SURFACE MOVEMENT GUIDANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM AND MARKINGS
1Use of aircraft stand ID signs, TWY guidelines and visual docking/parking guidance system of aircraft standsTaxiing guidance signs at all intersections with TWY and RWY at all holding positions. Guidelines at apron. Nose-in guidance at aircraft stands.
2RWY and TWY markings and LGT

RWY LGT:
refer to page WSSL AD 2-5 for details.
RWY Turn Pad LGT / Markings: Only AVBL at THR RWY 03.

TWY Edge LGT: Blue LGT, inset, elevated and omni-directional.
TWY Centreline LGT: Green LGT, fixed.
Intermediate Holding Position LGT: Yellow LGT, fixed, unidirectional.
TWY markings: Yellow TWY centreline.

The fixed green taxiway centreline lights and fixed unidirectional yellow intermediate holding position lights shall be switched on between sunset and sunrise or during periods of poor visibility. ATC will continue to verbalise the taxi route as per current practice. Pilots shall continue to adhere strictly to the taxi clearances issued by ATC at all times.

In the event that the fixed green taxiway centreline lights and fixed unidirectional yellow intermediate holding position lights become unserviceable, pilots shall taxi following the single continuous yellow taxiway centreline markings and intermediate holding position markings (single broken line laid across the entire width of the taxiway) as per mode of operations during VMC daylight hours.

MARKING AIDS:
Threshold, touchdown zone, centreline stripes and RWY designation.
RWY width outline from bituminous concrete surface by white lines.

AIMING POINT MARKINGS:
RWY 03: coincident with PAPI origin located 423.542m from THR respectively.

3  WRONG APPROACHES AND LANDINGS OF AIRCRAFT BOUND FOR SELETAR AERODROME AND SEMBAWANG MILITARY AERODROME
3.1  INTRODUCTION
3.1.1 The attention of all pilots is drawn to the existence of RSAF Sembawang Aerodrome, 3NM to the west of Seletar Aerodrome. The runway at Sembawang is orientated in almost the same direction as the runway at Seletar Aerodrome i.e. 03/21 for Seletar Aerodrome and 05/23 for Sembawang. Due to the close proximity of these two runways, pilots are cautioned against mistaking Sembawang Aerodrome for Seletar Aerodrome and thus making an inadvertent visual landing or approach to land at Sembawang.
3.1.2 Erroneous approaches or landings usually occurred in marginal weather conditions. In almost every instance, the prevailing weather at the time of the incident contributed towards a hasty and erroneous identification of the correct aerodrome.
3.1.3 There is intensive local flying at both aerodromes during the day and night. As pilot training is the major activity at both aerodromes, the risk of collision is very great if a wrong approach or landing is made at either of the two aerodromes.
3.2  POINTS TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN APPROACHING SELETAR AD OR SEMBAWANG AD
3.2.1 The following points are highlighted to serve as a guide to assist pilots in identifying Seletar AD or Sembawang AD and should be remembered and followed:
  1. The runways at Seletar and Sembawang are almost identically aligned. Extra vigilance, therefore, is required when approaching either aerodrome, or when commencing an approach to land.
  2. Make full use of available navigational and landing aids, and positively identify each aid used.
  3. Adhere strictly to the joining instructions issued by ATC.
  4. To keep clear of Sembawang ATZ while approaching Seletar AD for landing and vice versa.
3.2.2 Pilots are required to take note of the proximity of Sembawang ATZ, Paya Lebar CTR and all Prohibited/ Restricted/Danger Areas (e.g. WSR38 and WSD4). All arriving and departing aircraft will have to keep clear of these areas.
