g Aircraft involved in practice holding and instrument procedures must have a serviceable transponder.
h A booking slot system is now in operation for aircraft using this airport for training. Slots must be booked by application to ATC,
Tel: 0113-3913282. Operators may normally book a maximum of two slots in any one day. Further slots on the same day may only
be booked, if available, up to a maximum of one hour prior to the slot in question.
The filing of a flight plan does not constitute a booking to carry out instrument training. Failing to make a booking may result in aircraft being
refused use of the facilities. Any changes to training requirements must be notified to ATC, in particular when slots are no longer required.
