Pulkovo overload

Welcome to Saint Petersburg!

Dear friends,

We are glad to invite you to Pulkovo overload for an exciting evening of flying!

On Saturday, November 18, from 15 to 19z our controllers will meet in a single room in order to provide you with ATC coverage to explore northwestern Russia airspace.

Located at 59º57' North, Saint Petersburg shares its latitude with Oslo in Norway, the southern tip of Greenland and Seward in Alaska. With over 5.5 million inhabitants, it is the largest city this far north. Climatically the city is influenced by both the cold continental tundra of Russia to the east and the balancing effect of the Baltic Sea to the west. The confluence of these two forces creates a humid continental climate of short, warm, humid summers and long, cold winters.

Fly into Saint Petersburg or depart to any other airport with your favorite aircraft to enjoy your visit to the Northern capital of Russia!

Sincerely,

ATCOs of Saint Petersburg
