RWY 05L / 23R is a secondary RWY available for operational needs in VMC and CAT. I but also usable as TWY (designation TWY B) - double lighting according to the use.

Runway 23L is available for CAT. III operations
Main Runway 05R/23L extended to 3700(m) - completion due 2004

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES
a. General
Noise abatement take-off and climb procedures are applicable for whatever runway-in-use and for SID's.

b. Climb gradient :
In order to minimize noise disturbance and to clear obstacles in the departure area, aircraft shall maintain a net climb gradient of not less than 5.8 % until passing 3600 ft QNH.
c. Turbo-jet powered aircraft
- From take-off to 2100 ft QNH :



* take-off power;
* take-off flaps
* climb to V2 + 10 or 20 kt or as limited by body angle
- At 2100 ft QNH : * reduce thrust to not less than climb thrust
- From 2100 ft QNH to 3600 ft QNH: * climb at V2 + 10 or 20 kt.
- At 3600 ft QNH :

* accelerate smoothly to the en-route climb speed with flaps retraction.
Propeller aircraft
- From take-off to 1600 ft QNH :




* take-off power;
* climb at a maximum gradient compatible with safety;
* speed not less than single engine climb speed nor higher than best rate of climb speed
- At 1600 ft QNH :



* reduce power to the normal operating power if this power has been used for showing compliance with the noise certification requirements or to the maximum climb power.

- From 1600 ft QNH to 3600 ft QNH:

* climb at the maximum gradient with reduced power, maintaining constant speed
- Above 3600 ft QNH :

* accelerate smoothly to the en-route climb speed.
Use of reverse thrust : the reverse thrust should be kept to a minimum compatible with the safety of the aircraft.

NOISE LEVEL LIMITS
The principle of the repression against noise pollution generated by the airline traffic is into force by the Walloon Region decree dated 2001, 08 June.

Noise level limits by area, based on Noise Exposition Map, and are :

AREA LAeq (1s) MAX
B 87 dBA

C

82 dBA

D

77 dBA

Penalties will are 200 to 7500 EUR / offense.

Rules, limits and penalties table are published in the Walloon Region decree dated 2004, 29 January.

CHAPTER 2 RESTRICTIONS

1.3 Recertificated Civil Subsonic Jet Aircraft*
Recertificated civil subsonic jet aircraft are banned from 2200 to 0600 UTC. However, their operation authorized during this period until 1 July 2002 provided those aircraft have been operated before the Nov. 8, 2000 decree, entered into force.

* Recertificated civil subsonic jet aircraft are aircraft that were initially certificated to Chapter 2 or equivalent standards or initially not noise certificated but have been modified to meet Chapter 3 standards either directly through technical measures or indirectly through operational restrictions. Airplanes which initially could only be dual certificated to the standards of Chapter 3 by means of weight restrictions, have to be considered as re certificated airplanes. Airplanes that have been modified to meet Chapter 3 standards by being completely re-engine with engines having a by- pass ration of three or more are not to be considered re certificated airplanes.

There are exceptions to this regulation for operations related to missions in case of disasters or for the purpose of medical assistance, military missions, flights on which there is immediate danger to the life or health of persons as well as animals and flights diverted to the airport for meteorological reasons.

Exceptionally and on explicit justified request, the Minister of Transport may authorize a take-off or landing of an aircraft that is banned by virtue of para above.

CHAPTER 2 PHASEOUT

Chapter 2 airplanes >75,000 lbs are banned from operating in EU Member States as of April 1, 2002.

CHAPTER 3 RESTRICTIONS
