SECTION 6 CHAPTER 1 ANNEX A

AERODROME DESIGN ELEMENTS

The following aerodrome design elements are used, where relevant, in Chapter 2, Chapter 3 and Chapter 411Owing to the specific shipborne heliport context, alternate terms may be used to describe the aerodrome design elements identified in this annex. Additional aerodrome design elements that are specific to shipborne heliports may also be used. Each of these shipborne heliport aerodrome design elements are outlined in Australian Defence Force Maritime Materiel Requirements Set - DEF (AUST) 5000 - Volume 11 Ship Aviation Requirements (November 2017). of this section:

physical characteristics of movement facilities

aircraft arresting systems

obstacle restrictions and limitations

visual aids provided by aerodrome markings, markers, signals, wind direction indicators, and so on

visual aids provided by aerodrome lighting

Communication, Navigation, Surveillance (CNS) and Meteorological (MET) facilities

earthing points

light aircraft tie-down facilities

radio communication facilities

rescue fire fighting requirements.

The following aerodromes design elements are outside the scope of Section 6:

facilities that may be on aerodromes associated with maintaining aircraft, such as hangars, corrosion control (including washes), spares storage, refuelling, ground power and de-icing

facilities that may be on aerodromes associated with aviation training and operations support

amenities on aerodromes such as accommodation and catering

aerodrome roads (apart from 'roadways' on aprons and emergency access roads) except to the extent that their lighting affects pilot vision.
