Small information: according to the batc site, maintenance work on runway 25L is scheduled today between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.! The runway for landings would be the 25L AND the 19. Takeoff in 19 ! Samuel, I think that these works have been cancelled cause I can't seem to find that info anymore. T...

The aircraft in question is a Bombardier Challenger 604 equipped for maritime patrol ops, operated by the Royal Danish Air Force. It positioned from AGP to LIL earlier today with flight identification DAF2495.

• ICAO type: CL60

• Registration: C-080

• Transponder hexadecimal address: 45F422

It is not only a late departure. The aircraft actually had a technical problem. Fair point indeed. Technical problems like these can happen every now and then, statistically speaking in particular when coming from the factory or after maintenance. It isn't the first aircraft that sees its delivery ...

Boeing 737 MAX8 OO-TMZ already in the problems before being delivered to TUIfly Belgium? The delivery flight JAF981F returned to Boeing Field BFI: Don't you think that posting a delivery flight delay as anomaly is a little bit sensational? I mean, technical acceptance of a factory new aircraft and ...

The BAF Falcon 7X OO-FAE is back in Belgium from Islamabad. It landed at BRU at 02.21 this morning after a non-stop flight carefully avoiding Afghan airspace.. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/oo-fae#28d4d005 The landing in BRU was yesterday morning at 0842 LT (0642 UTC). Meanwhile this ...

Not that it makes a lot of difference, but the maintained altitude on downwind was 3000ft AMSL and later on 2000ft AMSL for the intercept according to FR24 pressure altitude data.

Lots of activity going on there at the moment, looking like a (possible) parking location to me

According to the newest ATIS now:
ARR 25L ARR 25R
DEP 25R DEP 25L

LFMI/QIE is not in the FR24 database apparently, while EGVN/BZZ is. Maybe this could be the reason.

The aircraft could still be handled at EBBR while having destination EBMB. This has happened in the past already. That being said, I have my doubts as well. 9H-MIP is currently on its way to LFMI, no one here who could check if there is a flightplan filed for LFMI-EBMB already? The 12 Belgians from ...

9H-MIP to Brussels is not impossible, but it seems far from confirmed, knowing that there are several inconsistencies between the currently available news items several Hi Fly aircraft will be operating repatriation flights (including CS-TQY A343 that departed in BRU this morning and according to th...

Lucas probably wanted to refer to the semi-levered gear design on the main gears. An SLG basically has an additional hydraulic strut connecting the forward part of the main gear bogie and the vertical main gear strut. During takeoff this hydraulic strut locks the main gear bogie perpendicularly to t...

Ailerons raising after touchdown is indeed a newer feature. It came with the ELAC L97 software update. If the aircraft has ELAC computers with software version L97 or newer, it will feature this behaviour on touchdown.

When parked the A320 ailerons will be dropped down indeed as long as the hydraulic pressure in the Green and Blue hydraulic system is not sufficient to overcome them from dropping down due to gravity. A similar effect happens with the elevators, but in this case it's related to the pressure in the G...

No experience either. However, they don't need an approval from the authorities, provided that the land owner agrees and the departure spot fulfills the specifications described in the KB.

Good point about the checks and actions indeed, I guess it will remain a mystery

Wouldn't it just be cheaper and faster to depart in the port straight away instead of additional transport to a registered heliport?

Delivery/new owner I guess?

So the departure could very well have taken place somwhere near the Berendrecht Lock indeed. According to ads-b data the last flight was on 8 May with destination Port of Montréal, it probably arrived in Antwerp via ship.

In Belgium, aircraft (including helicopters) may only operate from registered aerodromes, as listed in the AIP. According to the 'koninklijk besluit' from 29 MAY 2013 ( NL / FR ) landing/departing outside aerodromes/heliports is allowed with a helicopter under certain conditions. Fyi C-GIRI is regi...
