Hi Everyone,
So I am off to this nice airport. I thought you may like to see some Russian approach plates. A little different than the Jepps we are used to.

I should make it that at an interview I put these down and ask the person to brief an arrival into this airport. After the initial shock wears off they are pretty intuitive.

Enjoy.

P.S. I was going to upload the entire set but the file sizes are to large and I can't cut it down. If a MOD would like me to post all of the approach plates just let me know how it should be done. Take care.

I think knowing Russian would help with those!:)

Although once I got it right side up, the chart doesnt seem too bad.

Thanks for sharing!

I don't have adobe and can not re-save them to look proper. If anyone has the knowledge and desire to make the attachments look proper then be my guest. :)

Like I said pretty intuitive. Most important thing to remember is the following:
1. Everything is in Meters
2. Everything is in QFE
3. Some airports don't have the ability to give you QFE in Hpa and you get it in MM. Better be able to convert it.

Otherwise pretty straight forward. If I could upload the ILS approach there are a few interesting items there but the file is a bit to large.
 
Did you have to fly around with a Russian "navigator" for a bit before Mother Russia let you out on your own?
 
thats looks interesting to say the least. not too bad of a chart, just weird with the different measuring tools

So do russians not like to use vowels?

There are lots of vowels in there...you just have to know what a Russian vowel is. :insane: The airport title is Turuhansk, I believe. FSIflyer can correct me if I'm wrong. The "X" always messes me up!:D

There are only 5 letters from Russian that are equivalent to English... A, T, O, M, and K. The rest are not what you think they are!

Also, Jepps do not cover all of the Former Soviet Union. There are airports in the Ukraine where we have to have a translator on board (a company MD-80 Captain), and the plates looked like this. Definitely a weird feeling to be in a Lear 60 and not know everything that is being said. It's part of the job, though, and makes it interesting...
 
Like stonecold said Jepps don't cover all of Russia. I had a Russian pilot teach me Russian approach plates so I could understand what is happening. Inter-Russia trips at my company are handled by me as I speak, read, and write in Russian. I do not have a navigator with me but ATC is accomodating, once they get to know you a bit.

As for the alphabet, yes there are plenty of vowels. The airport is in fact Turukhansk and it is way up north in the Siberian tundra. It is about a 4 hour flight north-east of Moscow.
Currently I am in this town on a layover. Once I get home I will post some pictures. Its more of a village than anything else
