"Western Russia" VATRUS region includes the territory of the Republic of Belarus - Zonal Center Minsk, as well as the territory of the Regional ATM Centers Moscow and Samara in the Russian Federation.

The region is notable for the fact that flights in Belarus are carried out in accordance with international ICAO documents, and in Russia - in accordance with the Federal Aviation Rules. This imposes some features of the work, including slightly different separation minimums.

However, throughout the region, radio communications can be conducted both in Russian and in English.

The heads of the three centers are independently managed and their contacts can be found on the FIR pages below.
