Join the Anchorage ARTCC and DAL Control for our international Cross the Bering event on Saturday, May 14th, 2016. The event will begin at 2100 EDT (1700 AKDT) and run 5 hours in length. The routing will be from Anchorage (PANC) to Anadyr (UHMA).

Anadyr is a small city that serves as the administrative center for the Chukotka region, Russia. As a port town it is also the closest city of population to it’s eastern neighbor of Alaska. In the last few years Anadyr has seen a revitalization that is slowly transforming the city into a vibrant and cultured destination. No Visa required, so load up on caviar and vodka because customs officials have the day off.

Routing:
        RNAV capable aircraft - FFITZ3 FFITZ J111 MCG H222 VALDA G212 LUNAD
        Non RNAV or low altitude (10,000 minimum altitude) CMQ A1 FDV G212 LUNAD

A note about time. The event takes place on Sunday, May 15th from 0100-0600 Zulu. This is because of the time/date change necessary for the pilots and controllers in Russia. DAL Control (Russian) controllers will only be staffed from 0200-0600 Zulu because of the time zone issue.
