IVAO Belgium

IVAO Rules and Regulations: "4.4.5 - On the IVAO network Hi-jacking, war simulation and all other forms of aggression are not allowed. (IVAO Rules and regulations.)"

Special operations will be divided in two categories. Those called "General SO" the other we will refer to as "Military SO"

For more info we would like to refer to the General Procedures Document which can be found under Procedures

Navy
	The Belgian Navy Flight consists of Alouette II and Alouette III Helicopters which are mainly used for SAR missions as well as link between the naval fleet and the mainland. The main base in Belgium is Koksijde EBFN. The Navy Flight is a sub unit of the well-known 40th Helicopter Squadron. From 6 to 8 months per year, at least one, and sometimes two, of our three helicopters are detached on board BNS Godetia, the logistic support vessel of the Belgian Navy.
Search & Rescue
	The Belgium Search and Rescue Organisation is part of the 40th Helicopter Division which is based in Koksijde EBFN. SAR Belgium use Sikorsky S58-C and Westland Seaking MK48 Helicopters to provide air rescue at sea and on land as well. Helicopters saved already thousands of lifes as it's the fastest way to secure people in distress.
Police
	The Belgium Police operates Aircraft and Helicopters to guarantee safety to the citizens by controlling the traffic situations on the main highways as well as searching for disappeared persons or goods and tracing illegal operations.
Airforce
	After the Second World War and more precisely on the 15th of October 1946, Belgium decided to turn the Belgian military aviation into an autonomous force, independent of the Army. This decision was taken, after the contribution of the air weapon in the final victory had been assessed and thanks to the impetus given by many Belgians who became famous within the "Belgian Squadrons" of the Royal Air Force.

NOTE:

Particular care should be taken for any type of Special Operation to be in accordance with IVAO rule 6.4. - Special Operations.“6.4.1 - Under special operations we categorize all aviation other than civil aviation. Examples are coastguard, rescue- and military aviation. This kind of aviation is part of the real world and therefore part of the simulation. Not allowed on IVAO are simulations of terrorism and acts of war. Although terrorism and war exists in the real world we do not allow the simulation of any kind of aggression or armed violence on our network. For further information on this issue see the rules and regulations for Special Operations”. Under no circumstance, Special Operations will justify reckless behaviour that may hinder other pilots during their normal course of flight. The Special Operations procedures and regulations are as close as possible to reality, taking into account IVAO rules. They should be respected at all times and no military activity can EVER be used as an excuse to break them! The Spec Ops shall NEVER be used to simulate a war situation!!
