Dear pilots,

We are coming back with news about Cross VATRUS 2023!

We are ready to announce the first day of the largest VATRUS event in several years.

We start on Saturday, at 0900 UTC, September 30, in Kaliningrad. There are 4 legs waiting for us on this day.

Kaliningrad UMKK - Minsk UMMS
Minsk UMMS - Saint Petersburg ULLI
Saint Petersburg ULLI - Moscow Sheremetyevo UUEE
Moscow Sheremetyevo UUEE - Samara UWWW

And, of course, we have prepared something new. Throughout the entire Cross VATRUS, pilot booking will work, which guarantees you a minimum of delays and the opportunity to fly as many legs as you wish.

Be sure to book your flight using this link

You will see the time of each leg on the booking page.
Booking will close on Friday, September 29, at 1700 UTC.

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 board. 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 due to boards 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 boards 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.
