Procedures
Manned Aviation – EBST Sint-Truiden
Visual reporting points
During UAS operation it could be requested by “BRUSTEM radio” to enter and/or exit the SINT-TRUIDEN ATZ via following visual reporting points:
- POINT ECHO:
- Position: 50° 48’ 18.16”N 005° 19’ 50.22”E
- Associated landmark: Village of Borgloon
- POINT SIERRA:
- Position: 50° 44’ 22”N 005° 07’ 27”E
- Associated landmark: Road/railway crossing south of village of Gingelom
Arrival procedure
- No UAS operations: overhead at 2000 Ft AMSL to join the circuit at circuit altitude
- During simultaneous operations of aircraft and UAS (above 150 FT): see image
- Avoid the SINT-TRUIDEN ATZ area west/northwest of the RWY axis
-
“Brustem Radio” will provide arrival information before entering the SINT-TRUIDEN ATZ to proceed via entry point ECHO or SIERRA.
- Visiting/arriving aircraft should join the circuit at the entry of the downwind leg:
- Direct entry, when entry of downwind leg is closest to the entry point
- Using the airspace outside the circuit pattern whenever a positioning turn is required.
- Altitude
- At entry point: 2000 FT AMSL
- At entry of downwind leg: circuit altitude
Departure procedure
- No UAS operations: no restrictions
- During simultaneous operations of aircraft and UAS (above 150FT): see image
- DAC will provide departing information on “BRUSTEM Radio” before take-off to proceed via exit point ECHO or SIERRA.
- Avoid the SINT-TRUIDEN ATZ area west/northwest of the runway axis.
- Leave the circuit, following the recommendation of the DAC at the crosswind leg or at the end of the downwind leg, whichever is closest to the exit point, towards the exit point.
- Climb to and remain at circuit altitude until past the exit point
Circuit procedures
RWY 24
Left hand circuit
- Circuit altitude: PROP & HEL: 1200 FT AGL (1450 FT AMSL) – Outer circuit
- ULM: 1000 FT AGL (1250 FT AMSL) – Inner circuit
Taxi departure
- Use taxiway till holding point RWY 24
- Engine checks at the holding bay east of the threshold RWY 24
Circuit
- Line up threshold 24 R
- After take-off climb runway axis till circuit altitude before turning to the crosswind leg or to leave the circuit
- Remain at circuit altitude in downwind and avoid the villages of KERKOM, AALST, MIELEN-BOVEN-AALST and the military campus of SAFFRAANBERG
- Turn base-leg op 45° of the threshold RWY 24, start descend at own convenience
- Turn final at own discretion
Taxi arrival
- Backtrack on the runway until the threshold RWY 24
- Taxi back via the taxiway towards the aprons of Hangars 41 or 43 when clear of outgoing traffic
RWY 06
Right hand circuit
- Circuit altitude: PROP & HEL: 1200 FT AGL (1450 FT AMSL) – Outer circuit
- ULM: 1000 FT AGL (1250 FT AMSL) – Inner circuit
Taxi departure
- Use taxiway till holding point RWY 24
- Engine checks at the holding bay east of the threshold RWY 24
- Backtrack on the runway only when runway is free of landing and departing aircraft
Circuit
- Backtrack on the runway and line up at the threshold 06
- After take-off climb runway axis till circuit altitude before turning to the crosswind leg or to leave the circuit
- Remain circuit altitude in downwind and avoid the military campus of SAFFRAANBERG, the villages of AALST, MIELEN-BOVEN-AALST and KERKOM
- Turn base-leg at 45° of the threshold RWY 06, start descend at own convenience
- Turn final at own discretion
Taxi arrival
- Roll out on the runway until the threshold RWY 24
- Taxi back via the taxiway
- Taxi to the aprons when clear of outgoing traffic.
