Flying Our Plane to Russia Did NOT Go As Planned
Рет қаралды 1,152,279
4 жыл бұрынFlying the Bonanza to Russia did not go as expected. We crossed the ocean in a small plane, dealt with inflight icing, and I've never been happier to hand fly an instrument approach to minimums in pouring rain at midnight.

Where is arrogance? They did research, took advice from others who had flown there previously, had passports and Visas in order, filed a flight plan, received clearance into the airspace, clearance to land, and followed instructions. What is arrogant about any of that? The only crazy thing about the flight in my opinion, was flying over that much water (especially frigid water) in a single-engine plane.

I could see how this might happen if they decided to do this on a whim. If they were already familiar with the requirements to visit Russia I can see how it wouldn’t occur to someone that different parts of the country have different immigration requirements. That’s not a thing that really exists in the US and it’s not common in other parts of the world either. But regardless they still should have least try to google the city before hand.

Yes, I was listening to his summary before deciding to take to the air and wondered what contacts and experience he had in Russia and with Russian airspace. I was hoping that those basics were just being left out of the video, but apparently not if no one told him about even basic legal and entry issues. :-/ Europeans often take a dim view of American presumption, and this seems like one fairly good example of why. Experienced aircraft ferrying pilots are well aware of these potential issues and how to plan for this type of adventure. Train, be mentored, then fly the route.

His entry into Russia via the airport was not illegal. The problem was crossing the water on the ferry to the town, which was in a "closed" part of Russia (that was not some military zone). I can't really think of any equivalent scenario in the U.S. or most other countries except maybe flying into China and then trying to cross into Tibet without the additional travel permits. I guess once Brexit finally goes through, the same thing could happen if you flew into Europe legally, landed at an airport in the Republic of Ireland and unknowingly took a cab into Northern Ireland.

At the time, I was hard on the Russians. Now I realize how shocking it was for them, because here on KZfaq, some older American express shock and even disapproval because, in this country, very young people can fly planes for pleasure, and even start businesses that allow them to afford it. iMaybe Matt should have announced, "We are from Mars. We come in peace." then laughed, passed out few bottles of Jack Daniels, and offered to sit down and show them some relevant videos showing young people flying around the US and the world, and answer any questions. Well, maybe someone with Russian connections should have done that in advance.

I just got back from a few weeks in Russia and loved it. Had no issues and everyone I talked to or asked for help with something, more than accommodating. Few rules for certain areas, sure there are, like in the UK or the US. You went into a restricted special permission area, probably military, with no permit and with cameras strapped to your wings, not surprised you get a little welcome party and a few questions. At the end of the day it worked out well; I think most of the drama was self generated!

The experiences of people who've *actually* been to Russia are almost always the exact opposite of what the shills in the media tell you.

I'm an international student in Russia. I have been for almost four years. Russian bureaucracy. Two words. Of course those who came before you also broke the law. But there are a lot of reasons why they might not have been treated like you were. After previous visits, it's possible the immigration officers got into trouble with their supervisors and in your case, needed to throw the whole book at you. It's possible different staff were working on the day… Anything. Russian migration law is complicated, for example, you can't cross the road/railway border with Belarus unless you are a Belarusian or Russian citizen. Under Russian law you can go to Crimea with no special permission - but from a Ukrainian perspective you'll be entering the country illegally and risk being denied entry/visas or prison. The far east is a special zone. Yes :( I will say this, Russia has introduced free evisas for a few cities and regions and plans to expand the scheme for the whole country which should make visiting Russia easier. Although I'm not Russian, it wasn't easy to watch. I'm sorry it worked out that way. But rules are rules. The people who live here have to deal with them every day! Love your channel though. All the very best!

They almost always have a lot of border guards working, I've never waited longer than 10 minutes for the entire process, no big lines. Both Matt and his team and the local police (now looking more closely, not border guards) were obviously not prepared for their visit.

I flew across Russia twice in small planes with no problems except they did make me shoot the ILS at Anadyr on a clear day. Here's how. Get a flight handler. They line up border crossings, fuel, hotels and customs for you. There will always be an English speaker to meet you and take you where you need to go to get through customs and security. I have met and had lunch and dinner with the controllers and they are all excellent and very friendly people. Even the security guys were personable- "Are you carrying any guns? The correct answer is no." I think they were a little freaked because they didn't know you and you filed over towards the end of their day. A flight handler would have been a known representative for you. Nome weather is really unpredictable. Foggy all day and then suddenly patchy blue. They always make you go on the airway over 400 miles of Pacific Ocean, Bering Air started that.. G 212 was what they called it. Always ice somewhere in Russia, I had a lot of it. Once you get inside farther people start helping you out if there's an issue. And they want to meet you because sometimes you could be the only plane they get that month, but for sure because your western.

So... you go flying in England and apparently do no research on how to communicate with their ATC or what differences might be there. Then you go to Russia and fly into a restricted zone because you didn't do your research again. You absolutely should not be flying internationally...

Well, some day they may just get shot down by AA defenses/fighter jets for trespassing restricted airspace and ignoring warnings. Since there are limits on how many warnings you can receive, before military pilots have permission to use deadly force.
