Dear pilots,

We are coming back with news about Cross VATRUS 2024!

For the second year in a row, we are hosting the largest event in VATRUS. We start on Saturday, 0700 UTC, October 26, in Magadan.

There are 3 legs waiting for us on this day. Magadan UHMM - Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk UHSS - Khabarovsk UHHH - Yakutsk UEEE

As last year, the pilot booking will be available throughout the event

You will see the time of each leg on the booking page.

Of course, booking will give huge advantages.

The call sign, which is indicated in the booking, will not be able to book other participants of the event, but will be able to pick up those who do not participate in it. A hint is written about this next to the "Call Sign" column.

The time indicated in the booking is the time of departure of the first and arrival of the last slot. The slot can be assigned to any time in this interval. A hint is written about this next to the "Leg" column

Slots are assigned as EOBT (Estimated Off Block Time) - the time at which the aircraft should start start-up or push-back. It is not necessary to push out exactly in a minute. This can be done 5 minutes before and 10 minutes after the slot time.

There are 2 requirements for the aircraft participating in the event: the aircraft on the cruise at minimum Mach .75 and max .Mach 99 (Concorde and Tu-144 are not suitable). The rest of the aircraft are allowed.

After your slot application is reviewed and the time is set, an email with the slot time, route and airport features will be sent to the email linked to the VATSIM account. Also, the time of all your slots will be displayed on the booking site.

If you decide not to fly on the route provided in the slot, the slot may be canceled and there may be delays at the arrival airport because of booked traffic with slots, since they have priority.

If you decide to fly without a slot, there may be delays at the departure and arrival airports due to high amount of traffic with slots.

If you are late for your slot time, you will be assigned the next free slot (it may be in an hour or more). Also, the slots of the following legs will be transferred.
