§ Mr. Anthony GrantDuring the course of the Investigation steps were taken to introduce a special precautionary height check into the approach procedure for landing at Northolt, and attention was drawn to this and to the importance of observing the rules already in force there in a Notice to Airmen published in March, 1970.
