ADR-DSN.L.540 Aiming point marking
ED Decision 2014/013/R
(a) Applicability:
(1) An aiming point marking should be provided at each approach end of an instrument runway where the code number is 2, 3, or 4.
(2) An aiming point marking should be provided when additional conspicuity of the aiming point is required at each approach end of:
(i) a non-instrument runway where the code number is 3 or 4,
(ii) an instrument runway where the code number is 1.
(b) Characteristics. The aiming point marking should commence no closer to the threshold than the distance indicated in the appropriate column of Table L-1, except that, on a runway equipped with a PAPI system, the beginning of the marking should be coincident with the visual approach slope origin.

a Where a PAPI system is provided for the runway, the
beginning of the marking should be coincident with the visual approach slope
origin. b Where greater dimensions of the
specified ranges are intended to be used where increased conspicuity is
required. c Where lateral spacing may be
varied within these limits to minimise the contamination of the marking by
rubber deposits. d These figures were deduced by
reference to the outer main gear wheel span which is element 2 of the
aerodrome reference code |

Table
L-1. Location and dimensions of aiming point marking
(c) An aiming point marking should consist of two conspicuous stripes. The dimensions of the stripes and the lateral spacing between their inner sides should be in accordance with the provisions of the appropriate column of Table L-1.
