Maybe that's why they're gonna qual SEA 7ER guys to circle at mins instead of the 1000/3 like the rest of us? I don't have the chart memorized since I haven't been up there since 98 when I flew CG Hercs out of Kodiak. I guess we'll know this summer if there's a 75 sitting on the ramp next to an AK 73.

As I believe Sailing mentioned earlier, we're already flying RNAV RNPs into more difficult fields. A bulletin will suffice...if even that. Make it one of those destinations we have to sign off every two years and be done.

JNU is on the bid sheet for the SEA 75/76 category for May, since AS can use their lower mins which we do not have there will probably be a time when we cannot get in. Should be fun!!
Are AS's lower mins predicated on the use of the HUD?

Do DAL 737's have ADF/NDB? Tubby is correct, HUD not needed to get RNP minimums. It's not a question of JNU being harder or easier than any other airport, it's a question of minimums. Can DAL develop their own RNP approaches? Absolutely. Can it be done behind a computer and quick bulletin? Don't think so. AS is the only airline right now to create and certify our own approaches and that took a lot of time and money to achieve. How much freight can a 757 hold in its belly?

Another question: what's the max tailwind for takeoff for a 757? I know it's a great short field airplane, just curious if it's any different.

Flight track app says DL 757-200 arrvs JNU about 2100 and Depts about 0600. What's the minimum layover? Maybe layover for the whole day and leave the next morning.??? Bring rain gear and hiking boots. Maybe fishing gear. "The hanger" on the the waterfront is a popular eating and drinking spot. Don't forget to cancel IFR when landing assured so the next guy can start the approach. I forget what time the tower closes. From a flying standpoint consider it an exotic foreign destination. Single runway limited alternates. Can a 75 land in SIT? Even with good weather you can be bitten. I was about to start the approach at SIT one day and an amphib Cessna forgot to put the wheels down and closed the runway for an hour. Good luck stay safe.
