Dear pilots,

Maybe you have heard about previous events in Real-Ops format? During last two year we had succesfully provided 5 Real-Ops: two at Domodedovo, two at Vnukovo, and only one at Sheremetyevo. Being the largest Russian airport, Sheremetyevo had to take the next Real-Ops, which had to end the second cycle. But today we announcing the greatest Real-Ops you have ever seen in Russia. Welcome to the Moscow Real-Ops 2019!

At the April, 28th we are glad to meet you over the Moscow - the capital of Russia! Russian controllers will staff 3 major airports - Sheremertyevo (UUEE), Vnukovo (UUWW) and Domodedovo (UUDD). You also can fly from and to smaller airports. One of them is Zhukovsky (UUBW). It is situated near Domodedovo and have become the 4th airport in Moscow TMA some years ago. ATC will be provided from 12 till 17 UTC.

At Zhukovsky you can book every flight from 24-hour sсhedule at time you want. It's allowable to change aircraft types for the same class, e.g. Airbus A319/320/321 within the family or for Boeing 737 family.

Get your charts ready and pour a spare tonn of fuel in your tank - the queues may be so long due to traffic congestion.

We usually use RNAV SIDs and STARs in Moscow airports. Be ready to execute them. If your aircraft for any reason does not provide RNAV, do not forget to report it to the ATC!

Please, update your navigation database to AIRAC cycle 1904. There are a lot of changes.

In Russia (except three airports), QFE and meters below the transition level are still used. The conversion table of heights and altitudes by QFE and QNH you can find here. Pay attention that controller will give you QFE and height in meters and you should convert them according to the table before set it on MCP.
