Inside that we have a "Balked Landing" procedure. T/O of on 33 requires 1 mile and 400 ft. ceiling. We operate from 7 AM til 11 PM. Flights to DEN, ORD, LAX, SFO for the UA side and SLC and ATL for DL.
The LYNX Dash and MESA Dash only need 2 miles I believe, but our MDA is lower.
We love holding over DBL as GA and 135 guys shoot the VOR and go missed. Every min. that goes by we get paid more
Hope this helps.
You are correct. Our MDA is just under 10000 feet. Our procedure is to also be configured at Red Table VOR. I have witnessed your approach from the jumpseat and will say that it is nothing short of hair raising.
