Minus 24 C! Brrrrr!!!
Anybody know what the OBST PT OBSC remark means?
EHM-2131 Bruce:
HI .. I think OBST = obstacle and OBSC = obscure/obscured/ obscuring.... so that should be obstacle PT obscured... regards BruceT
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
We think the same, Bruce. :)
In the Russian AIP (http://aviadocs.net/aip/html/eng.htm), GEN 2.2 says OBST = Obstacle. I interpreted OBSC as obscured. Maybe PT means partly, or an indication of some obstacle. Can't find an obstacle "PT", though.
Obstacle chart shows an obstacle at ~4600 m from rwy07, so with visibility at 4500, that is probably what the METAR is trying to warn about.

I now have FS9, FSX, and X-Plane 9.7 running on my notebook, incluing (X)FSUIPC, and Flogger.
Now, before trying the next leg from the couch in front of the TV, next to the wife, I tried to fly the An-148 with the arrow keys on that tiny 10" widescreen.
Lucky those Antonovs have a sturdy landing gear! My attempt looked a bit like this real life footage:
