Due to some missing information in the Belgium Weekend Airspace files, which has caused some severe airspace violations by pilots who were too confident about the previous database, a new version has now been generated which you can find in attachment. It also has been uploaded on the valuable site of the Dutch CLR, animated by Maurits Dortu:
http://www.luchtruim.zweefportaal.nl/asbdb.htmThese airspace files are current ONLY outside military activity, and include the LFA G areas specially created for gliding activity above 4500' AMSL, when military activities are in surveillance mode, generally after 17h local time and during weekend and bank holidays (but not always! - read notams, or check activity as described below).
The file thus considers LFA G1 to be activated for flying, curently from 4500 ft AMSL till FL50 included.
The gliding sectors LFA G2 West, North and South, from FL55 till FL70 included have been defined D class airspace, so that alarm will be triggered when climbing into these airspace. The pilot may elect to disable this airspace alarm for this particular zone in SeeYou Mobile for one day, when it is cleared for gliding.
The LFA G5 airspace, from FL75 till FL90 included only has been defined as W-airspace, but the pilot will have an alarm by the overlapping Class C Brussels LCA. Attention: AIRSPACE ABOVE FL95 is not described, as this airspace is NEVER accessible for gliding, unless transponder equipped and cleared by Brussels Control
Availibility of the LFA G zones may be verified at the website of the Flemish Gliding Ligue:

I highly recommend that the SeeYou team translate this information in cub-files asap to avoid contradictory information -
which has been promptly done - thx!We are still working on a practical file for the situation during military activity, but basically you should only fly through Belgium at least with an up to date VFR map and in contact with Brussels Information 126.900, while the carriage of a transponder is highly recommended, but not a guarantee to airspace access.
