Anomalies in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2020

[sdbelgium]

The callsign suggests a training flight.

The callsign suggests a training flight.

Maybe a flight for the pilots to have enough flying hours to keep their licence valid...?

[sdbelgium]

Airline pilots don’t need hours to keep their licence valid, as PPL pilots do. They do need landings in the aircraft (or sim) though: the so-called 3-in-90 rule. At least three landings in the last running 90 days.

[sdbelgium]

It was indeed a test flight to renew currency for the pilots, and it stirred up quite some commotion in the area:

Drukke ochtend in luchtruim boven Zaventem: TUI-piloten moeten vliegdiploma vernieuwen na lange periode met weinig vluchten (Dutch)
Ombudsdienst Zaventem ontvangt 82 klachten op één dag na testvluchten TUI: “Is dit wel verantwoord boven dichtbevolkt gebied?”
(Dutch)

This is what we call in Dutch: een scheet in een fles. These people should get a life.

Apparently it's not DHL week! A B757 has just returned to the stand.

[Passenger]

a Magma 747-400-F from Hahn (HHN, D) to Greenville-Spartanburg (GSP, USA) went into a holding west of Brest (FR), and then diverted to LGG Liège.

Flightradar reports that it was TF-AMC (see above), but Airfleets seems to contradict that:

TF-AMI flew Hahn-Bordeaux this morning:

USAF C-40C reg.02-0203 from Bahrein went around from approach to 25R EBBR/MB and is since +/- 19:10LT in a holding over ANT (Antwerp VOR)

In final again, reason for go around where flap problems.
Landing with partial flaps now

[Samuel Zerilli]

Good evening to all,

Like yesterday the 767 of TUI is obliged to make holdings and from attempts of landing to bru. Yeasterday flaps problems and tonight also !

[TLspotting]

Just now, VS520 (G-VRNB) just interrupted its take off from BRU.

Just now, VS520 (VGNRB) just interruped its take off from BRU.

The aircraft is returning to it's stand at the moment.

[DIBO]

G-VRNB departed again around 19:30

[Jeremy De Winter]

ATG5504 (ER-BBC) took off at around 13h15 but after takeoff he didn't retract his gear. Don't know what happend afterwards cause it dissapeard in the clouds. It isn't returning so no big problem.

Since she is flying at FL330, she could probably retract the gear. I remember having flown on a Sobelair B767 between Oaxaca (Mexico) and Cancun (Mexico). She also could not retract the gear, but flew at a much lower altitude (and of course slower speed due to air drag).

CKS922 needed some extra time to configure or perhaps they had potentially come too close to the preceding B734 G-POWP?
