Cool. How do I get me one of those?

it's not hard. all it takes is $75-150G's of loose change available to
burn rather quickly. then you hire a consulting firm specialised in
approaches to draw one up and with minimums tailored to your specific
on board equipment and flight crew experience levels (and hope that the
minimums are not so high that they're actually useful). then you submit
about 50 pounds of paper adorned with letters, numbers and pictures
arranged in nice color coordinated patters to the FAA, convince them
that you've met all the requirements, fly it a few times with an
approved FAA rep, and wallah! you (and your co-pilot) can now take your
FLIR equipped G5 in at night.

I like your spin. ;-)

Actually, NetJets has been trying for about three years to get an RNP
advanced procedure into ASE. Their approach path is great, but the
missed approach requires sterling, uninterrupted climb performance.

And, even as good as their concept is, once you get below MDA (or
perhaps DA) and get further behind, missed approach wise, at ASE you are
screw blue missing in a balked landing scenerio.

ASE simply should not be an IFR airport, politics aside.
