I think the 300/350 is part 23 commuter, or something like that.

in the new commuter category.

Aspen ODP question
In case you all think this only applies to impossible locations like Aspen, check out Northampton, MA, 7B2. Read the obstacle departure procedure. Look at the obstacles on the approach place and imagine how much margin you would have if you departed there and followed the procedure. You need more that 1000 feet only a few runway lengths ahead. It's a pretty scairy ridge out there, and it's at sea level! Bill Hale |
