2   GROUND PROCEDURES
2.1   Engine Test Runs and Idle Checks

Engine test runs in the open air must be restricted to the very minimum and are only allowed between 0800-1100 (0700-1000) and 1300-1700 (1200-1600). The Airport Authority has the right to stop or restrict all ongoing tests in case of violation of airport regulations or other circumstances that require such decision.

Preferred location for engine test runs are aircraft stands 243/251, 244/252.

When stand 243 or 244 is used, crew shall ensure the taxilane behind the stand is free when performing idle and low power engine test runs. When performing high power test runs, also stand 241, 242 respectively has to be kept free.

When stand 251 is used, crew shall ensure apron 3 is free until intersection B3 for idle and low power engine test runs.
When performing high power test runs, apron 3 shall be kept completely free.

Take-off power engine test runs are only allowed on the RWY, after prior approval of the airport authority and when traffic permits.

2.2   Power Supply

The APU shall be shut down at the earliest opportunity after arrival, not exceeding 30 MIN, and it may only be restarted when essential aircraft checks or cabin conditions require so before the planned departure, and this also not exceeding 40 MIN.

3   ARRIVAL PROCEDURES
3.1   VFR arrivals (Except High Performance Aircraft)

Keep an altitude of 1 000 FT until turning final, if compatible with the safety of the aircraft.

Keep the angle of descent as high as compatible with the safety of the aircraft.

Perform a gliding approach >3° with the lowest power setting possible.

Low approach with full flaps setting, high motor rotation speed and high pitch setting is forbidden.

4   DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
4.1   VFR Take-off and Climb Procedures

For turbo-jet aircraft:

  • From take-off to 1 500 FT QNH:
    • take-off power;
    • take-off flaps;
    • climb to V2 + 10 to 20 KT or as limited by body angle;
  • At 1 500 FT QNH:
    • reduce thrust to not less than climb thrust;
  • From 1 500 FT QNH to 3 000 FT QNH:
    • climb at V2 + 10 to 20 KT;
  • At 3 000 FT QNH:
    • accelerate smoothly to en-route climb speed with flaps retraction.

For propeller aircraft:

  • From take-off to 1 000 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;
  • At 1 000 FT QNH:
    • reduce power to the maximum normal operating power, if this power has been used for showing compliance with noise certification requirements or to the maximum climb power;
  • From 1 000 FT QNH to 3 000 FT QNH:
    • climb at the maximum gradient with reduced power, maintaining constant speed;
  • Above 3 000 FT QNH:
    • accelerate smoothly to en-route climb speed.

EBKT AD 2.22  Flight Procedures

1   GENERAL
1.1   Aerodrome Minima
1.1.1   VMC Aerodrome Minima

See ENR 1.2, § 1.1.

1.1.2   Aerodrome Declared IFR

When the MET conditions are below VMC minima or for another reason (e.g. high density traffic predicted), the AFIS shall declare the aerodrome IFR. In principle, only IFR flights are permitted.

Airport minimum is 800 M.

1.2   Communication

Incoming traffic shall contact Kortrijk Information at least 5 MIN before entering the aerodrome traffic circuit. However, contact shall be made at MAX 15 NM from EBKT and MAX 3 000 FT AMSL.

All traffic shall contact Kortrijk Information before taxiing.

1.3   Traffic Regulation

As the aerodrome is situated in uncontrolled airspace class G, it shall be noted that flights into and from EBKT operate at own risk as no ATC separation service is provided.

SERA.3210 rules “avoidance of collisions” are applicable: landing aircraft have priority. When more than one aircraft are landing, the lowest has priority.

1.4   Traffic Information Between IFR and VFR Flights
  • On first contact, all traffic report position, altitude and intentions.
  • Usage of compulsory reporting points:
    • IFR flights shall report flying over the IAF MAK, IF and FAF indicating position, altitude and intentions;
    • Additionally, IFR traffic shall report when vacating the runway or when initiating missed approach
    • VFR flights shall report flying over the entry reporting points (N1, S1, E1 and W1) and, when in the traffic circuit, report beginning of downwind, turning base leg and final;
    • VFR flights are recommended to report flying over the intermediate points (N2, S2, E2 and W2).
  • All pilots shall maintain two-way radio communication on FREQ 120.250 MHZ.
  • To enhance the “see and avoid” concept, all aircraft operating locally at EBKT:
    • shall keep their navigation, landing and anti-collision lights switched on;
    • will keep a sharp look-out for other traffic;
    • is highly recommended not to exceed 185 KIAS, unless prescribed otherwise by the relevant flight procedures.
  • Kortrijk Information will inform the IFR flight of the position of all known VFR flights in the vicinity of the airfield and broadcast to the VFR flights the position of the IFR flight.
  • IFR traffic proceeding for a visual approach are recommended to proceed for the entire VFR circuit.
    Provided traffic permits, a visual straight in approach might be available, AFIS will advise.
  • VFR flights are recommended not to fly overhead the field when entering the RMZ/TMZ via the mandatory entry reporting points. AFIS will provide pilots with aerodrome information.
  • VFR pilots are recommended to join beginning of downwind of their applicable circuit.
    Provided traffic permits, a straight in approach might be available, AFIS will advise.
  • For traffic separation, orbits are allowed in the circuit, or if necessary pilots should extend downwind slightly or leave the traffic circuit and re-join beginning of downwind in order to avoid conflicts with other traffic.
  • Student pilots should include the word “SOLO” immediately after the aircraft call sign at initial contact with Kortrijk Information (ref SERA.8035).
  • All pilots shall report left/right hand downwind, base and final.
2   IFR FLIGHTS
2.1   General
  • Only 3 IFR movements at the same time are allowed.
  • 3 IFR movements at a time means that skeyes (Brussels info, Brussels departure/control, EBKT info) provides traffic info to the maximum extend to pilots in order to strive for a maximum of 1 IFR departure, 1 IFR arrival and 1 IFR in holding at the same time and that pilots have to keep in mind that they fly in class G where the ultimate responsibility for separation remains with the pilot.
  • Unless prescribed otherwise by the relevant flight procedures, all traffic in Kortrijk RMZ/TMZ is highly recommended not to exceed 185 KIAS.
  • Arriving IFR flights shall announce their ETO MAK at least 10 MIN in advance on the EBKT AFIS FREQ 120.250 MHZ.
2.2   Holding pattern

Only one holding level is available at 3 000 FT.

Holding is not allowed for training purposes.
