This adran has no associated Memorandwm Esboniadol

62.—(1) This article applies to all aircraft registered in the Territory.

(2) An operator shall ensure that, if areas of the fuselage suitable for break-in by rescue crews in emergency are marked on aircraft to which this article applies, such areas shall be marked upon the exterior surface of the fuselage with markings to show the areas (in this paragraph referred to as “break-in areas”) which can, for purposes of rescue in an emergency, be most readily and effectively broken into by persons outside the aircraft.

(3) The break-in areas shall be marked by right-angled corner markings, each arm of which shall be 9 cm in length along its outer edge and 3 cm in width and if the corner markings are more than 2 metres apart, intermediate lines 9 cm x 3 cm shall be inserted so that there is no more than 2 metres between adjacent marks.

(4) The colour of the break-in markings shall be red or yellow, and if necessary they shall be outlined in white to contrast with the background.

(5) If instructions are marked on the break-in areas, the words “Cut Here in Emergency” shall be marked across the centre of each break-in area in capital letters.

(6) The markings required by this article shall—

(a)be painted, or affixed by other equally permanent means; and

(b)be kept at all times clean and unobscured.
