About the noise issue, André Clodong says that the best solution would be to ask the experts of Eurocontrol, who have the tools to decide on the best routes in an independent way, without political interference.

Re: Abnormalities in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2017
I'm not aware of what happened on that particular day but it is one of the action groups that uses 'incidents' to get their way. They don't want rwy 01 used as an arrival runway so they inflate everything they can into an 'incident'. The action group uses every go around on rwy 01 to 'prove' that us...

Re: The one and only topic on which runway in use @EBBR
The arrival procedure for 07L is an offset VOR/DME, with a last visual part. This is not available after sunset (07L has no approach lights). There was a RNAV procedure published during the works on RWY 01/19 but it was withdrawn when the works were finished. This RNAV approach is a lot safer but ar...

Re: Brussels region noise regulation
@ crosswind @EBBU : using two runways for T/O and LDG is anything but a problem. It is indeed possible to use both runways for integrated ops but from a purely Safety management viewpoint the inherent risks when using integrated ops is higher than when you use segregated ops. My point is, how far wi...

Re: Brussels region noise regulation
'Safety first' is always the primary concern in aviation. And this is indeed true for operational people because they are the ones on the front line and so the ones that are confronted with the results of their actions. But for other actors in this debate Safety is not that important. They just want...

Re: Brussels region noise regulation
Noordrand = Relegem (Asse), Wemmel, Hamme (Merchtem), Meise, Strombeek-Bever, Grimbergen en Beigem,38.565 over Noordrand (to make it easy: towards Tervuren)
Koningslo en Het Voor (Vilvoorde)
So not 'towards Tervuren' and not a part of Brussels Capital Region but a part of Flanders.

Re: The one and only topic on which runway in use @EBBR
After sunset the possible approaches for RWY 07L are visual or SRA (the PRNAV procedure used during the works on RWY 01 was revoked when the works ended). This means vectoring for a visual on 07L is possible but experience has shown that pilots prefer (and request) the straight in VOR/DME procedure ...

These also use class G airspace and move at a higher speed than the more common private plane. These military jets are in contact w...

Re: Nieuwe verkeersleiders BelgoControl
De ATCOs op de FIC waren tot een aantal jaren terug altijd ACC ATCOs. Nu is er een mix van ACC controlleurs en specifiek opgeleide FISOs (Flight Information Service Officers). Het verhaaltje dat ATCOs die een 'fout' zouden gemaakt hebben op 'strafkamp' naar de FIC gestuurd worden is niet meer dan da...

Re: Belgocontrol ATC strikes 2016
It would appear that having a certain profession excludes people from the possibility of being sick. I really wonder why all the anger is directed at ATCOs who might very well be really sick? It is a fact that a realistic HR policy is capable of mitigating the consequences of sick employees. That th...

Re: CRL will be closed Wed. 20/04/2016 morning
Basic HR fact.... If you try to do a job that requires 10 people with only 9 employees it will work for a while but you have to realise you are eating away at your manpower base. If you overextend a tool it will break in the end. (And yes, any employee is a tool to management) One day you will find ...

I don't want to elaborate on the events of that day but I will say this : Everything that happened was 'impossible'. When CANAC 2 was put online, it was made clear to ATCO's and technicians alike that the redundancies in the system were more than adequate to avoid a catastrophic failure. But when th...
