Aerodrome Diagram

• B2, A5, C2 - These holding points are the hot spots for holding point busts

• B2 – Luton asked for the B underneath B2 to be replaced with B2 to give a better understanding of where the holding point is

• Clutter – Luton asked for unnecessary arrows and Apron names to be removed as they don‟t use those names operationally

• Alpha – Luton has noticed that if you were to be told to taxi via „A‟ your eyes would naturally be drawn to the left of the airfield where there are 3 A signs on the chart

Summary

• „Taxi Holding Point B2‟ means stop short of

B2

• Pilots may be told to „Hold Short‟ of a specific

taxiway or link which is not routinely done at

Luton

• Therefore, if an aircraft were to stop past B2

but still remain on the Bravo Taxiway it would

still count as a holding point bust
