TECHNICAL STANDARDS
Procedures pertaining to and the technical standards applying to the aerodrome lighting
at MANJIMUP aerodrome are in accordance With the requirements of Chapter 9 in
Rules and practices for aerodromes & Manual of Standards 139, Chapter 9 (MOS 139).
The Airport Reporting Officer or Deputy Airport Reporting Officer will check the
serviceability of the runway lighting during the routine weekly runway inspection. This
checklist forms part of the serviceability inspection checklist.
The Shire's electrical contractors are responsible for performing these inspections and
carrying out corrective maintenance.
Maintenance and inspection schedules and subsequent reports are kept at the Manager
Technical Service’s office.
B. Aerodrome electricians
Phone numbers for the above are on Page One of this manual.
Runway edge lighting on 12/30 runway is fed from the town SEC power supply. Stand
by power is available.
Taxiway edge lighting is energised automatically when the runway light is selected, as
they share common primary feeder cables.
The schedule is for the regular maintenance of all the electrical plant and equipment at
MANJIMUP aerodrome.
This includes runway and Taxiway lighting, terminal floodlighting and power supply.
Specifically, the electrical staff shall carry out the following activities:
Routine serviceability inspections of the runway lights are recorded in the Routine
serviceability inspection check sheet.
The following performance inspection schedules are a direct copy from the Airport
lighting Maintenance Manual – February 1978.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY
The following technical inspection schedules are a direct copy from the Airport Lighting
Maintenance Manual - February 1978. Non-applicable sections have been deleted.
1. INSPECTION FREQUENCY
NOTE: Base castings should not be opened unless the gasket has obviously
deteriorated and/or the presence of water is suspected. If opened, check also the
silica-gel dessicator.
5. UNDERGROUND CABLES
8. MAINTENANCE OVERHAULS
The aim of these procedures is to advise the regular users and any RPT operators of any
changes in the physical condition of the airport and of new obstacles that may affect the
safety of aircraft operations. If the identified fault can’t be remedied before the next aircraft
operations, then the matter must be reported to the NOTAM office.
2.2 Responsibilities
The Airport Reporting Officer has overall responsibility for ensuring that procedures are
established and resources provided to report changes to aerodrome physical
characteristics, the OLS, or any other change that may affect the safety of aircraft
operations.
The Airside Reporting Officer is responsible for documenting reporting procedures and
for advising AIS of permanent changes to airport information and for implementing the
reporting procedures documented in this manual.
All NOTAM action is recorded in the NOTAM Logbook (Refer to Appendix I) that is
maintained by the Airport Reporting Officer. This logbook will be made available on
request by authorized CAA officers for audit (For NOTAM Abbreviations Refer to
Appendix J).
NOTAM are used to advise pilots and other persons concerned with flying operations
about matters of an urgent nature that may affect the safety of aircraft operations. In
relation to an airport this includes temporary changes in published information,
unserviceability’s, or newly detected obstacles.
NOTAM will be originated in the standard NOTAM format for any of the following
circumstances;
Reporting Officers raising a NOTAM must subsequently check the issued NOTAM for
accuracy. Normally this is done when the NOF fax or email back a copy of the issued
NOTAM as per the request on the standard NOTAM form. If the NOF fail to do this,
current NOTAM information may be obtained through the ATC system.
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Security measures are adopted in accordance With CASA MOS 139, chapter 10 Section
10.9.
Access to the aerodrome is controlled and monitored by the Airport Reporting Officer.
3.2 RESTRICTIONS
The airside areas at MANJIMUP aerodrome are enclosed by fencing, natural barriers and
gates which prevent unauthorised access to those areas.
Drivers of itinerant vehicles are required to obtain permission to enter airside from the
Airport Reporting Officer.
Such vehicles are restricted to apron and light aircraft parking areas.
For others, access will be under the direction of the Airport Reporting Officer.
In order to provide for aerodrome safety the Shire of Manjimup has adopted a Manjimup
Airfield – Airside Access Policy which details and conditions authorised access to the
airside area of the Manjimup Aerodrome. The existing Manjimup Airfield – Airside Access
Policy 10.4.1 being reassigned to the Technical Services area from Works as the
Manjimup Airfield – Airside Access Policy 9.1.18 which is included in the Aerodrome
Manual on the next pages. The, revised, Airside Access Policy was endorsed by both the
Council and Aerodrome Management Committee in July 2018 and reviewed every 4
years.
1. Objectives
The objective is to ensure that priority is given to Aircraft runways, aprons and taxiways by
providing aerodrome facilities and maintaining aerodrome environments that are safe for aircraft
operations. This is achieved by pro-active safety management and complying with civil aviation
prescribed standards and procedures.
2. Definitions
“Airside” means ‘The movement of area of an aerodrome, adjacent terrain and buildings or
portions thereof, access of which is controlled
3. Legislative Context
This Policy is made pursuant to Manual of Standard Part 139 of Civil Aviation Safety Authority
(CASA) Rules and Practices for Aerodromes (RPA) and Civil Aviation Rules (CAR) 89, which
empowers Council to make, amend and revoke Policies.
4. Area of Application
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority’s Manual of Standards Part 139 – Aerodromes defines
‘Airside’ as ‘the movement area of an aerodrome, adjacent terrain and buildings or
portions thereof, access of which is controlled’.
‘Airside’ is therefore the area designated by fences, barriers or signs to where the general public
may have controlled access only. In the case of the Manjimup aerodrome the perimeter fence
marks this boundary.
5. Superseded Policy

to be followed in the event of an accident or certain incidents.
Airport staff will co-operate with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (A.T.S.B.) during
its investigation of accidents or incidents. A.T.S.B. conducts investigations to help reduce
accidents and identify causes, with a view to improving air safety.
A.T.S.B. must be notified immediately of accidents or incidents which occur within the
aerodrome operator's area of jurisdiction.
The A.T.S.B. contact telephone number for the duty officer is (08) 6253 2959 or
1800 011 034. This number will be answered 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.
7.1 INTRODUCTION
The aerodrome operator does not marshal aircraft parking at the MANJIMUP aerodrome;
however he retains the right to intervene in apron management under certain
circumstances. These include conflict of interest between operators, allocation of aircraft
parking for safety reasons, etc.
Parking for itinerant aircraft is provided in the form of a designated light aircraft parking
area.
The Airport Reporting Officer will allocate parking in accordance with the above and the
apron markings plan.
Aerodrome maintenance staffs are to generally monitor vehicle activity airside and
landside during the course of their normal duties and, if necessary, report any abnormal
occurrences to the State Police.
Perimeter gates and public area security gates are always to be kept closed.
A. No vehicles are permitted airside unless authorised by the Airport Reporting Officer.
Such vehicles are restricted to the apron and light aircraft parking areas for the
purposes of loading, unloading or servicing aircraft. MANJIMUP aerodrome staff
involved in aerodrome operations and aerodrome maintenance may gain access to the
entire movement area.
E. The Shire reserves the right to withdraw the authority for any vehicle to operate on the
airside if it has been seen to be disruptive or hazardous.
F. Vehicles and ground equipment operated on the airside areas are to be in a roadworthy
condition and also be maintained in a sound mechanical condition so as to prevent
avoidable breakdowns, spillage of fuels, lubricants and hydraulic oils. The Shire
reserves the right to inspect vehicles operating within airside areas to ensure their
compliance with the above requirements, and to prohibit operations airside in cases of
non- compliance.
Hold a current State or Territory licence to drive the class of vehicle or vehicles to
be operated, where one exists, or the nearest equivalent where a specific class does
not exist.
Understand the terminology used to describe the areas on the airside or the
aerodrome and be familiar with their location.
I. Vehicles are not to be driven under an aircraft or within 3m of any part of an aircraft,
except when required for the servicing of aircraft.
J. Vehicles are to be kept at least 110m clear of any aircraft operating either red rotating
beacons or strobe lights, as this indicates that the aircraft's engines are running or
about to be started, that the aircraft is currently or about to be under tow, or that the
aircraft is or about to be taxiing.
L. The Shire posts the following speed limits of vehicles on the movement area:
10 km/hr within 15m of an aircraft 20 km/hr elsewhere
M. Certain CASA officers have access to airside under CAR 305 (a). The Airport Reporting
Officer reserves the right to ask the officer for identification.
The Airport Reporting Officer will ensure the applicant has read and understood the above
and meets the requirements of Clause 7.
9.1 INTRODUCTION
Bird management is conducted by the Airport Reporting Officer in accordance with the
provisions of MOS 139 Chapter 10 Section 2.7.
The Airport Reporting Officer is responsible for liaison and co-ordination with the CASA.
Bird hazard inspection and monitoring is carried out by monitoring birds as part of the
daily aerodrome serviceability inspections. The inspecting officer will base the
assessment on previous experience and common sense.
Bird dispersal and harassment activities are conducted in accordance with the procedures
laid down in this section. Dispersal and harassment will be carried out both during and
after business hours by the Airport Reporting Officer.
Bird dispersal and harassment is recorded in the Bird and Animal Hazard Management
Inspection Sheet, together With information regarding ammunition used.
Records of bird and animal hazards are noted in the daily serviceability log book, which
is held by the Airport Reporting Officer in his office. The log book is available during
normal office hours.
The key to effective control is systematic monitoring and reporting of the situation,
together with harassment and environmental control.
Birds and animals which are considered to be a safety hazard to aircraft will be removed
by culling, trapping or other means.
10.1 INTRODUCTION
Procedures to regulate building and other structure heights in the vicinity of the
aerodrome are performed in accordance with MOS 139 Chapter 7.
10.2 PROCEDURE
Requests for erection of new structures which may affect the OLSs associated with
existing or proposed aerodrome facilities are to be directed to the Airport Reporting
Officer, who will approve a maximum top R.L. for the structure. This is determined by
reference to the OLS and by applying principles detailed in the MOS 139 Chapter 7.
The CASA may specify lighting/marking requirements as necessary, and will advise the
Airport Reporting Officer on consequences associated with the approval of structures
which will penetrate the OLSs associated with the aerodrome.
Under CAR 89X the responsible officers will notify the authority immediately if he/she
discovers an obstacle, and will give the authority details of that obstacle.
The responsible officer will take all reasonable measures to detect the obstacles as
quickly as possible. The obstacle limitation surfaces will be visually scanned on a daily
basis as part of the normal serviceability inspections.
Under CAR 89Y, the Shire will ensure that all possible measures are taken to ensure that
persons who propose to erect a building or structure, the top of which will be 110m or
more above ground level, must inform the authority of that intention and the proposed
height and location of the building or structure.
Arrangements for the removal of the disabled aircraft are to be approved by the Airport
Reporting Officer.
If the owner cannot be contacted, the Airport Reporting Officer will authorise the removal
of the aircraft if it is in some way infringing operations. A.T.S.B. will be advised of this
action in advance.
A responsible officer will seek the assistance of the CASA regarding the removal of a
disabled aircraft. Under Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) 293, in the opinion of the CASA
if it is necessary, in the interests of safety or to expedite or maintain the orderly flow of air
traffic, to remove an aircraft from any part of the aerodrome, or to move an aircraft from
one part of the movement area of the aerodrome to another, the CASA may authorise a
person with such assistance as is required to remove or move the aircraft, and the officer
shall remove or move the aircraft accordingly.
Under the same regulation the CASA, or the person who assists in the removal of the
aircraft under CAR 293, shall not be liable for any damage which occurs to the aircraft by
reasons of this removal in pursuance of the authorisation given under the regulation.
The Airport Reporting Officer can obtain earthmoving type equipment and cranes from
the Shire.
Refer to Aircraft Accidents and Incidents in this manual for A.T.S.B. liaison arrangements.
The fuel storage areas are maintained by the fuel companies to the relevant Australian
Standards. See the aerodrome plan (Air Transport Emergencies Plan, Appendix B Page
28 in this manual) for their location.
The most relevant Australian Standard is AS 1940; 2004 Storage and Handling of
Flammable and Combustible Liquids.
If the fuel is found to be stored in non-licensed areas (under AS 1940), then AS 1940
should be consulted for compliance
Fuels are then dispensed to aircraft in accordance with fuel company procedures and
CAO 29.9.
