Taxiway Centerline Width

7. Taxiway and Apron Markings.

7.1. Taxiway and taxi lane Centerline Stripe. Mark the centerline of all taxiways, guidelines on runways, and taxi lanes on aprons and pads with a single continuous 152-millimeter (6-inch) wide yellow stripe.

31CES/CENM

Deceptive Markings

9.3.2. Taxiway and Apron Shoulders. Mark deceptive surfaces on the edges of taxiways and aprons with perpendicular stripes as shown in Figure 18. These markings consist of a series of

914-millimeter (3-foot) wide stripes positioned perpendicular to the edge markings. On curves, a stripe is placed at each point of tangency and intermediate stripes are spaced uniformly up to 9 meters (30 feet) apart. Figure 18 shows the dimensions and spacing of the stripes. Stripes are located so that the inner edge of the marking is coincident with the edge of the full-strength pavement.

VFR/INST Runway Holding Position

31CES/CENM

7.2 Both VFR and instrument holding positions are marked from edge to edge of the pavement surface, including paved shoulders.

7.2.2.1. This hold position is configured differently from a VFR hold position and is augmented with the letters "INST" on the runway side of the line. The letters are to be read when facing the runway. They are marked in block letters 1829 millimeters (6 feet) high by 610 millimeters (2 feet) wide, spaced 305 millimeters (1 foot) apart. The letters are formed with a 152-millimeter (6-inch) stroke. The "INST" designator must be placed symmetrically between the taxiway centerline and the taxiway edge or edge marking on the left side of the centerline. For hold lines over 61 meters (200 feet) long, mark the "INST" designator at intervals not exceeding 45.7 meters (150 feet).

Taxiway/lane/track Edge Stripes

7.3.2. This marking consists of two 152-millimeter (6-inch) wide broken stripes separated by a gap 152 millimeters (6 inches) wide.

ATTACHMENT # 2

5.3.1. Paint.

5.3.1.1. Fully Cured Pavement. Apply paint at a wet film thickness of 0.305 millimeter to 0.356 millimeter (12 mils to 14 mils) for a desired dry film thickness of approximately 0.203 millimeter (8 mils). This thickness is needed to properly bind retroreflective beads in the paint. At this rate, coverage will be approximately 3 square meters per liter (121 square feet per gallon).

5.3.1.2. New Pavement. If new pavement surfaces must be opened to operations before being allowed to fully cure, apply temporary markings on new pavement at an application rate that will result in a dry film thickness of

0.102 millimeter to 0.152 millimeter (4 mils to 6 mils); this will produce a marking of sufficient prominence to allow operations. Touch up the marking in the event of bleeding, and remark the pavement at the normal application rate after the pavement is thirty days old.

5.3.2. Apply thermoplastics and preformed reflective tape in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

5.3.3. Apply retro reflective media (glass beads) at approximately 3.6 kilograms to

3.9 kilograms per 11.2 square meters (8 pounds to 9 pounds per gallon of paint or 121 square feet) of marked surface area.

5.3.4. Painted markings should not be allowed to build up beyond a total thickness of approximately 1.02 millimeters (40 mils). This will occur after about five marking cycles unless surface abrasion (such as can be caused by snow- removal equipment) reduces this buildup. Over-painting will cause the marking to eventually crack and peel.

5.3.5. To minimize hook-skip potential, ensure paint buildup does not exceed 3.1 millimeters (0.125 inch) within 61 meters (200 feet) on either side of the aircraft arresting system pendant.
