There are a few things (V1 cut profile, memory items) that you really should know cold on every flight. If you don't you'll probably be able to muddle your way through it, but events like that often get closely scrutinized... you don't want to get invited back for early sim after an event like that. I've used the memory items in anger four times, at my major interview those were good stories... as opposed to explanations about remedial sim training.

I think the guys in RNO nailed it perfectly... and still didn't have much margin. Wsan't there one in ASE as well?
There have been some balked landings at ASE, but no engine failures (yet). We did have a crew takeoff from ASE, land in DEN, and experience a big engine fire during landing. That lead to an evacuation, and they all did a great job (the CA is at SWA now).
