# CS ADR-DSN.L.585 VOR aerodrome checkpoint marking

Certification Specifications and Guidance Material for Aerodrome Design (CS-ADR-DSN) — Issue 7 · Regulation (EU) No 139/2014 · EAR revision 13 Mar 2026

IR Implementing rule

## CS ADR-DSN.L.585 VOR aerodrome checkpoint marking

(a) Applicability: When a VOR [aerodrome](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aerodrome) check-point is established, it should be indicated by a VOR aerodrome check-point [marking](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/marking) and [sign](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/sign).

(b) Location: A VOR aerodrome check-point marking should be centred on the spot at which an [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) is to be parked to receive the correct VOR signal.

(c) Characteristics:

(1) A VOR aerodrome check-point marking should consist of a circle 6 m in diameter and have a line width of 15 cm (see Figure L-8(A)).

(2) When it is preferable for an aircraft to be aligned in a specific direction, a line should be provided that passes through the centre of the circle on the desired azimuth. The line should extend 6 m outside the circle in the desired direction of heading and terminate in an arrowhead. The width of the line should be 15 cm (see Figure L-8(B)).

(3) A VOR aerodrome check-point marking should differ from the colour used for the [taxiway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/taxiway) markings and when applicable from a contrasting viewpoint, be white in colour.
