Don't understand they use 07R for landings. The noise impact is a lot less on 07L, I would expect. The VOR approach with an offset track, brings the acft more N of Brussels agglomeration, with the final approach passing over a nice park with very few inhabitants, a large industrial and train yard ar...

RNP in action, 2 RNAV approaches by Jetairfly today.

Both the Czech Republic & Hungary fly Gripen and are Nato members. It's plain stupid that nucl.bombs are still in Belgium, as the borders with Russian controlled territory have moved more than 700km to the east. We just have to evaluate what's more costly, loosing Nato HQ & Shape or buying F...

This F16 life extension announcement applies to post Block40 airframes, which are structurally different from our Block 10/15/20. If these figures are trustworthy, it's simple: - F35: that's simple, we can't afford - Rafale: costs less than the Gripen E, but bigger, 2 engines (so operational cost wi...

well... strangely enough, a lot of calibration flying was needed in July for the rwy11 RNP; don't know what they exactly did during these flights. Maybe checking that there were no mountains hiding the satellite signals maybe :-) But you're right, a lot cheaper than a full ILS and much easier to &qu...

What are the possible opportunities for this RNP procedure at EBBR? Different arrival procedures for 07L and 07R? Departure procedures for 25R that will reduce noise levels for the city of Brussels? As far as I know (and that's not very far :-) ), by the end of 2017 all 'Belgocontrolled' airfields ...

First Belgian RNP procedure operational at EBAW.

Rwy11 operational 10/12/2015
Rwy29 planned 2017
Planned operators: Flying Group (LPV - VNAV) - JAF (VNAV)

RNP operational: see also https://www.aviation24.be/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=57770

If I'm not mistaken, it will be the first time in many decades, that ANR will be open on Christmas and New Year's Day. However, it will be only for a couple of hours, I guess just to cater for the JAF flights. (and I sincerely hope Christmas Day's winds will not get any stronger than today's full cr...

didn't know it either, but found this explanation, so Flarm users sometimes use their device-ID which starts with a hex D (so totally not linked with ICAO logic)

In fact, it is one and the same airplane you see. This is a common occurrence around mixed traffic parachuting/glider airfields. The tracking info is fed to FR24 by two completely different technologies, which do not correlate correctly. On the third screenshot you see the standard Mode-S ADS-B base...

Mind you, this concerns post Block40 airframes, which probably differ considerably from Belgium's A/B variants. These were already structurally upgraded to be able to meet the 8,000-hour airframe lifespan, in the first place. So, not sure that this possible lifespan extension will be applicable to o...

It even went right into EBOS TMA at FL80, about 25nm west of EBOS. Although they probably were totally not (actively) involved, with the a/c squawking 7700, EBOS ATC must have had a moment of excitement on an otherwise dull rainy Sunday afternoon... And for the Avro, 89 economy pax would work, but g...

(For the people of the region...as the saying goes: "All roads lead to Rome, all traffic jams lead to Mortsel")

The problem was not the diversion itself, but the low altitude. :shock: Well, I beg to differ...a lot: 'problem' there was no problem at all (only some logistics getting pax to BRU and back). Low altitude: no different from std. approaches and departures. After the first go-around, 2000ft is the st...

I think this must be a first. But it won't be the last diversion, only moderate bad weather la...

It's clear that this is politically inspired and orchestrated by certain extremist politicians, one of them a former mayor of Mortsel whom created the permanent traffic jam in the whole city centre. On the other hand, the aviation community at EBAW can and should put a lot more effort in noise abate...
