Subject: Help understanding Aspen VOR/DME approach



. Don't rely exclusively

on the IFR chart. If you do, you'll be unprepared.



Going into FSM on Saturday, I overheard a Hawker also landing at FSM on
Razorback Approach:



Hawker: "Razorback, what's that river off our left wing?"



App: "Say again?"



Hawker: "Razorback, Hawker xyz, what's that river off our left wing
please?"



App: "ah, that's the Arkansas River"



Some other wag (not me I promise): "Yep, on my VFR chart too"



There's a case of relying on the enroutes and plates to tell you
everything you need to know...
