Crash at ASE...

[400A]

I felt like the tower was covering itself. I have rarely heard them be so specific to quiz each aircraft to ensure they had Romeo.

The downdraft that you always get when you pass the ridge on the right on short final can be a handful especially during high wind conditions. Sometimes the updrafts are equally bad. Throttles back and your still accelerating...bumping the flap limitation. I respect that place.

That was ground verifying the departure aircraft had Romeo.

We have all been in this situation. Take the alternate and deal with the BS of diverting when you are safe on the ground. We have been flying into and out of KTEX for the past 15 years and will not land if X-wind is over 15kts . We divert to MTJ atleast 25% of our flights even with owners who are great about delayed home base departures due to bad conditions in the mountains. Xm weather gives you a good weather trend while enroute to the mountains. When weather is questionable we arrange ground transportation for both locations so if have to divert the logistics are already in place.

Not sure what that has to do with this crash?

There is a great discussion going on regarding this accident (450+ posts), first hand witnesses, pictures and lots of great discussion: Challenger 601-3R down in Aspen!

 

[Yeah]

Let Biff and Muffy drive the hour from RIL and live to see another cocktail party.

Truer words were never spoken. Remember, Rich does not equal Smart. It is our jobs to be the Brains on every flight. It is a pain and I don't like dealing with it anymore than anyone else, but at the end of the day, it is NOT worth lives or dealing with the FAA.

Thanks :beer:

That would go against that site's copyright rules. This site has the same type of rules.

I didn't say copy, you can use your own words and give us a summary or are you just trying to get people to sign up to your site for $$$ ?

Pretty much what LJ said in this and his previous post.

It isn't my site, I'm just a member there.

If you are so curious what is there why don't you go see for yourself? Or will $15 a year break you?

There is a ton of info over there on this crash (650+ posts) far more than the 37 here, thought some people here might be interested in learning more, sorry if I offended by bringing it up, go back to arguing among yourselves.

650+ posts

I think you missed our point and pointed it out at the same time. It's not about the $, that fine site Pr* Pilot World and nothing personal against flyer49er. I don't have the time to read thru 650 posts every time something like this happens and frankly the 30+ posts here are 20 more that I wanted to read in the 1st place - but that is me.

And note to this sites moderators - really? 3 letters P P W put together gets us this: ***************? You don't think almost everyone knows about that site?

Well, you only have limited time to dedicate to your profession and career (understandable), but you choose to spend that limited time here??? :erm:

If you are going to invest, invest wisely. Might as well at least keep up to date on current events.

I learned a LOT reading the thoughts of hundreds of different perspectives in that thread. As a professional pilot, I feel I am always learning, or at least should be.

First of all, you are here - but why? You have 8 posts since 6/2/2006 (curious) and they all seem to be related to P P W (moderators... :smash so LJ hit the nail on the head - you are schilling for the other site. Pretty pathetic - more pathetic than moderating P P W on this site. If the moderators of this site had "any" they would call you out. Should I ever join/be accepted to that other site, at least I know you will be there...
