In some cases, delegated air traffic services are provided in airspace belonging to the Amsterdam, Langen and Paris FIR and the France UIR. Details of such services are provided in section ENR 2.2. 2.1.2 ANA ANA is responsible for the provision of air traffic services within the territory of Luxembourg up to the upper limits of Luxembourg TMA One A and Luxembourg TMA One B.

In some cases, delegated air traffic services are provided in airspace belonging to the Amsterdam FIR, Paris FIR and France UIR. Details of such services are provided in section ENR 2.2. 3 TYPES OF SERVICES 3.1 Civil The following types of services are provided: • Flight Information Service (FIS) and Alerting Service (ALRS); • Area Control (ACC); • Approach Control (APP). AMDT 010/2020 © AIM BELGIUM 26-MAR-2020 AIP Belgium and Luxembourg GEN 3.3-3 26-MAR-2020 The following types of services are provided at aerodromes: • Aerodrome Control (TWR); • Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS); • Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS); • Alerting Service (ALRS); • ATS Reporting Office (ARO). At certain aerodromes basic information may be provided, consisting of advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights while not subject to an air traffic service. Basic information shall not be considered to be equivalent to FIS. It may include: • MET conditions; • changes in the serviceability of facilities; • AD conditions; • general airspace activity; • any other information likely to affect safety. 3.2 Military When providing a radar service, controllers will, immediately after having identified the aircraft, notify pilots of the service they are provided with. Depending on the traffic situation, controllers may change the type of service. They will notify pilots of this. Pilots are to note that they are not in receipt of a radar service, until they are formally identified and notified of the type of service. The following types of services are provided: 3.2.1 Radar Control (RC) Radar control is an air traffic control radar service in which pilots are given mandatory instructions to enable the prescribed separation minima from other traffic to be maintained. These instructions will generally be associated with information on the conflicting traffic. No changes of heading or level are to be made without prior approval of the controller. The provision of RC will normally be restricted to flights within controlled airspace. 3.2.2 TRA Service (TRAS) TRA Service is an air traffic control radar service in which pilots are given mandatory instructions in order to: • Keep participating traffic (VFR and IFR) inside the published limits of its assigned reserved area; • Enable the prescribed separation minima from other traffic to be maintained. IFR traffic will be separated from VFR traffic and vice versa using the radar separation minima. VFR traffic will be given traffic info towards other VFR traffic and traffic avoidance on request. Responsibility for separation between participating aircraft inside the TRA lies with the pilots. 'Participating aircraft' are those flights for which a specific area has been booked for simultaneous use. 3.2.3 Radar Information Service (RIS) Radar Information Service is an air traffic radar service provided to VFR flights, which assists pilots in their navigation. In class C airspace, the VFR traffic will be informed of bearing, distance and, if available, level of any conflicting VFR traffic or obstacle known to the controller. Traffic avoidance advice will be provided on request. The pilot is responsible for maintaining the prescribed separation. The controller has the authority to change the RIS into radar control to enable the prescribed separation minima to be maintained (VFR to IFR). In Class G airspace, the VFR traffic will be informed of bearing, distance and, if available, level of any conflicting VFR traffic or obstacle known to the controller. The pilot is responsible for maintaining the prescribed separation whether the controller has called the conflicting traffic or obstacle or not. 3.2.4 Flight Information Service (FIS) Flight Information Service is an air traffic service provided for the purpose of giving information for the safe and efficient conduct of flights. 3.2.5 Aerodrome Control Service Aerodrome control service is an air traffic control service that shall issue, with or without the use of radar, information, clearances and instructions for sequencing to aircraft to achieve a safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic on and in the vicinity of an aerodrome (pilots flying VFR are responsible for separation). © AIM BELGIUM AMDT 004/2020 26-MAR-2020 GEN 3.3-4 AIP Belgium and Luxembourg 26-MAR-2020 4 CO-ORDINATION BETWEEN THE OPERATOR AND ATS Co-ordination between the operator and ATS is effected in accordance with ICAO Annex 11, chapter 2 and ICAO Doc 4444, chapter 8. For operational reasons, Belgian Defence may use non ICAO compliant procedures. 5 MINIMUM FLIGHT ALTITUDE No ATS route within the Brussels FIR has a lower limit falling below the minimum flight altitude as determined in accordance with ICAO Doc 8168, Volume I, Part I, Section 5, § 1.4 and ICAO Doc 8168, Volume II, Part II, Section 3, § 1.3 and § 1.5.

    15-JUL-2021 AIP Belgium and Luxembourg GEN 4.2-1 15-JUL-2021 GEN 4.2 Air Navigation Services Charges 1 SKEYES 1.1 Amount of the Charges Skeyes levies a charge for each take-off in the charging zone of EBBR, the amount of which is equal to the product of the formula: α U x Wi x Ei x Di x Oi x in which: • “U” is the unit rate; •“Wi” is the number of chargeable terminal service units of this flight; •“Ei” is the environmental factor of this flight; •“Di” is the day/night factor of this flight; •“Oi” is the ATS optimisation factor of this flight; • “i” identification of the individual flight; •“α” is the compensation coefficient (set to 1.028311 for 2021) allowing to offset the revenue surplus or deficit due to the application of factors E, O and D. U: the unit rate (U) is set at 185.39 EUR for 2021. W: the number of terminal service units (W) equals the weight factor for the aircraft concerned. The weight factor, expressed according to Annex V of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) nr. 391/2013 as a figure taken to two decimal places, shall be the quotient, obtained by dividing by fifty the number of metric tons in the highest maximum certified take-off weight of the aircraft, referred to in Annex IV point 1.5 of the Regulation, to the power of 0.7. E: the environmental factor (E) is determined according to the noise categories of the aircraft and equals: • 0.85 for CAT A; • 0.90 for CAT B; • 0.95 for CAT C; • 1.05 for CAT D; • 1.20 for CAT E; • 1.70 for CAT F.

  • Skeyes Evaluates Application of New Drone Legislation
    PRESS RELEASE Friday 18 June 2021 skeyes evaluates application of new drone legislation On 31 December 2020, the new European regulations on drones came into force. These have far- reaching consequences for air traffic. After six months, skeyes will make an initial evaluation. The new regulations turned the drone world upside down: from now on it is easier to fly drones in Belgian airspace except in certain secure zones. skeyes is responsible for drone access to the zones around the civilian Belgian airports. Information In the run-up to the entry into force, skeyes informed the air traffic controllers extensively about the new regulations and the new operational procedures that were developed as a result to ensure the safety of all air traffic. Any adjustment in the airspace requires a lot of preparation, consultation and training before it can be applied. Professional and recreational drone users were informed through various channels about the changes to the online tool and mobile app Drone Service Application, which allows them to request and monitor their drone flights in the zones managed by skeyes. DSA automates and facilitates the whole process from request to flight for both pilots and air traffic controllers within these zones. Safety measures After six months, skeyes will review the new functioning on the basis of the experiences during this initial period. Special attention will be paid to air traffic control around Brussels Airport. That is where the air traffic at lower altitudes is most intensive. It is not only drones that are involved, but also and especially helicopters. Both types of aircraft are used by various (government) bodies for all kinds of events in and around the capital, for inspection flights of all sorts of pipes that are present in large numbers in urban areas, or for security operations.
