The background of most of Colgans pilots are beech 1900 and the saab into podunk back country airports. Many of the pilots here are used to flying a non precision or arc into a non towered airport at night in icing.

Yes, Mexico will be a new and different challenge but so far we are only talking one airport, Monterey. I cant imagine how that one single airport will be just out of reach of the capabilities of the majority of pilots here.

Yes, we have a few pilots that are very capable of flying an arc into the side of a mountain in day VMC, luckily that is not the norm.

I dont see how we have gotten over 40 posts on this topic.
