be spaced irregularly or omitted, provided that adequate guidance remains available to the pilot.

5.3.9.6.2 Where the runway is a non-instrument or a non-precision instrument runway, and it is intersected by other runways or taxiways:

(a) within 600 m of the threshold, lights may be spaced irregularly, but not omitted, and

(b) more than 600 m from the threshold, lights may be spaced irregularly or omitted, but no two consecutive lights may be omitted; provided that such irregular spacing or omission does not significantly alter the visual guidance available to a pilot using the runway.

5.3.9.6.3 Runway edge lights must not to be omitted on a precision approach runway.

5.3.9.6.4 Where a runway edge light cannot be omitted, inset runway edge lights must be provided in place of elevated lights.

5.3.9.6.5 Unless a light is omitted or displaced in accordance with Paragraph 5.3.9.6.2, a runway edge light must be aligned with a light on the opposite side of the runway
