Cleared to LED

Have you ever heard about the northern capital of Russia? 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. Get your favorite aircraft ready to experience the busy airspace of Saint Petersburg! Enjoy professional ATC service provided top-down at Pulkovo Airport (ULLI/LED) every even Thursday of the month from 16 to 20 UTC.
