Russia
Moscow Ring Road
Fly clockwise along the magnificent ring road surrounding Moscow. Despite the number of waypoints, this flight can be flown visually in just 3 steps:
- 1. Fly HDG 113 for 6 nm to pick up the ring road at WP 1
- 2. Follow the highway
- 3. At WP7 you will see the river junction to your right (the same as in 'Gremlins in the Kremlin'), turn HDG 342 for 5nm to the airport.
As with all the 'follow the road' flights, most of the interesting sights will be to your left and right. In this case Moscow will be to your right, so feel free to break off and explore any points of interest, knowing you can always follow the ring road back to WP7 and the airport.
The RWY ALT is 612 feet, so a good default cruising altitude would be 1,600 ft.
