Airspace and Procedures
Old Sarum airfield Aerodrome Traffic Zone (ATZ) sits within the nearby MoD Boscombe Down Military Aerodrome Traffic Zone (MATZ). When the MATZ is active, Old Sarum Airfield procedures dictate that all circuits are to the south with a crosswind departure and a base leg joins at circuit height. When the MATZ is inactive the circuits are changed to the north to reduce noise to the city of Salisbury.
During the times when the MATZ is inactive, Boscombe Down's ATZ is still active and pilots must take care when downwind on the northern circuits to avoid entering it.

Famous quotes containing the word procedures:
“Young children learn in a different manner from that of older children and adults, yet we can teach them many things if we adapt our materials and mode of instruction to their level of ability. But we miseducate young children when we assume that their learning abilities are comparable to those of older children and that they can be taught with materials and with the same instructional procedures appropriate to school-age children.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
