alanpugh Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 15. "RE: VPC Flight Rally #11" 12-22-02, 13:16z  Hi, it's been a while since my last post - have been working two jobs and also having a problem understanding what I need to do to get the flight rooms to work. I flew into Aspen yesterday (a little late, I know) and used the flip chart booklet, U.S.Terminal Procedures, Southwest, vol 1 of 2. The approach to rwy 15 starts at Red Table VOR (DBL) at 14,000', then fly 164 deg. altitudes are 12,700 at 3 nm from DBL, 12,200 at 6 nm, 10,400 at 9.5 nm then you're only 2-3 mi out. There is no mention of a published approach for Rwy 33 although if you approach the localizer on 300 deg and turn to 330 over the station, you will be lined up about 13 mi out and have to pass between two hills on short final (you're on your own). The minimum safe altitude from that direction is 15,500 at 25 mn. I flew a Lockheed Constellation and came in too high. There was a conflict with the AI traffic taking off in the opposite direction so I went for the grass <g> and made it in ok.
