Skywest to Aspen

[johnny taliban]

I was looking for flights to Aspen and I saw that Skywest flies there from Denver. I was wondering , does your company require special training to qualify to fly in and out of there, especially at night?

thanks

yeah you do have to have a special sim session and checkride to fly in and out of aspen..its a pretty intense procedure and miss approach, especially if single engine..so it does require more training..aspen flying usually goes junior at our company because not everyone wants to fly it, and it allows junior guys to get an aspen line instead of reserve..

'Extraction Procedure'

'Emergency Extraction Procedure' I believe.

can't wait to see how it works out with an E-Jet since apparently T props aren't cost efficient.
