in particular the jet blast problem and noise.
(h) Where contractors work on or traverse aircraft pavement areas, these areas should be
inspected thoroughly before they are opened again for aircraft use, with particular
attention to the presence of debris and the general cleanliness of the surface.
(i) Where aircraft are constantly using areas open to contractors, inspections at frequent
intervals are required to ensure the continuing operational safety of the aerodrome.
(j) Adequate marking arrangements should be provided for crane jibs when extra conspicuity
is considered desirable.
(k) If work is of prolonged duration, a constant watch is required to ensure that the marking
and lighting of obstacles and unserviceable areas does not degrade below acceptable
limits.
(l) The effect of tall cranes on ILS and radar, in conjunction with those responsible for
electronic landing aids and steps taken to reduce limitations to the minimum, should be
considered.

USE OF UNSERVICEABILITY LIGHTS
When lights are used to mark temporary unserviceable areas at night or during reduced visibility
conditions, these lights mark the most potentially dangerous extremities of the area. A minimum of
four such lights could be used, except where the area is triangular in shape where a minimum of
three lights may be employed. The number of lights may be increased when the area is large or of
unusual configuration. At least one light should be installed for each 7.5 m of peripheral distance of
the area. If the lights are directional, they should be orientated so that, as far as possible, their beams
are aligned in the direction from which aircraft or vehicles will approach. Where aircraft or vehicles
will normally approach from several directions, consideration should be given to adding extra lights or
using omnidirectional lights to show the area from these directions. Unserviceable area lights should
be frangible. Their height should be sufficiently low to preserve clearance for propellers and for engine
pods of jet aircraft.

USE OF TEMPORARY RUNWAY MARKINGS
(a) Circumstances may occur when it is not practicable to install permanent markings, for
example during runway resurfacing. In order to provide sufficient visual guidance to
aircraft, the following markings should be considered:
(1) runway centre line;
(2) taxiway centre line lead on/off;
(3) runway edge line;
(4) runway threshold; and
(5) touchdown zone and aiming point markings.
(b) Centre line and edge marking widths can be replaced by temporary markings of reduced
width from 0.9 m to 0.6 m, if required.
(c) Touchdown zone and aiming point markings should be painted as soon as possible after
the resurface of the runway.
(d) Threshold markings should be painted as soon as possible, using temporary materials
before making them permanent.
ADR.OPS.B.075 Safeguarding of aerodromes
(a) The aerodrome operator shall monitor on the aerodrome and its surroundings:
(1) obstacle limitation and protection surfaces as established in accordance with the
certification basis, and other surfaces and areas associated with the aerodrome, in
order to take, within its competence, appropriate action to mitigate the risks
associated with the penetration of those surfaces and areas;
(2) marking and lighting of obstacles in order to be able to take action within its
competence, as appropriate; and
(3) hazards related to human activities and land use in order to take action within its
competence, as appropriate.
(b) The aerodrome operator shall have procedures in place for mitigating the risks associated
with obstacles, developments and other activities within the monitored areas that could
impact safe operations of aircraft operating at, to or from the aerodrome.
ADR.OPS.B.075 AMC1 Safeguarding of aerodromes
GENERAL
(a) The aerodrome operator should have procedures to monitor the changes in the obstacle
environment, marking and lighting, and in human activities or land use on the aerodrome
and the areas around the aerodrome, as defined in coordination with the CAA. The scope,
limits, tasks and responsibilities for the monitoring should be defined in coordination with
the relevant air traffic services providers, and with the CAA and other relevant authorities.
(b) The limits of the aerodrome surroundings that should be monitored by the aerodrome
operator are defined in coordination with the CAA and should include the areas that can be
visually monitored during the inspections of the manoeuvring area.
(c) The aerodrome operator should have procedures to mitigate the risks associated with
changes on the aerodrome and its surroundings identified with the monitoring procedures.
The scope, limits, tasks, and responsibilities for the mitigation of risks associated to
obstacles or hazards outside the perimeter fence of the aerodrome should be defined in
coordination with the relevant air traffic services providers, and with the CAA and other
relevant authorities.
(d) The risks caused by human activities and land use which should be assessed and
