Sep 29th: Agadir earthquake
An earthquake occured in Agadir and Morocco needs help for lots of victims. So, if you can help us carrying emergency and first aid materials , we'll appreciate it.
The earthquake has destroyed some vital parts of Agadir Al Massira (GMAD) and the ILS system is not yet available, so only visual approaches are possible. And as final part of runway 28 has been damaged, the useable part is reduced to 6600 feet. So only light and medium aircrafts can land in GMAD.
The event will take place on September 29th from 16:00 to 20:00 UTC. Full ATC coverage (GMMM_CTR, GMAD_APP and GMAD_TWR) will be provided.
Charts and procedures for GMAD are available at http://www.vacc-morocco.org/GMAD/enGMAD.html

Sep 16th: The Velvet Season
Summer moved on and a cold wind blows on the face, scattering the yellowing
leaves on a still green grass. The sky is lowering, vacations have been left somewhere in the past, the only reminder a vivid photo folder in your computer. But in the south of Russia the noble "velvet seasion" of September is coming. Peacefully and proudly the Don river flows on the Rostov plains. On the vast expanses of Kuban the stars glimmering in the middle of the warm evenings. Merrily the sea wave runs to the Black Sea beaches. In the south of Russia the summer is still going on and you can participate in that!!
On 22nd September 2007, at 13.00-18.00 UTC, the best of VATRUS
controllers will organise a full-staff ATC in the main airports of the
south: Rostov-on-Don (URRR), Sochi (URSS) and Krasnodar (URKK). Other airports within Rostov FIR and adjacent centers in Ukraine in Russia support us.
