Does Brussels Airport have basicrules about wich runway is in use?

[Tomskii]

And to clear up the winds + times when runways are used: please read below:

Source: * AIP BELGIUM AND LUXEMBOURG AD2.20 PARA 4.2.2
* AIP BELGIUM AND LUXEMBOURG AD2.20 PARA 4.2.3



EBBR Preferential Runway System – All times are local times

Times of runway changeover are subject to flexibility in order to ensure transition in safe conditions.
ATC will operate the changeover as close as possible from the indicated time, taking into account the
traffic conditions.

EXCEPTIONS:
The preferential runway system is not the determining factor in runway selection under the following
circumstances:
1. When the runway is dry or wet and the crosswind component exceeds 15 kt (gusts included).
2. When the runway is dry or wet and the tailwind component exceeds 7 kt (gusts included),
including a buffer value of 2 kt.
3. When the runways are contaminated or when braking action is less than good.
4. When alternative runways are successively requested by pilots for safety reasons.
5. When pilots report excessive wind at higher altitudes
6. When wind shear has been reported or forecast, or when thunderstorms are expected to affect
arriving or departing traffic.

When the wind components exceed the indicated values, a runway more into wind will be assigned.
However, RWY 07L/R will not be used for landing, except when no other suitable runway is available.
In headwind configurations, the crosswind component is not a limiting factor when take-off is conducted

Can someone tell me what runway is expected to be in use this afternoon and this evening, based on the expected wind speeds?
Thanks a lot!

Today 31st August, around 08:30, quite abrupt change from 25L arrivals to 02? Strange changes in the routings visible on flightradar24, including some excursions over Brussels city - but at FL070 or so.

From twitter https://twitter.com/BrusselsAirport/sta ... 8805618688:

Due to heavy wind from the north , single Runway operations has to be expected until 12h00 utc. Delays can be expected

For those having Facebook - here's a link to a 37sec movie posted on Bru Airport's facebook page this morning - while pax are boarding an Onur Air flight, lots of traffic taxiing to take of from 02 ...nice !

Tht's normal procedure for arrivals RWY02. Traffic coming from the east will fly to BUB, descending to FL70 and then over the city for left hand circuit. We had to use RWY02 because all RWYs were outside of the limits (crosswind up to 20kts) and then we have to choose whichever RWY is closest to the limits.

Greetings,

Currently, 19:00lt, arrivals on 07 RIGHT.
ATIS U, 1754z, Arr VOR-DME 07R, Dep 07L.
Not that common, no?

Cheers,

H.A.

[stefanel]

first time ever ATIS is announcing landings on 07L (which is actual, I see the planes from my window), take offs on 25 R !!! that's crazy, right?
must be a mistake LOL
wind 120 06knots... 02 closed.

[KriVa]

Not sure about BRU, but CRL has this config from time to time.

[stefanel]

really, I have never seen this. There is quite a lot of traffic now there, this would be quite dangerous, wouldn't it?

[CTBke]

actually we took off from 07R yesterday around 14:00 LT

[KriVa]

Nothing dangerous about it with proper sequencing. However, if they are actually running that config, for whatever reason, capacity will be dramatically reduced.
