Add your flight adv and flight pay from your 31 dec check, then multiply that by .082.

Simple enough. Thank you.

Having never been in there in the 604 I really never looked at the performance numbers out of there in it. I know you fly the 605 and Global. I'm assuming there is no way in hell that your getting out of there on the SID if it is IFR on the 605.... How bout the Global if it light?

Nothing climbs like a Lear 60 when it has 2 engines, but with the altitude and one out it still can't comply. Didn't know how the Global did on one engine with it being light fuel (course your light fuel can probably get you back to the East coast on the Global):)

Yes and no. I started out with some older AA FAs that were actually nice and they took care of the place, which was a plus. After they left, the DAL FA new hires moved in and they were fun to be around and kept us on our toes. But after they left and the queen FA moved in, we all moved out! I hope never to go back to that!!!

A Global can leave ASE IFR, using runway analysis special departure procedure, at about 80,000 (15c). The SDP is the LINDZ, but you turn to intercept the LOC course to LINDZ at 10.3D south of RBL. In the sim, it works fine, a couple of terrain warnings, sometimes. For real, probably, a mind concentrating event.

I have taken full pax load and fuel for HPN and generous fuel. A certain published writer and high-time Global guy did PHNL out of ASE, VFR of course.

What's the field elevation at Aspen?

And how long is the runway?

And are you back in the states yet?

Leaving Stuttgart today, via airlines UGH!

ASE is at 7800' with 8,000' of runway for take-off, 7,000 for landing. 15 has a 2% upslope, so that made things worse for this crew.

80,000# is about 5.5-6.0 hours with good reserves, alternates plus an hour.

Fisher: the 605 will make the east coast out of ASE, but that's about it.

Two words: Cognac/Breadsticks

Wow, that's a pretty short runway for that elevation! I'm wondering what their approach speed might have been (140?), and then correct that to true airspeed at 8000', then add the 30 knot tailwind. I'm guessing their groundspeed was around 200? Trying to land on 7000'?? :eek:

Even if they did everything right, that was going to be tight.

Have a good trip back. I hope you packed your long johns, it's going to be very cold when you get home.
