(2) If there is a landing T,
(a) it shall be used to indicate the compulsory direction for landing and taking off, even should such direction not correspond to the direction of the wind;
(b) normally it shall be placed so that the shaft of the T lies along the direction of the wind with the cross arm set at that end of the shaft from which the wind is blowing;
(c) if there is either no wind or a slight irregular wind, the T shall be fixed in the direction in which landing or departure is to be made and the fact that it is fixed shall be indicated by the presence of a ball, mounted on a mast in the signal area and clearly visible both to aircraft in flight and to aircraft manoeuvring on the landing area.
(3) When, by way of exception, the landing area at any aero- drome is regarded as divided into two approximately equal zones, one for departures and the other for landings, as provided for in paragraph 45 of this Schedule, this exceptional arrangement shall be indicated by a full star of five points, as illustrated below, of such a size that lines joining the successive points of the star would form a regular pentagon which could be inscribed in a circle the diameter of which is not less than 50 feet.
