Abnormalities in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2016

[Homo Aeroportus]

Not really "abnormal" but what type of calibration is this?

VOR check? Seems centred on SPI and OLN.

Jetair OO-JEB Nador -> ANR diverted to BRU due to weather below CAT I minima's (dense fog). Thus messing up a bit the rest of today's schedule for OO-JEB...

[Passenger]

Hainan HU-491 Bejing-Brussels (A330-300 B-5935) aborted final approach to Brussels this morning, and diverted to Paris CDG.

Same problem as JAF at ANR = fog at BRU?

A total power failure at the Brussels Airport terminal has caused / is causing delays for outgoing flights.

Power is back on now.

A total power failure? At least Belgocontrol was operational this morning. And this has nothing to do with the terror attacks. Is it, like in the previous Belgocontrol failure, the lack of backup equipment? In any case, this is unacceptable from a large international airport like BRU. What next?

Incidentally, I arrived this morning at 8:00 at the airport for a press conference about the 2015 results and the 2016 priorities of the airport. The conference w<as first delayed and ultimately cancelled. I understand that at that moment, BRU staff had better things to do than to feed poor journalists...

HLN.be: "...De stroompanne vanochtend op de luchthaven Brussels Airport was het gevolg van een hoogspanningscabine die was uitgevallen. Dat zegt woordvoerster Anke Fransen vanmiddag. Door de panne waren verschillende vluchten vertraagd, maar er werden geen vluchten geannuleerd. "Toen de hoogspanningscabine uitviel, traden na enkele minuten de noodgeneratoren in werking. Enkele schakelaars tussen de noodgeneratoren en de operationele systemen in de terminal hebben echter niet goed gewerkt. Dat was het geval voor het bagage- en sorteersysteem en de paspoortcontrole", legt Fransen uit. "Rond 7.40 uur werden de schakelaars goed gezet en werd teruggeschakeld naar de hoogspanningscabine." Verder onderzoek moet uitwijzen wat het probleem was met de cabine en de schakelaars. Rond 09.30 uur waren de lange wachtrijen weggewerkt en tegen 12 uur waren ook alle gevolgproblemen van de baan. Enkele vluchten liepen vertraging op, maar geen enkele vlucht moest worden geannuleerd..."

Translated by non-Luchtzak member mr. Google:

The power outage this morning at Brussels Airport was the result of a high-voltage cabin that had failed, according to spokeswoman Anke Fransen. The failure has delayed several flights, but no flights were canceled. "When the high-voltage cabin went down, emergency generators entered inro operation. Some switches between the emergency generators and operating systems in the terminal owever failed: the luggage belts and the passport control," explains Fransen. "Around 7:40 pm, the switches were put right and was switched back to the high-voltage cabin." Further research should determine what the problem was with the cab and switches. Around 9:30 pm the long queues were gone and at 12 hours all was back to normal. Some flights were delayed, but no flights had to be canceled.

Indeed... what's next...

[Passenger]

JAF-1163/TB1163 Brussels-Corfu (OO-TUK 737-800) went into a holding for 75 minutes near Corfu, and then diverted to Athens.

Normal routing 1164 back to BRU afterwards, so probably weather divertion?

2 NH flights today june 14. Normal flight and an other one at 23h50 ...2 times a B787...reason ?

[Duke]

TB2258 (Malaga-Ostend) on June 14 had a 12 hour delay, and was operated by OO-JAV instead of the usual G-RAJG that's stationed at Ostend.
G-RAJG doesn't seem to fly today either, at least no flights are mentioned on FR24.
What went wrong?

It got hit by a vehicle at OST

[Boeing767copilot]

If my info is right, FR8585 Rhodes 15:45 - Stansted 19:50 diverted to BRU. The crew told air traffic control there was a "medical issue". Hense the return with a delay over 2 hrs as the crew went out of duty.

Correct .... BRU-STN will be operated by BRU crew and they will be ferried back to BRU with one of the learjets

[sn26567]

Medical issues are often very urgent, but continuing to STN instead of landing in Brussels would have added at most 30 minutes before landing. It must really have been very very urgent.

Having crews based at many various locations can alleviate the inconveniences of a diversion for the passengers. Well done Ryanair.

Anyone an idea which plane Céline Dion used to fly to Belgium (or Paris)?

During previous tours she used a Bombardier Global Express registered N701WH but I don't think she owned it (even though according to the media it was her jet). The plane was registered with Vesey Air LLC and was operated by pilots provided by Bombardier.

These days i'm not so sure, I'm guessing that she used a charter since a couple of pics on Instagram are showing parts of 2 different planes.

Incident: Ryanair B738 at Dublin on Jun 22nd 2016, rejected takeoff due to technical

A Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-FRT performing flight FR-1452 from Dublin (Ireland) to Brussels (Belgium), was accelerating for takeoff from Dublin's runway 28 when the crew rejected takeoff.

A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration EI-ENN reached Brussels with a delay of 2.5 hours.

The aircraft was carrying a number of soccer fans hoping to connect flights to Lille (France) out of Brussels.

Chalair flight Caen-Antwerp is doing a strang route!!!

Chalair flight Caen-Antwerp is doing a strang route!!!

Indeed: I guess it never arrived in ANR!

Chalair flight Caen-Antwerp is doing a strang route!!!

Well the distance between CFR and ANR is 200NM, or ... 21400NM, depending on the initial heading.


Maybe they realized that?

H.A.

[Homo Aeroportus]

Not sure I should be joking about it though.

At first, wrong heading but stable altitude. Only ground speed, no IAS, TAS.

Then what looks like an RTB.
Disregard that low Gnd Speed as it cannot be the same on the reciprocal.

Reducing Alt but disregard the V/S.

Then FR24 loses the XPDR return at FL100?

And no info on this flight CFR-ANR. ??
Is this for real or a "ghost" on FR24?
