-==== - VFR flight above FL100 ====
+==== 6.2.10 VFR flight above FL100 ====
 GA aircraft and gliders operating VFR above FL100 are required to have and operate a transponder (Mode C or S). In Scotland the SGA has negotiated an exemption from this requirement for gliders only to enable wave flying above FL100 in Class G airspace, ref. [[https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapplication.aspx?catid=1&pagetype=65&appid=11&mode=detail&id=10324|CAA Official Record Series 4 No. 1483]], valid until 20 January 2022. This exemption has, to date, been renewed as required. The exemption is activated on a day-by-day basis via a NOTAM initiated by nominated individuals in the various Scottish clubs – to date this has been a relatively routine exercise. Unless this NOTAM is issued and activated, gliders should not climb above FL100 unless operating a transponder in mode C or S.
-==== - Airway P18 ====
+==== 6.2.11 Airway P18 ====
 At the far eastern end of Strathmore, airway P18 makes landfall between Stonehaven and Montrose just prior to joining the Aberdeen CTA. Pilots using the Fordoun turnpoint, typically during NW wave flights, should take care due to its proximity to P18 and the CTA.
-==== - Special Agreements (LoAs) ====
+==== 6.2.12 Special Agreements (LoAs) ====
 The four key Letters of Agreement (LoAs) for Portmoak are:
   - TAY CTA Gliding Area (the area in the Scottish TMA and TAY CTA airway)
   - LoA TRA(G) including the Portmoak Area (the wave box on top of the TAY CTA Gliding Area) and the Scottish wave boxes
   - TAY CTA Airway Crossing procedures
   - Crossing Edinburgh Class D airspace
-The various [[https://members.gliding.co.uk/library/loas/|LoAs]] are found on the BGA website; hard copies should be in the clubroom. A summary is attached in  [[E. Letters of Agreement]] – this is an overview and not a substitute for reading the individual LoAs.

+===== 6.3 Summary =====
 Our airspace is relatively unrestricted, but fairly complex. Making sure that all pilots understand and observe the rules is essential if we are to at least maintain our present level of freedom.
