Notes from the Tower

1. These procedures must be followed even during landing practices.

2. The Heat will complete the run-up holding short of 29L/11R on taxiway Echo or Juliet. The lead aircraft must ensure that he has positioned his lead aircraft in a way that will allow the entire flight to fit in the run-up area. After completing the run-up and the lead aircraft receives a thumbs-up from the flight, the lead aircraft will contact ground. “Metro Ground NIFA Heat ONE and Flight run-up complete.”
