Re: holding patterns in belgian airspace

Lowest level depends on the holding navaid ( FLO - KERKY - BUN - ANT e.g. ): usually varies between FL80 and FL100. Vertical separation 1000 feet.

Re: RAM 747 at Brussels .... where?

As from what i heard the 744 is in technical, which is why they're sending multiple 738's and Atlas Blue aircraft. There must be someone able to confirm what's up with the 744 ?!

Yes, no doubt, HLN are experts at giving incomplete information... They prefer being the first to publish i.s.o. giving complete and correct information. How HLN is, and continues to be the most popular newspaper beats me sometimes :p

That's because both airlines operate flights for each other since their marriage ;) , flight could've been a Vueling flight number.

Re: BRU 03/07/2009

OO-JAP is named "Crystal" . Performed a take-off ( at about 1645LT i think ) with no gear retraction, flew towards the Belgian coast and toured overhead central Belgium and the coast for 3-4 hours, then made a missed approach on 25L at about 2110LT, and landed some 10 minutes later. Plane ...

Re: Hewa Bora at BRU

Hey guys,

How about someone posts a picture of the RAK airways aircraft here in EBBR ? This discussion is going nowhere ! Customers will decide in the end which is the best airline. Time will tell.

Re: Un 747 bien bas au-dessus de Bruxelles

On peut quand même faire deux remarques à ce propos : - il y a eu une erreur du contrôleur, qui a mal estimé la différence de vitesse entre le Cessna et le 747. - la piste 02 n'aurait plus dû être en service vu la direction du vent, mais, à BRU, il faut de 25 à 40 minutes pour mettre en place un ch...

Re: Un 747 bien bas au-dessus de Bruxelles

I was in my house and saw it happen: the Atlanta icelandic broke off the approach before passing the OM at about 1730LT, so he must still have been at +- 2000ft, and immediately started climbing before turning left to approximately heading 250. I swear to all Brussels airport haters: never was there...
