You are right. I hope Maiano can join too :)

Route for leg 3 is simple:
USPP (0.0nm) -DCT-> MH (133.9nm) -STAR-> USSS (192.0nm)

If we continue on to USTR...
USSS SID AR G358 MANEB A300 TALIK DCT USTR,
good for 161nm.

So, David and I flew leg 3 yesterday, and we decided to leave leg 4 for next Monday.
We'll be flying USSS-USTR Monday, the 2nd of Januari 2012, from 2000Z.

Everybody is welcome to join, the more the marrier!  :D

Contrary to the route I posted before, I think we should file
USSS SOPUS A927 GIBUL USTR
that way we'll have ourselves some decent SIDs and STARs.
See http://aviadocs.net/aip/html/eng.htm for charts ;)

Yesterday, it was Leg05 for David and myself. Then, out of the blue, Bruce joined the party ;)
OK, he initially picked the same spot as I did ;D, but that got solved soon...

We all had some internet/IVAO server/IvAp connection issues for a bit. So when it came down to taxiing, David was "lost" for a minute.

But all three of us got airborne in the end, and, with a couple of disruptions, ended up in USTR together.

After a SUPOL1A departure from 08L, a sort stretch to GIBOL, and descend already. Cruise level was about 6500m (FL210-ish), because there was no more time to climb!
I chose the NDB03 approach, because the METAR said wind from 090. Only 3 to 7 kts, so that was the most straight-in approach with a headwind component. But actually, when low and close to the runway, it appeared that I had a 15 kt tailwind! On my approach, I was a bit high. Trying to loose speed and altitude, I swerved left and right a bit too much to end up on the runway, so in the end I opted to go-around. With the other guys on my tail, I was now number 3 to land, and after a near-perfect holding pattern as published, I had a very smooth (-99fpm) landing. A bit far down the runway, perhaps, but here was runway length plenty for this nimble little jet.

All gathered at the apron of USTR, it was time for the traditional group picture. SMILE!
A nice start of the 2012 flight season.


We (David and myself) will fly the next leg, leg06, USTR-UNOO, on Monday January 9th, 2000Z.
So if you want to be in the next group picture ...

Route for tomorrow:
USTR DCT ISKET A305 OL B236 BUNET DCT UNOO

A simple, more or less straight line of some 300nm. A relatively short hop again. Should be done in about an hour :)

Startup is planned for 2000Z, so all  of you join us, if you can!

Yesterday, another leg of the Trans Siberian Tour with David and Bruce :)

Not much wind to take into account, but very low temperatures, and some fog at UNOO (minus 20 deg C, vis. 3 km). I had set the time to actual time - 12 hours, so I would have daylight for these pictures.

Bruce had a bit of an identity crisis at the start:



but he managed to be an Antonov 148 as we grouped at the holding point :P


on to rwy 21, IS1A departure


During the flight, we had some formation flying moments ;)


and some nice clouds ...


Sooner than I expected, we were at TOD already. Actually, I fully missed TOD, and started descend way too late.
So I did a holding pattern ove RM, plus an extended one while descending to IILS07 intercepting altitude


My friends had already safely parked their planes on the ramp as I flew on foggy finals


3nm out, and still no runway... You just have to rely on instruments here.

The group picture on the destination apron is getting to be a tradition ;D


A very nice flight, thank you gentlemen!

Next week, another leg in this continuing story of the Trans Siberia Event
-You can be in the next report too ... ;) -

Route for tomorrow:

UNOO LUSOV ABESA B944 GOLIM UNNT

Good for some 350 nm, so I'm planning FL250 (to help my descend planning a bit, if I'm late again ;))

See you then, D.!
And I hope Bruce will be able to join in as well.

Anybody else can join too, you know. You don't need to be flying the Event, or PP, just show up (on IVAO) and flapper along ;)

Sorry David, I have to cancel as well :( :(

I have baby sitting duty until my wife gets home from work, and apparently that is going to be very late today...
So I do have a little time to type this on my laptop, but I cannot "lock myself up" in the study (where my FS PC is).

You fly the leg already, and I will fly whenever I can. Don't know exactly when that will be yet...

I hope you see this in a reasonable time ...

HI .. I think OBST = obstacle and OBSC = obscure/obscured/ obscuring.... so that should be obstacle PT obscured...  regards BruceT

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:

No, this is not a near head-on collision ;P
Half way through last leg of the Trans Siberia event, looking to my right rear, I see David's contrails following me.
Typical setup, with GPS, IvAp, Chat window, TCAS, panel view and outside view, all together;)
Busy screen!

On a snowy UNKL apron, after a go-around on my behalf, because the AP decided I wanted to go the 108 degree radial outbound KRS for rwy11...

Next Monday, we'll try to catch up with the others by flying 2 legs in one evening (that is going to be a late one for me, but what the heck :) )
Will post routes here during the weekend.

Yep, see you then  :D

We will leave at 2000Z sharp, because we have quite some distance to cover.
Leg1, UNKL - UIII:
UNKL BALUT ATREG R497 RO A310 BD UIII

Leg 2, UIII - UIUU
UIII GOLOS A810 KUDAR A806 UNARA OSTUN UIUU

Only thing is: OSTUN is not in the default FS9 scenery (it is in FSX; not sure about X-plane), so we'll have to wing it, as far as STARs are concerned ;)
It even means that it is not recognised by my Laptop FSC install, because I had that one run against the FS9 database. Will see soon if my regular PC install of FSC will recognise OSTUN...
