But, those altitudes are in Class A airspace. ;-) 17,000 feet will provide legal en route (and circling ;-) altitude for the entire 48 states. |

No kidding!! Isn't that why we all learned steep-turns-about-a-point? Even the 360-overhead would be thrilling at Aspen. If a pilot is going to do those types of maneuvers at Aspen, then he or she better have the right airplance and be very familiar with the airport. Those two factors always greatly improve the safety margin. But, that becomes, more or less, a special-qualification circumstance, as opposed to "plain old TERPS." |

That doesn't mean it would work in the real airplane in the real world. There are issues like suffiicent bleed air for anti-ice and perhaps wing de-ice, and engine spool up time, not to mention sink rate. Bill Gates doesn't worry about any of those critical issues. |

Because the LOC is not part of a final approach segment, the limitation that RNAV (GPS) cannot be used to substitute for the LOC does not apply in that sense. snip Thanks for setting me straight. -- Peter |
