Operational notes
AD use subject to limitation refer to AD 2.20 item 1 and to AD 2.21. Oxygen and related servicing limited, by arrangement with local companies. All operators, including Executive and Private General Aviation, must make prior arrangements with a handling agent for ground handling of all flights. Due to limited parking space all aircraft are PPR with their handling agent. GA handling facilities are provided by: Signature Flight Support: Tel: 0131-317 7447 or 03300-271262 SITA: EDIECXH AFTN: EGPHXHAE Aircraft Ground Movement/Parking/Docking Chart. Arriving and departing crew whom are unfamiliar with EGPH should notify ATC prior to taxiing. Apart from the GA Apron, nose-in parking in operation on all aprons. All nose-in stands have stand number, yellow centre-line and Stand Entry Guidance System. Stand Entry Guidance is provided by AGNIS/Stop Arrow (painted on the apron) or Safedock Docking Guidance System. Flight crew should be familiar with the guidance available and have an understanding on how they operate. Marshalling service is provided for the GA Apron and Stands 21, 23, 28, 99, 101, 308, 309, 310, 310L, 310R, 311, 311L, 311R, 312, 312L, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317 and 317A. Stopbars at runway entrance points are in operation H24. Aircrew are to note that the Stand Entry Guidance (SEG) on all SEG equipped stands is activated by an apron level timer device, operated by airline/handling agent staff. Pilots should not turn off the taxilane centre-line unless the Stand Entry Guidance is illuminated with aircraft type, or a marshaller has signalled clearance to proceed. Pilots should note that failure to adhere to this instruction may lead to a negative "On Time Performance" figure. On stand taxi speed should not exceed 5 KT. All operators must ensure that their engineering staff and/or handling agents have suitable, serviceable equipment on station to push and/or tow aircraft which they might operate. Obstacle markings and snow edge markings are provided where necessary. Three WDIs serve Runway 06/24: 555650.75N 0032221.86W (LGTD) - 555634.84N 0032306.76W (LGTD) - 555710.67N 0032120.95W (LGTD). If an aircraft has been repositioned to face out on any stand, it must be either repositioned to nose-in on stand or towed out to the taxiway centre-line before starting engines. Flight crews should be aware that chart providers may not highlight taxilanes on their published aerodrome chart and taxiways on their published parking/docking chart. When transiting to/from the allocated parking position, aircraft will transit both taxiways and taxilanes. Apron floodlighting for all apron areas. Obstacle lighting. Aircraft parked on the GA Apron may start engines and taxi from a nose out position. Flight and ground crew must ensure that roadways etc are protected against any jet blast/prop wash.

Briefing snapshot
EGPH looks workable for a local VFR departure on the latest picture: surface wind is light, visibility is good, and no runway closure is highlighted in this snapshot. The main briefing item is the lighting serviceability notice, so plan a daylight arrival or confirm PAPI availability before committing. Cross-check the current METAR, TAF, and full NOTAM list before departure.
