London City has the unique Steep Approach, initially (with Dash 7s) at 7.5 degrees, later reduced to 5.5. Training flights are generally not permitted there.

An equivalent glideslope and runway markings were set up at Gloucester/Staverton, and the LCY operators used that for training. Specially angled PAPIs were switched on when doing this.
