EBCI AD 2.20  Local Aerodrome Regulations

1   GENERAL
1.1   Restrictions for Aircraft Categories

All arriving IFR flights operated by CAT A and B aircraft are strictly PPR. Permission shall be requested from EBCI ATC by phone prior departure.

Only jet and turbine engine aircraft are allowed between 2100-2200 (2000-2100).

For arrivals after 2100 (2000) aircraft have to be able to maintain 160 KT till the OM as long as the IAF is overflown at 2130 (2030) at the latest. If the IAF is not overflown before 2130 (2030), ATC cannot guarantee that a landing will be possible before 2200 (2100) and the pilot may expect a diversion to another suitable airport. ATC is the only one to allow the landing or not, depending on air traffic conditions.

1.2   Alternate Aerodrome

EBCI shall not be used as alternate aerodrome in flight plans by flights requiring handling services, unless prior agreement has been reached with BSCA operations (TEL: +32 (0) 71 25 12 50).

1.3   Ground surveillance - Use of Mode S transponders

EBCI is equipped with an advanced ground surveillance system using Mode S. Operators intending to use the airport should ensure that Mode S transponders are able to operate when their aircraft are on the ground.

Pilots shall select XPDR or the equivalent according to specific installation, AUTO if available, not OFF or STBY, and the assigned Mode A code:

  • from the request for push back or taxi, whichever is earlier;
  • after landing, continuously until the aircraft is fully parked on stand. When parked, Mode A code 2000 shall be set before selecting OFF or STBY.

The aircraft identification (i.e. call sign used in flight) shall be entered as from the request for push back or taxi, whichever is earlier (through the FMS or the transponder control panel). Pilots shall use the ICAO format for aircraft identification, as entered in item 7 of the flight plan form (e.g. “DAT123”).

To ensure that the performance of systems based on SSR frequencies (including airborne ACAS units and SSR radars) is not compromised, ACAS shall not be selected before receiving clearance to line up. It should be deselected after vacating the runway.

Aircraft taxiing without flight plan, shall select Mode A code 2000.

1.4   Pre-departure Checks, including Engine/Power Check

Aircraft with engine(s) running can not stay more than five minutes on its parking position on P1, P2, P3 and P4.

Pre-departure checks, including engine/power checks shall not be performed on the parking position.

Pre-departure checks, including engine/power checks shall be performed on dedicated area after receiving the taxi clearance:

  • RWY 24 in use: following ATC instructions, on P5 or on the dedicated zone on TWY S in front of parking position 35-39
  • RWY 06 in use: following ATC instructions, at the holding point S1 or S2

EBCI AD 2.21  Noise Abatement Procedures

1   GENERAL
1.1   Noise Certification

Aircraft operating at EBCI must be noise certificated according to ICAO Annex 16, Volume I. Between 0530-0600 (0430-0500) and 2100-2200 (2000-2100), movements of aircraft with MTOW over 8 618 KG and certified according to the standards of chapters 2, 3, 4 or 5 of ICAO Annex 16, Volume I are restricted to a maximum QC of 5 per movement.

The QC is calculated using the formula QC = 10[(B-85)/10], whereby “B” equals:

  • for take-off: half the sum of the certified fly-over and sideline noise levels in EPNdB of the aircraft at its MTOW
  • for landing: the certified approach noise level in EPNdB of the aircraft at its maximum landing weight, minus 9 EPNdB.

At 2200 (2100) the aerodrome is closed for all aircraft movements, except for delayed landing of based aircraft (scheduled landing before 2200 (2100) and take-off the following day), provided the delay is due to circumstances beyond the operator's control and as far as the operator's points “P” do not exceed 0.616 per day (averaged on a yearly basis). For this purpose, “P” is calculated using the formula P = R x 10[(B-85)/10], whereby “B” equals the certified approach noise level in EPNdB of the aircraft at its maximum landing weight, minus 9 EPNdB and “R” equals:

  • 0.3 for a landing between 0 and 15 MIN or between 421 and 450 MIN after 2200 (2100);
  • 0.8 for a landing between 16 and 30 MIN after 2200 (2100);
  • 1.3 for a landing between 31 and 90 MIN after 2200 (2100);
  • 1.8 for a landing between 91 and 420 MIN after 2200 (2100).

Prior to any concerned flight, operators shall provide following information to the Airport Authority:

  • aircraft type and registration;
  • MTOW and MLW;
  • noise certification and, if necessary, all documents that include noise levels in EPNdB (sideline, take-off, approach).

Following flights are exempted from the noise quota system:

  • flights carrying members of the Belgian Royal Family, the federal government, regional or community governments or foreign royal families, foreign heads of state or government leaders, the President or members of the European Commission on official mission;
  • missions in case of disaster or medical urgency;
  • military missions;
  • take-off or landing performed in exceptional conditions (flights on which an immediate threat exists to the health of people or animals, diverted flights, etc.).
1.2   Recertificated Aircraft

Recertificated civil subsonic jet aircraft are prohibited from 2200 to 0600 (2100 to 0500). The Airport Authority is entitled to require the aircraft operator to provide any related document or technical information concerning an operated aircraft, and to refuse take-off if these documents or information are not forwarded.

Following flights are exempted from this restriction:

  • flights carrying members of the Belgian Royal Family, the federal government, regional or community governments or foreign royal families, foreign heads of state or government leaders, the President or members of the European Commission on official mission;
  • missions in case of disaster or medical urgency;
  • military missions;
  • take-off or landing performed in exceptional conditions (flights on which an immediate threat exists to the health of people or animals, diverted flights, etc.);
  • delayed flights, provided the delay is due to circumstances beyond the operator's control.

Exceptionally and on explicit justified request, the minister of transport may authorize take-off or landing of a non-compliant aircraft.

1.3   Reverse Thrust

The use of reverse thrust shall be kept to a minimum compatible with the safety of the aircraft. On the aprons, it is prohibited at any time.

1.4   Penalties

Penalties are applied for any infringement found by the Airport Authority on:

  • the permanent or temporary restrictions for the use of some aircraft types according to ICAO Annex 16, Volume I;
  • the maximum values for noise generated on the ground;
  • the permanent or temporary restrictions for some aircraft activities due to the caused noise disturbance;
  • the rules concerning engine tests;
  • the noise abatement procedures for take-off and landing.
2   GROUND PROCEDURES
2.1   Engine Test Runs and Idle Checks

Engine tests runs (high power) are prohibited on aircraft stands.

Outdoor engine test runs (high power) are prohibited between 2000 and 0800 (1900 and 0700).

Idle checks are only allowed during opening hours.

During the engine test, no aircraft < than 10 T shall be on final RWY 24.

TWY S E of TWY S4 will be closed when a full power run-up is performed by an Airbus A340-300, A330-200 or an Airbus A330-900.

Full power engine tests of aircraft code C or above:

  • will be notified by NOTAM;
  • are performed on P5;
  • only when RWY 24 is in use.

During full power engine tests aircraft with a MTOW ≤ 5.7 T are subject to the following restrictions:

  • TWY S4 not available;
  • only home-based aircraft are allowed to depart from TWY S3 (no landing, no touch and go);
  • for training flights, instructor must be on board;
  • in case of emergency, RWY 06 will be used for landing.
3   ARRIVAL PROCEDURES
3.1   Noise Abatement Approach and Landing Procedures

Noise abatement descent and approach procedures using continuous descent and reduced power/reduced drag techniques should be used when following conditions apply:

  • ILS available;
  • runway clear and dry;
  • visibility exceeding 1 900 M;
  • ceiling higher than 500 FT above AD ELEV;
  • cross wind component lower than 15 KT (gusts incl);
  • tail wind component lower than 5 KT (gusts incl);
  • no adverse weather conditions that may affect the approach (wind shear, thunderstorms, etc).

Turbo-jet powered aircraft shall use as final flap setting the minimum certified setting published in the aircraft operating manual for the applicable conditions. However, each pilot-in-command may use a different flap setting approved for the aircraft if he determines that it is necessary in the interest of safety.

3.2   Continuous Descent Operations (CDO)

When the traffic situation permits, ATC will facilitate continuous descent for all RWY, based on radar vectoring or RNP approach.

Facilitation of CDO will be provided at ATC discretion only.

When a CDO can be approved by ATC, as soon as practicable after first call on the APP frequency, ATC will provide distance from touchdown and an approval to descend at pilot’s discretion. The phraseology “when ready, descend” shall be used.

CDO will not be facilitated in adverse weather conditions that may affect the approach (wind shear, thunderstorms, etc.).

Subject to ATC instructions, inbound aircraft shall adopt a continuous descent profile - to the greatest possible extent compatible with safe operation of the aircraft - by employing minimum engine thrust, ideally in a low drag configuration, prior to the FAF/FAP.

Note: All noise abatement procedures for arrivals as well as the speed limitations as specified in the AIP Belgium & Luxembourg remain applicable when performing CDO.

4   DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
4.1   Climb Gradient

In order to minimize noise nuisance and to clear obstacles in the departure area, aircraft shall maintain a net climb gradient of 4% MNM until passing 3 000 FT QNH.

4.2   Noise Abatement Take-off and Climb Procedures
  • From take-off to 2 100 FT QNH:
    • take-off power;
    • take-off flaps;
    • climb speed V2 + 10 KT MNM;
  • At 2 100 FT QNH:
    • maintain flaps in take-off configuration;
    • climb speed V2 + 10 to 20 KT;
    • adjust power according to the noise abatement power thrust schedule provided in the aircraft operating manual;
  • From 2 100 FT QNH to 3 600 FT QNH:
    • start accelerating;
    • start retracting flaps;
    • maintain a positive rate of climb;
  • At 3 600 FT QNH:
    • accelerate to en-route climb speed.

3.1.2   Climb Requirements

All traffic shall initially climb to 4 000 FT QNH, unless instructed otherwise by ATC. a higher level will be allocated as soon as possible.

Following additional requirements apply:

  • traffic proceeding via SOPOK- ETENO - ROPUV and planned above FL 245 shall cross BULUX at FL 170 MNM and ETENO at FL 250 MNM;
  • traffic proceeding via RITAX and planned above FL 245 shall cross RITAX at FL 250 MNM.

Aircraft unable to meet these requirements shall advise ATC when requesting start-up clearance, allowing for appropriate coordination to be made with adjacent ATS units in due time.

4   LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES
4.1   Facilities and Equipment Available
4.1.1   Runways

RWY 24 is equipped with ILS and is approved for CAT II and IIIB. Following RVR minima apply:

  • CAT II: below 550 M to 300 M;
  • CAT IIIB: below 300 M to 150 M;
  • TKOF: 150 M.

RWY 06 is approved for low visibility take-off when RVR ≥ 150 M

150 M RVR has been fixed as minimum RVR value by the Belgian CAA. Pilots requesting to land with RVR below 150 M will be advised that they are below minimum, but will not be refused landing clearance.

The runway exits are equipped with alternating green and yellow centre line lights within the ILS sensitive areas. Landing aircraft should leave this area as soon as possible.

In order to provide adequate protection of the ILS system, no vehicle or aircraft shall infringe the ILS sensitive areas when an arriving aircraft has passed the OM and has not completed its landing run.

Departing aircraft shall use the CAT II/III holding positions.

Guided take-off is not available.

4.1.2   Taxiways

An advanced surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS) is operational.

All taxiways equipped with centre line lights are available.

In case the aircraft needs to be escorted by a follow-me car, the pilot shall be informed about this by ATC together with the position of the follow-me car on TWY N.

Neither vehicles nor aircraft shall pass through a stop bar.

If A-SMGCS is not operational, and RVR is less than 550 M, taxi restricted to taxiways with centre line lights on and movements on the manoeuvring area will be limited to one movement at a time, except if RWY 24 and TWY N are in use, in that case 2 aircraft (MAX code C) may be allowed simultaneously.

4.1.3   Communications

Pilots will be informed by ATIS or ATC when LVP are in progress. The ATIS message will contain the phrase “LOW VISIBILITY OPERATIONS” and will also provide details of any unavailability of equipment relevant to LVP.

Pilots will be informed by ATC when LVP are terminated.

4.2   Criteria for the Initiation and Termination of LVP

LVP includes preparation, operations and termination phases. The preparation phase will start when visibility falls below 1 500 M and/or ceiling is at or below 300 FT, and CAT II/IIIB operations are expected. The operations phase will start when RVR falls below 550 M and/or ceiling is below 200 FT.

LVP will be terminated when VIS is 800 M or more and ceiling is 200 FT or more, and a continuing improvement in these conditions is expected.

4.3   Other Information

When LVP are in operation, arriving aircraft will be vectored to intercept the ILS at least 10 NM from touchdown. ATC will provide suitable spacing between arrivals to achieve sufficient protection of the ILS sensitive area (see § 4.1.1 above). Landing clearance will normally be given not later than 2 NM from touchdown.

The traffic manager will determine the applicable traffic acceptance rate according to the circumstances.

AVGAS refuelling is not allowed during LVP.

CAT II and CAT III approach practice during normal operations is allowed, but pilots should be aware that protection of the ILS sensitive area cannot be guaranteed and fluctuations in the ILS signal may occur. Pilots will be informed by ATC when protection of the sensitive area is not provided.

5   VFR FLIGHTS
5.1   General

Unless instructed otherwise by Charleroi TWR, pilots shall use the VFR routes established for their benefit and they shall join the visual reporting points used for entering or leaving Charleroi CTR at the specified altitude.

Special VFR flights may be performed as specified in ENR 1.2, § 1.2

5.2   Visual Reporting Points

VFR traffic shall only use following reporting points.

5.5   Visual Circuit

Visual circuit of aircraft up to 6 T shall be flown at 1 500 FT AMSL, unless otherwise instructed by ATC, or requested by the pilot. Aircraft with a weight exceeding 6 T that intend to make visual circuits below 2 500 FT AMSL shall use left turn when RWY 06 is in use and right turn when RWY 24 is in use.

6   RADIO COMMUNICATION FAILURE

If an IFR flight does not succeed in landing within the 30 MIN normally allowed for approach and landing, it shall leave Charleroi CTR on a track of 248° MAG at 2 500 FT QNH MAX, and land at the first suitable aerodrome where the weather conditions allow a visual approach and landing.

VFR flights flying within the aerodrome traffic circuit shall make a full-stop landing. Other VFR flights shall leave the controlled airspace via the shortest way:

  • when north of the runway axis: via NW;
  • when south of the runway axis: via S.

For HPMA flight with alternate EBFS or EBBE:

  • Directly after the initial call, the pilot shall communicate his intended alternate airfield (EBFS or EBBE) in case of radio communication failure.
  • In VMC:
    • Squawk A/7600 and leave the controlled airspace via the VFR exit point as per the Visual Approach Chart AD 2 EBCI VAC.01
  • In IMC:

When rapidly changing weather conditions make it inadvisable to include a weather report in the ATIS broadcast, the weather data are omitted and replaced by the phrase “MET REPORT OMITTED DUE TO RAPID CHANGES”. The omitted data can be requested from ATC.

Pilots are requested to listen to the ATIS broadcast prior to the first contact with ATS. When establishing communication with the relevant ATS unit, the pilot shall acknowledge receipt of ATIS message with the phrase “INFORMATION ... [alphabetical designator] RECEIVED”. ATS will confirm the validity of the received alphabetical designator. If the designator has changed meanwhile, only the actually valid designator will be given.
