I don't know what you're getting at by this. You'll have to spell that one out a little for me.
Agreed on the training but local knowledge for that kind of flying is OJT only. All of our check airmen were prior Dash-8 and or had Aspen experience.
The 2nd part about the fence, how are Lynx pilots going to fly under a Republic certificate prior to the SLI?

I don't know the performance characteristics of a Citation but I bet they're not good enough to not need a special single engine departure. But many people just blast off like it's any other airport.
True story, some do, some dont. We had performance software to help us calculate the requirements, applied at Eagle also.

Aspen turn is about 50 min. block. More questions than answers now.
