Use of aerodromes by aeroplanes
• 121.71 Use of aerodromes
• (a) A holder of an air operator certificate must ensure that an aeroplane performing an air
operation under the authority of the holder’s certificate does not use an aerodrome for landing or
take-off unless—
•
• (1) the aerodrome has physical characteristics, obstacle limitation surfaces, and visual aids that
meet the requirements of—
• (i) the characteristics of the aeroplane being used; and
• (ii) the lowest meteorological minima to be used; and
• (2) if the operation is a regular air transport service operating to, from, or outside of New Zealand
after 12 July 2007—
• (i) each runway at an aerodrome within New Zealand that is used for the operation has a RESA at
each end of the runway in accordance with the requirements of Part 139 Appendix A.1; or
• (ii) if the runway does not have a RESA as required in paragraph (a)(2)(i), the certificate holder must
ensure that for operations conducted after 12 October 2011 the takeoff and landing performance
calculations for the aeroplane are based on a reduction of the appropriate declared distances for
the runway to provide the equivalent of a 90m RESA at the overrun end of the runway strip; and
• (iii) each runway at an aerodrome outside of New Zealand that is used for the operation has a RESA
that extends to at least 150m from the overrun end of the runway, or an engineered equivalent
that is acceptable to the Director; or
• (iv) if the runway does not have a RESA or an engineered equivalent as required in paragraph
(a)(2)(iii), the certificate holder must ensure that the take-off and landing performance calculations
for the aeroplane are based on a reduction of the appropriate declared distances for the runway to
provide the equivalent of the RESA required in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) at the overrun end of the
runway.
