Cessna 172R from Telluride to Aspen
Is it safe/wise to fly a Cessna 172R from Telluride to Aspen? If so, what
conditions or restrictions (if any) should be observed? |

Are you referring to a real airplane or simulated flight with MSFS?

I'm asking about real airplanes, subsequent to a simulated flight with the same aircraft that ended tragically just a few minutes ago, probably due to icing, although I'm not sure. I tried the flight as an experiment to see if it was possible, and I'd like to know from pilots of the real aircraft whether or not it would be possible or safe to attempt it in real life. Weather at Aspen was low IFR so I had planned to divert to Garfield County, but I lost control of the aircraft about 20 miles southeast at 12500 feet and impacted terrain. |

What altitude, what route, what was the weather and DA, weight and balance?
How can you expect an answer without at least this information as a minimum? |

What altitude, what route, what was the weather and DA, weight and balance? A very gradual climb from the airport elevation to 12500. The route was ETL.MTJ.RIL.DBL, flown VFR. Weather was approximately (two hours have now elapsed) KTEX 101610Z AUTO 27009KT 10SM SCT025 SCT035 BKN060 03/M01 A3019 RMK AO2 KASE 101614Z 34006G14KT 7SM BKN017 BKN035 M01/M04 A3014 RMK AO2 SNE05 P0000 KRIL 101553Z AUTO VRB04KT 10SM FEW050 08/M01 A3013 RMK AO2 SLP179 T00781011 TSNO KASE had 1SM and blowing snow and fog at the time of my flight. Aircraft weight was 2426 lbs with 336 lbs of fuel. How can you expect an answer without at least this information as a minimum? Gross discrepancies between what is required and what the aircraft can do would not require that level of detail, but since you've asked for it, I've provided it. |

You had blowing snow in your cold water apartment? Bertie |

You didn't include the area forecast and any sigmets or airmets. What is the
climb rate in a 172 for the given W/B at the temperature and altitude you mentioned? |
