Could this be the same airplane I saw abort final approach around 8.00 AM, banking left to cross the E40 at Leuven?

There is a white Boeing 727 standing at Abelag right now, air traffic was stopped for +- 10 minutes this afternoon so the 727 could land on runway 07L.

Should be this one: B727 carrying Togo's president, declared emergency landing; fearing he was out of fuel.



Het vliegtuig in moeilijkheden ...

01/09 Verleden week gebeurde ook noodlanding op Zaventem


Van der Meerschen feliciteert wel de piloot om zijn koelbloedigheid, wat ook Viselé doet. Touwaide doet dit ook, maar wijst er op dat het vliegtuig "met een minder ervaren piloot gecrasht was ".


:roll: This Touwaide-guy really makes ...

I can confirm, just saw a A310 of Belgian Defence nearly hitting the church of Diegem

Slightly off topic but still involving Brussels, just spoke to my Dad who was on the Brussels-Manchester this morning and there are air traffic delays today, biac.be gives 40 odd minute delays earlier this morning. Have all the controllers gone to the coast or something....

Most likely because of ...

They could always just add a new runway at BRU a bit remote from the current ones, takes a long way to taxi, but at least it's a bit further. Like the Polderbaan at AMS, takes 15 minutes to taxi to the gate after touchdown.

I think this is imposible here, given the density of population ...

Hello,

Actually,

Arrival on rwy 07R,
Departure on rwy 07L.

Thibault

Indeed, and I find it very surprising that the use of 07R for arrivals is occuring more and more these days. Untill 2006, this was very very rare but in the last copple of weeks it happend several times!

New restrictions in ...

In every other country of the world, the road signs show the name of the main city served by the airport. But this is Belgium...

Not agreed: I remember searching for Malaga airport for instance, which was not indicated as Malaga but with the local name (don't remember what that was though). Still ...

On the contrary, noise is a very subjective issue!

For example:

I live in Diegem, directly under the 25R flightpath and with 90% of the weekly departures, but you won't hear me complaining about the noise.

Other surrounding regions/inhabitants of the airport (much further away from the airport ...

a correct phonic insulation of the houses in that area.
Too simple?


not really an easy task IMO: where will you draw the frontiers to determinate which areas will be insulated? How can you objectively measure noise and determine if someone suffers from it?

I think a possible insulation ...

In "Le Soir" this morning :
The Belgian Cockpit Association (BeCA) has criticized the plan for the dispersion of flights around Zaventem.
The association wants the respect of international rules demanding that landing and take off be made into wind.
The association is for the use mainly of 25R ...

What was the situation before 1999?
The safest and only intelligent one: the runways were chosen in function of the atmospheric conditions!

Please let's go back to the pre-1999 situation :twisted:

Safety should prevail, no question about that. But there's more to it than just chosing the active ...

Due to dominant winds from SW, the Noordrand would of course be at a disadvantage, but this is the least populated area around the airport. It should not be too difficult to pay them a good phonic insulation, as the walloon region is doing for Liège.

I've asked you already, but I will ask you ...

Anyway, I think that it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find a solution with the current extremist flemish government. It is thinking only about voices it can get not about the belgium future. After that do not be afraid if VB will get the first position. This is the choice of the flemish government, a ...

And it will cost a lot of money (2 new ILS + new taxiways + runway extension)


concentrate flights over less populated areas, expropriate and insulate houses inside these areas, convert them to offices or parks, and the problem will be definitely fixed !


:?: I wonder what would trigger the ...

determine the least poplutated areas (easy: it is actually the Noordrand with 25,000 people)

I'm very interested to know what's your definition of "the Noordrand" :?:
FYI: Vilvoorde alone, which is located at the Noordrand I do believe, has a population of + 37.000!

I think that if we would ...

Do you confirm it was 07L and not 07R!
as there is no published procedure on the 07L
and there is a VOR DME on the 07R it looks strange to me!
is the 07R/25L also closed??
;)

Guess my patience has been rewarded :D

Sitting in front ...

And again ,again, again, there was today some trouble with the diversion plan. The Noordrand get richt from the court. The court decided today the the use of 25R is not longer allowed in the weekend . They don't and they will not, the judges, understand that they will close the airport with that ...
