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

Nah....how hard could it be?

 

[MarineGrunt]

Yes..

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.

Republic is gonna start doing it in E170s soon...

1/2 mile final and a lateral offset to the right about 3000'

'bout the same place the -700 crater ends up, I reckon.

Lead the way.

SkyWest has been doing ASE since Dec. of '06.

'Emergency Extraction Procedure' I believe.

I think it comes from the need to 'extract' the seat cushion resulting from the high pucker factor associated if you can't get in.

The ERJ-170 has VNAV. Something Skywest CRJs do not. Set it And?????..... Forget it!!!! even the go around.

Doesn't the Q400's have VNAV also?

 

[cale42]

The Q has VNAV but the only approach we do in ASE is the LOC DME 15. So we use vertical speed mode to descend through the fixes with the nav system receiving the localizer.

Also the Q can in fact fly the emergency extraction procedure single engine even going balked above the runway.. my understanding(and I may well be wrong) is that the jet can't.
