Cheers,

You're thinking of stand 240 (B40). Stand 233 (B33) is the next to last one on the south side.

From a pilot's point of view, I can agree. But not from a controller's point of view: that sentence allows us to send departures over Brussels. If it wasn't there, we couldn't...

Quite a rare procedure this afternoon:

Right of way does exists as well in a controlled environment, if no instruction has been given.

Best not to rely on that as a controller though...

Re: Continuous Descent Operations at Brussels Airport (pics)

Everybody seems to forget the safety. It is a lot safer since every level off requires altitude to be set and confirmed, and mistakes here still happen daily around the world. Don't forget that mode S allows us to see on the radarscreen which level has been selected in the autopilot. So wrong readb...

Re: Are noise complainers "fussy" ?

If you mean, to line-up via W41, that wouldn't solve the problem (on the contrary even, a line-up from W41 takes more time and is longer on 25R than one from B1). Maybe if they built a new entry taxiway which maximises the TORA (take-off run available) while at the same time remaining at a safe dist...

Re: Are noise complainers "fussy" ?

I think these would be acceptable levels and because the best runway is always used, also the safest. One issue: is it possible to land on 25R and take-off on 19 without loosing capacity? Cheers, Stij Hi Stij, Unfortunately, you would loose capacity using 25R/19. The problem is that arrivals on 25R...
