Listen to the chilling ATC audio as Canadair Challenger 601, registration N115WF, faces a tragic landing accident at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (ASE). The jet, which had substantial damage and came to rest upside down on runway 15, broke its right wing and caught fire. With three people on board, the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office reported one fatality, one person with major to severe injuries, and another with minor to moderate injuries.
Flightaware data shows the aircraft arrived at Tucson International Airport (TUS) from Toluca, Mexico, at 08:47 MST. It departed for Aspen at 10:04 MST. During its approach at around 12:10, N115WF executed a missed approach due to severe weather conditions: 'Missed approach November one one five Whiskey Fox... Thirty-three knots of tailwind.' Other flights also reported low-level windshear and wind gains of 5-20 knots on approach.
Experience the critical moments leading up to the crash through the actual audio from Aspen Tower frequency.

Aspen is one of the most hated airports in the industry and with good reason. Thankfully, my employer has absolute hard and fast rules about acceptable winds. A good friend of mind was sitting in the cockpit prepping his jet for departure and watched the entire incident. We talked for more than an hour the day after and I know how much it affected him. He retired less than 6 months later.

I heard a clip of I think San Francisco controller giving a German pilot crap about not being able to land with a tailwind, which really pissed them off. America cares about safety, as long as it doesn’t cause any inefficiency that cuts into profit. Look at all the line up and wait incidents of late, and planes cleared to cross runways while a plane is taking off. All in the name of throughput. And that is always masked when pilots avoid the dangers, and even in accident reports where the blame is almost always going to be put on the crew and pilot “in charge.”

“Wind 320, 12 gusts, 25, runway 15 cleared to land” When was their spidy sense going to kick in? Way out of limits

@MarcPagan 21 день назад

As a former airline pilot and present CFI who has been flying since 1995, ... this 2014 accident still yields a sinking feeling in my stomach. Windshear is no fun, as one who has had two close calls. Despite no PIREPs, convective SIGMET, or SIGMET, windshear can really happen fast, with no warning.. Two questions - Pilots - With a PIREP of windshear, and a tailwind, why did the pilots accept the landing clearance? ATC - Same situation: Why was landing clearance given post a windshear report...and with a tailwind, and gusts? How could this not lead to an unstable approach?

@MarcPagan 21 день назад

@@user-dc6mg2rk8p Hmmm...perhaps DEI, perhaps not. All humans make mistakes. RIP, but its at least arguable that pilots contributed to this tragedy by accepting the landing clearance. Remember, Obama was race hiring Air Traffic Controllers. Endangering my life, and the lives of the public, and my student pilots. Trump ended this vile bigotry.

@speedlever 21 день назад

I think wind shear on the approach is pretty common at ASE. But if my mental gymnastics are correct an increasing airspeed wind shear is a performance increasing event leading an airplane to go high during the approach. Iirc, the approach takes you down to pretty high vfr minimums so the landing should be with fairly high vfr minimums. This is not an approach to low ifr minimums.

@michaelhoffmann2891 21 день назад

2:09 the unintelligible is the pilot joking about his medical running out before he gets to depart. Helps to consider who/what flies into Aspen. Can't have the rich and famous miss out on their hobnobbing and apres ski times. Land or be fired! Didn't Rod Machado have a limerick to this extent in his instrument flight book? Can't check as it's packed away due to moving. That said, this is kind of chilling from the investigation report: " Neither flight crew member would have met the minimum flight time requirement of 25 hours to act as pilot-in-command under Part 135." 😱 Did they choose to fly despite this, or were they told to fly despite this?

Was there no acceptable approach available to 33? Why are we landing 15 with an insane tailwind?

@Flight_Follower 21 день назад

@RetreadPhoto 21 день назад

@@Flight_Follower point is why are they trying to land at all? DIVERT. Don’t push the limits. Don’t drive outside the envelope the plane clearly documents in its handbook. But pilots often think they’re invincible and can handle anything, even if it’s something they’ve never encountered before. Overconfidence kills. Lack of fear kills.

@ra2186 18 дней назад

@@josephcovino9697There are minimums that are published. It's up to each individual pilot to respect them and their lives. Flying is extremely safe when done correctly. When steps are skipped, rules are broken, or limits are pushed, it becomes unsafe real quick. This pilot knew he had a varying cross-wind/tail-wind of 25-30 mph. He knows that speed can't magically disappear. He can't force the plane down. Physics can't be beat.

@michaelmcmanus5196 21 день назад

Landing with a tailwind greater than the limits set forth in the AFM is tempting fate. How others landed with those tail winds brings about many questions. Never understood how the FAA approves the ops in Aspen. If one can be on the approach inbound, and inside the FAF, while another is taking off then why isn’t this trick used in other busy airports? 🤔🤔🤔

@speedlever 21 день назад

I’ve been there once in a Citation 650 and that was years ago. I remember a high tailwind on the approach with multiple step downs which were challenging to follow. Bottom line, ASE is a 1 way airport due to terrain. Land on 15 and depart on 33. Or that’s what I recall.

As has been pointed out in other replies, this would be a common practice here. Because of high terrain, aircraft land on 15 and depart 33.

@josephcovino9697 21 день назад

Flew over 40 years as Commercial pilot, retired now so I wasn't expecting to get so upset sitting here having my coffee this morning watching one person losing their life and other two ruined. I got upset because I have noticed in the last couple years ATC instructing aircraft to land on runways with significant tailwinds, which wasn't the norm in the past. I had the thought now could this possibly be in areas of severe "wokeness" and airports are bending to pressures of home owner associations on which runways to use? And should the NTSB have ruled the cause of the accident the fault of the airport which was practicing landing procedures contrary to what pilots are trained to do and contrary to the laws of physics and flight.

All you have to say is "unable". I've been on a wide body jet and had to depart opposite directions to the flow due to tailwind. Yes, I took a few minutes of delay, but ATC can work with you when you say you need something due to "performance reasons".

WTH(that stands for “What The Hell)does wokeness have to do with the age old fight between residents and the airport they moved close to. Complaints about airport noise far out dates “wokeness.” You should keep your MAGA views to yourself, especially in light of the tragedy that occurred.
