Russian VFR rules have changed?
Apparently, the rules concerning VFR flights in Russia have changed recently. They now allow VFR flights in G airspace, however the maps have still not been published, and there is a very strong suspicion that everything West of the Urals will be class A airspace, and some parts of airspace to the East will be G, or some other nonsense like this, which will render this new legislation ineffective.
Anton - do you have a view?
Also, if anyone is considering a trip to Russia, and needs a Russian speaker to share costs, flying etc (PPL,IMC, 300 p1 hours), I would love to come!

Also, can anyone share some experience of flying VFR to Ukraine?

Flying in Russia: change in Russian legislation
Good evening everybody,
I reactivate 1 year after this interesting discussion. I postponed my trip to St Petersburg to 2011 but now I am almost ready for it.
I heard that the Russian legislation has changed recently (early 2011) to harmonize with other European regulations. Does it apply to IFR only, or to VFR also? Can anybody, Anton or somebody else confirm or infirm this information?
Thanks and regards!
