ASA FO's Landing in EYW

[IFlyFL410]

I've been away from work for awhile. When did they raise the restriction on FO's landing down there!?!?!?

Walkers is always fun!!! Land east, stand on the brakes, up the little hill, hard right and there you are, parking on the boat launching ramp!!!

I always hated landing 27 since it was sort of down slope

however, walkers was one of my fav. places to fly into. Beautiful!

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Try taking off & landing at Walker's Cay, Bahamas (MYAW) in a 402. 2,500 feet and not a foot longer because the ocean is on both sides with bull sharks at both ends also

Thank you Univ. of Miami for setting up a feeding station there to study sharks:laugh:

but yes, in a jet going out of key west is challenging also happy landings all

I used to go into Walkers three times a week a few years back. Fun place isn't it.

Last Jepp revision.....never told a soul, of course, you just had to figure it out yourself. The new -10 pages for KEYW state that the takeoff and landing are at the captain's discretion. It no longer states that it is a "captain only" manuever.

Key West - 1
Stifler's Mom - 0

If anybody receives a new 10-9 page with a lower elevation listed as the change, you can thank me. :0

Absolutely brilliant!

Outstanding!

The RJ85 can do it with room to spare with minimal effort

Whatever

And the DHC-8 can make the midfield turnoff. And the DHC-7 could probably land across the runway with a tailwind. A DHC-6 on floats wouldn't need the airport at all.

Back when ASA got BAe146's (~1997) some senior captains went to the director of flight ops, the Great Brain himself, Bubba Shanahan,and suggested that we go direct ATL-EYW.

His response was that it was impossible, because we couldn't back it up with an ATR if the jet broke....
