 The most important agreement allows us to request the opening of **part** of TAY CTA and **part** of the northern section of the Scottish TMA for gliding at weekends. Note, this is **only** possible at weekends. The most important agreement allows us to request the opening of **part** of TAY CTA and **part** of the northern section of the Scottish TMA for gliding at weekends.

 If the TAY CTA area is open you do not need a transponder to climb above FL100 within the TAY CTA LoA area. Outside of this area (and the waveboxes) you can only operate above FL100 if you have a transponder (Mode S or C) or if the FL100 NOTAM is active. It is quite likely to be active but you must check before climbing through FL100 or leaving the TAY CTA Gliding Area laterally above FL100. If the TAY CTA area is open you do not need a transponder to climb above FL100 within the TAY CTA LoA area.

-A third agreement allows gliders to cross TAY CTA via predefined corridors. These corridors are shown on the LoA schematic (refer SGC website), but the procedure needs to be studied in detail prior to use. It has been agreed with Prestwick ACC that the sectors are still classified alphabetically. The agreement on applies only to those who have read and telephone activated the procedure before launching. **Do not** invoke the procedure unless you know what you are doing.+A third agreement allows gliders to cross TAY CTA via predefined corridors.

 A fourth agreement allows gliders to penetrate the class D airspace to the West of the Edinburgh control zone. The procedure is complex and may only be used by pilots who have studied the LoA thoroughly and understand all the conditions. These include contacting the Edinburgh ATC Watch Manager by telephone to discuss details of the proposed flight, and the keeping of records of usage. No pilot should use this procedure without prior consultation with the CFI. A fourth agreement allows gliders to penetrate the class D airspace to the West of the Edinburgh control zone.
