clear obstacles in the departure area, aircraft shall maintain
a net climb gradient of not less than 4% until passing 3000 ft
QNH.
- From take-off to 2100 ft QNH
- take-off power;
- take-off flaps;
- climb to V2 + 10 MNM

- maintain flap and slats in take-off configuration
- climb speed V2 + 10 to 20kt
- adjust power/thrust according noise abatement power thrust
schedule provided in the aircraft operating manual.
- From 2100 ft QNH to 3600 ft QNH:
- start accelerating
- start retracting flaps/slats
- maintain a positive rate of climb
- At 3600 ft QNH:
- accelerate to en-route climb speed
1. AIRPORT REGULATIONS
1.1 Definitions
"Civil subsonic jet aeroplane" means any aeroplane
with a maximum take-off weight of 34,000 kg or more with a certified
maximum internal accommodation for the aeroplane type in question
consisting of more than nineteen passenger seats, excluding any
seats for crew only, and fitted with engines having a by-pass
ration of less than three.
"Recertificated civil subsonic jet aeroplanes" means
a civil subsonic jet aeroplane initially certificated to Chapter
2 or equivalent standards, or initially not noise-certificated
which have been modified to meet Chapter 2 standards either directly
through technical measures or indirectly through operational restrictions;
civil subsonic jet aeroplanes which initially could only be dual-certificated
to the standards of Chapter 3 by means of weight restrictions,
have to be considered as recertificated aeroplanes; civil subsonic
jet aeroplanes which have been modified to meet Chapter 3 standards
by being completely re-engined with engines having a by-pass ratio
or three or more and are not to be considered as recertificated
aeroplanes (hushkitted aircraft).
"Chapter 2" and "Chapter 3" mean the noise
standards as defined in Volume I Part II, Chapter 2 and Chapter
3 respectively of Annex 16 to the Convention on International
Civil Aviation signed at Chicago on 07 December 1944 and approved
by the law of 30 April 1947, third edition (July 1993).
1.2 Requirements of Documents and
Technical Information
The Airport Authority is entitled to require any aircraft operator
to provide any document or technical information related to the
aircraft operated and to prohibit any aircraft from taking-off
if the required documents could not be forwarded.
1.3 Recertificated Civil Subsonic Jet Airplanes
Recertificated civil subsonic jet aircraft are banned from 2200-0600
UTS. However, their operation is authorized during the period
until July 1, 2002 provided those aircraft have been operated
before this decree (Nov 8, 2000_ entered into force.
Excluded from this prohibition:
- take-off and landing performed by aircraft carrying members
of the Belgian Royal Family, the Belgian government, the Regional
and Community governments and foreign Royal Families and Heads
of State or leaders of foreign governments, presidents and commissioners
of the European Union, on official missions;
- take-off and landing performed with regard to missions in
case of disasters or for the purpose of medical assistance;
- take-off and landing concerning military missions
- take-off and landing performed in exceptional conditions
such as:
- flights on which there is immediate danger to the life
or health of persons as well as animals;
- flights diverted for meteorological reasons.
- take-off and landing being carried out with a delay compared
to the schedule initially envisaged in so far as this one is
not ascribable with the airline companies
Exceptionally and on explicit justified request, the Minister
of Mobility and Transport may authorize a take-off or landing
of an non-compliant aircraft.
The operator of a flight seeking an exemption shall obtain
prior permission from:
Civil Aviation Authority

1.4 Recertificated Civil Subsonic Jet
Aeroplanes
1.4.1 Recertificated civil subsonic jet aeroplanes are banned
from 2200 to 0600 UTC. However, their operation is authorized
during this period until 1 July 2002 provided those aeroplanes
have been operated before this decree (08 NOV 2000) entered into
force.
Are excluded from this prohibition:
- take-off and landing performed by aircraft carrying members
of the Belgian Royal Family, the Belgian government, the Regional
and Community governments and foreign Royal Families and Heads
of State or leaders of foreign governments, presidents and commissioners
of the European Union, on official missions;
- take-off and landing performed with regard to missions in
case of disasters or for the purpose of medical assistance;
- take-off and landing concerning military missions
- take-off and landing performed in exceptional conditions
such as:
- flights on which there is immediate danger to the life
or health of persons as well as animals;
- flights diverted for meteorological reasons.
- take-off and landing being carried out with a delay compared
to the schedule initially envisaged in so far as this one is
not ascribable with airline companies.
Exceptionally and on explicit justified request, the Minister
of Mobility and Transport may authorize a take-off or landing
of an aircraft banned for the reasons mentioned above.
1.5 Noise Quota System Between 0530-0600
and 2100-2200
For movements with aircraft certified according to the Standards
of ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 2, 3 or 5, the QC (Quota Count) per
movement is calculated with two numbers after the comma as follows:
QC=10^((B-85)/10)
with B=
- for the purpose of landing:
the certified approach noise level in EPNdB of the aircraft
at its maximum certified landing weight measured at the approach
certification point, minus 9 EPNdB
- for the purpose of take-off:
half the sum of the certified by and the sideline noise level
in EPNdB as measured at the certification points specified
in ICAO Annex 16 during the noise certification of the aircraft
at its maximum certified weight.
For movements with aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of
no more than 8,618 kg or any other aircraft that has been certified
according to the Standards of one of the Chapters or Part 2 of
ICAO Annex 16, with exception of Chapters 2, 3 and 5, the Quota
Count per movement is considered as one (QC=1).
Between 0530 and 0600 and 2100 and 2200 Max Quota Count of 5 per
movement
Penalties applied for any infringement which could be noted by
the Airport Authority:
- the permanent or temporary restrictions for the use of some
types of aircraft according to the Standards on ICAO Annex 16;
- the maximum noise values generated on the ground not to be
exceeded
- the permanent or temporary restrictions for some aircraft
activities due to noise disturbances they cause
- the rules concerning the engine tests
- the particular rules for take-off and landing provided to
limit the noise disturbances involved by these flight phases.
Not affected by the operational hours and the noise quota system
are:
- take-off and landing performed by aircraft carrying members
of the Belgian Royal Family, the Belgian government, the Regional
and Community governments and foreign Royal Families and Heads
of State or leaders of foreign governments, presidents and commissioners
of the European Union, on official missions;
- take-off and landing performed with regard to missions in
case of disasters or for the purpose of medical assistance;
- take-off and landing concerning military missions
- take-off and landing performed in exceptional conditions
such as:
- flights on which there is immediate danger to the life
or health of persons as well as animals;
- flights diverted to EBCI for MET reasons.
- Airport closed at 2200 for all aircraft movement except for
landing of based aircraft being carried out with a delay compared
to the schedule initially envisaged as far as it is not due to
the airline companies and as far as the global quota count of
these flights does not exceed 900 points. A based aircraft is
an aircraft scheduled for landing at the airport before 2200 and
take-off the following day.
Prior to any flight concerned with the above restrictions, operators
shall provide the following information to the Airport Authority:
- type of aircraft and registration
- maximum take-off weight (MTOW)
- maximum landing weight (MLW)
- noise certificate and if necessary, all documents
that include noise levels in EPNdB (sideline, take-off, approach)
3. Engine Test Runs
Outdoors engine test runs are prohibited between 2000 and 0800
UTC
4. Aircraft Noise Certification
Aircraft operating to or from EBCI must be noise-certificated
according to ICAO Annex 16
5. Use of Reverse Thrust
The reverse thrust should be kept to the minimum compatible with
the safety of the aircraft. Nevertheless this is prohibited at
any time on the aprons.
6. Use of APU/GPU/400 Hz
6.1 Arriving Aircraft
When arriving at one of the aircraft parking stands and as soon
as possible (MAX 5 MIN after the stop), 400 Hz shall be immediately
connected and the APU shall be switched off.
6.2 Departing Aircraft
When departing (15 MIN before ETD) from one of the aircraft parking
stands, the APU is allowed to be started and 400 Hz shall be disconnected.
6.3 Remark
When one of the systems is unserviceable, the APU may be used. |
