Numerous Belgocontrol installations, scattered over the Belgian territory, serve as a tool for air traffic controllers to perform their guidance task and for pilots. Amongst them, we can distinguish radio navigation systems, radar systems and communication systems. Belgocontrol is responsible for the correct functioning of this equipment, which can be influenced by physical obstacles or by equipment that makes use of electromagnetic waves.
Furthermore, Belgocontrol must also observe worldwide guidelines concerning obstacle free zones in the arrival and departure zones and safety areas around the airports.
The urbanism service is responsible for external communication with people, firms and government services that wish to establish buildings, constructions or installations on a place that possibly poses a risk to aviation.
