Allow aerodrome operators to use the revised standards for aerodrome markings, markers, signs etc and inset runway edge lights prior to the new Part 139 MOS commencing on 13 August 2020, that is, as soon as the CATS regulations are made.
Objective
In relation to aerodrome markings and other visual aids are maintained frequently. It would not be practical or economical for an aerodrome operator to re-mark or install signs in accordance with the old rules today if they will be non-compliant with the new rules in a few months' time. Remarking lines or replacing signs would be at a significant cost to the aerodrome operator.
In relation to inset runway edge lights, many aerodrome operators would like to install inset lighting using LED technology prior to the commencement of the new rules.
Do you agree with the proposal, to bring forward the visual aids standards in Chapter 8 and allow the use of inset runway edge lighting in Chapter 9 as soon as the CATS regulations are made?
