Under what circumstances should consideration be given to providing runway centre line lights beyond the mandatory cases?

Consideration should be given to providing runway centre line lights where additional conspicuity is required, such as due to local environment, weather conditions, operational provisions and minima.

What are the two conditions that individually trigger the need for runway centre line lights on a precision approach runway Category I?

The two conditions are: (1) the runway is used by aircraft with high landing speeds, or (2) the width between the runway edge lights is greater than 50 m.

For a take-off runway with an RVR operating minimum of 400 m or higher, what two factors must both be present to require runway centre line lights?

The runway must be used by aeroplanes with a very high take-off speed and the width between the runway edge lights must be greater than 50 m.

Q: For a runway intended for take-off with an operating minimum of an RVR of the order of 400 m or higher, when are runway centre line lights required?

Runway centre line lights should be provided on such a runway when it is used by aeroplanes with a very high take-off speed and the width between the runway edge lights is greater than 50 m.
