Hey all,
Thanks very much for the input. Very helpfull indeed.
There are several traps I have found wrt Russia - I only overfly but I would like to fully understand the various differences as many of our ETOPS diverts are in Russia.
Phantom Flyer, thankyou for your kind offer but I have tracked down a few different decode sources and I think I have it covered. The only one I cant find in print is the mountain obscured. Not to worry.
Another Russian METAR code is SARA 31 RUMS. And also Q10 BJS AGCA
Any ideas?
thanks again.
