Hi all,

Again I got some info on a possible special cargo flight of Aviant (UAK) in the form of UR-ZYD from United Arab Emirates on the route Abu Dhabi-Brussels-Eindhoven. Arrival around 1330, departure around 1630. It needs to be confirmed, so if anyone has more or updated news please let us know.

I know about the following 2 flights posted today at the EWAS mailing list:

31/8 arrival 17.00
departure 1/9 om 08.00

02/9 arrival 11.00
departure 13.00

Times are UTC so this means +2 hours. These flight are both for Eindhoven.

Best Regards,
Yvo

So if I get it right Yvo, the AN124 will arrive at 19h LT in Eindhoven which means that it'll leave BRu later than 16h30. This again means that the AN124 will arrive later than 13h30 if I get it right

That's correct Chris.
Could it be that Q707's times are also UTC times?
I think you won't fly much longer then 30 minutes from BRU to EIN.

Will this beauty land on 25L? Or is it capable of landing on 25R with the restricted runway length?

It all depends on how much cargo this plane is transporting I suppose. But I would guess 25L.

My times were local times, so clearly only one of "our" sources is telling the truth. My advice is to show up a bit earlier than to late. But as Eurocontrol said: its isn't sure it will show up at all. Thats the risky, but sometimes worthfull game.

Hi Guys,

YES it's on it's way, arrival is planned according to flightplan at 1338lt, on a BATTY arrival to BRU. There is NO outbound plan filed yet, to EIN or anywhere, so maybe it will stay longer, or they will just file when they get here, even better maybe they will fly VFR to EIN..................

See you there I guess

> on a BATTY arrival to BRU.

Eurocontrol, I suppose that BATTY is a 'waypoint', a 'VOR' or something alike. Where is it located?

Thank you.

Avro · Post by **Avro** » 31 Aug 2004, 10:03

First of all many thanks for the confirmation Tony. The weather looks good so I'll certainly be there

Now for the BATTY Approach. I searched in the Jeppesen charts and found the following:

The first charts clearly shows the BATTY (in RED) arrival.

original size

and here on the second one you see how the plane will most probably fly from FLO on to BRU. Most probably 25L:

I hope this helps you Established02

Jan_Olieslagers and Avro, both thank you very much for the interesting info.

Could it be that BATTY is located at the town of Bastogne?

Some other known waypoints:

Nicky near Sint-Niklaas,
Koksy near Koksijde,
Flora near Florenne

Saw it over my house, very very low !!! It came from FLO (I guess

) and landed on 25L. Heared a amazing sound, great 8)

I just received an email that the plane arrived at EIN.

So it hasn't been in BRU for a very long time.

Best Regards,
Yvo

Great I saw it in BRU

It landed at 13h15 and took off at 15h15 to Eindhoven.

Pictures will follow in a few minutes/hours
