The LOC DME 15 special that we do does get us down to 1000 AGL. Thats 8780 MSL. The field elevation is 7780 MSL. The runway is 7000x100. It looks like your screamin the first few times you do it. I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I was doin in the RJ until I started going into ASE. What caught me off guard was the violence. I've never experienced turbulence at that magnitude before, having big rocks above you out your right window doesn't help. I havn't done ATL yet, I've heard if the the bags work out you can take a full boat. I've got it coming up so I'll find out soon enough.

70 folks from Aspen to ATL and still meet the climb requirements, eh? That would admittedly be pretty impressive.

I thought I heard (bear in mind, so could be wrong) that they can be just as frequently weight restricted going IN due to approach climb limits.

Anybody at Skywest willing to share with us what your emergency extraction procedure is for ASE in case of an engine failure?

Did you drive the 146 for AWAC back in the UA days?? From what i hear it took all that thing had to balk or miss. I would'nt want to be on a 700 that lost one on the go.
