This was the only international airport in Belgium where I have not had a visit before, and during the previous months the runway and most taxiways got resurfaced, so it was time to go! Furthermore, I have NEVER flown over the Belgian coast before, which is almost unbelievable with "so many" hours in my logbook. The flight there was pretty uneventful, the landing all right, but I very much enjoyed taxiing behind a follow-me car to my parking spot on the apron in Oostende (which was also a first in my pilot career). I knew that visiting aircraft get this treatment here, so I was looking forward to it, and it was as cool as imagined ;) After a long chat with the friendly ground personnel, I walked across the dunes and along the coast to the new casino building in Middelkerke and back, enjoying the warm weather. On my way back to base I flew along the coast to Blankenberge, then took the shortest way towards Charleroi - passing over the historic city of Bruges. At EBCI I got to race (and defeat) a Ryanair to land after a direct - very - short final, and vacate to the left already at Sierra 4 (the first exit to the left), which I don't think I have ever done before (or maybe with an instructor very early in a Sonaca 200, but I am not sure). After all it was again a flight of a lot of firsts: landing at EBOS, follow-me car, flying along the coast, and direct short final followed by an expedited runway exit at S4. It was a fun afternoon, enjoy the video record of it! 00:00 Start-up and requesting taxi from EBCI Ground 01:17 Ready for departure at S4 (waiting for a WizzAir to land) 01:45 Line-up and wait RWY 24 02:12 Take-off EBCI RWY 24 02:50 Vacating the axis (traffic behind) and after take-off flow 03:12 Leaving the CTR overhead NW and checking in with Brussels Information 03:57 Preparing frequencies (staying ahead of the airplane) 04:06 Traffic information from Brussels FIS (overhead The Sloping Lock of Ronquières) 04:35 Welcome message and in-flight briefing for today 05:05 Geraardsbergen area 05:41 Arrival briefing for EBOS 06:05 Listening to (inaudible, via Bluetooth) the ATIS of EBOS and briefing it out loud 06:53 Contacting Oostende Approach (Zendstation Egem visible on the wing view) 07:44 Approaching TURUT and then direct to the field (via GESPO) 07:58 Hand-over to EBOS Tower (small phraseology mistake: not reading back the zero...) 08:47 Starting to configure the aircraft for landing (direct left base) 09:06 Beginning of left base - continue approach 09:46 Before landing checks and turning final 10:18 Cleared to land - followed by some turbulence on final 10:58 Landing EBOS RWY 26 10:24 Instructions to vacate the runway to D1 11:50 Hand-over to EBOS GND for taxi instructions 12:24 After landing flow and taxi to Apron 3 13:25 Follow-me car! 13:50 Marshaller guidance and my first hand signal ever (brakes set) 14:09 Shut-down 14:22 Listening to the ATIS before departure back to Charleroi (seagulls in the background) 14:37 Requesting start-up from EBOS GND (via handheld to save the batteries) 15:00 Engine start (and some after start and before taxi checks) 15:25 Requesting taxi from EBOS GND 15:49 Taxi to holding point C1 RWY 26 17:13 Ready for departure (hand-off to TWR) 17:37 Cleared for take-off and the requested routing after departure 18:10 Take-off EBOS RWY 24 18:44 After take-off flow and turning to follow the coast with great views back to the field 19:23 Hand-over to EBOS APP 20:00 Views of Oostende city (and other places along the Belgian coast) 20:34 Blankenberge and turning towards Brugge 21:13 Views of Brugge 21:53 Leaving the TMA of Oostende (contact with Brussels FIS not shown) 22:04 Some immediate debriefing of the visit 22:21 Abeam Ursel (EBUL) 22:43 Thinking about how much time flying can take (especially with cameras and so...) 23:18 Requesting landing instructions from EBCI Tower 23:42 Spotting the arriving Ryanair that is about to be Number 2 behind me ;) 24:02 Direct short final 24:55 Cleared to land and expedite vacating 25:13 A very unusual view from "base" 25:31 Turning very short final (with passenger terminal views) 26:07 Landing EBCI RWY 24 26:31 Vacating the runway - taxi approved by friendly controller :) 26:56 After landing flow and taxi in with a wing view of the just landed Ryanair 27:25 Short debrief
