Received from the local Federation of Aeroclubs:
a pilot is not required to use the flight plan when planning FLTs from the Schengen area into non-controlled airspace in the Belgian part of the Brussels FIR.Apparently this is part of the Belgian SERA implementation. It is the first time I see “Schengen” as a deciding factor for flight plan obligation.
I think our German neighbours might chuckle we are making some progress, coming on par with intelligent countries like Czechia and Poland…
BTW at the same time, all civilian CTR’s in EBBU FIR have become class D airspace, they always were class C. I don’t think it will make a lot of difference.
