Cockpit view as we land at ASE Aspen Airport. The GPWS ground proximity warning sounds on our visual approach (so no corrective action taken) and the taxi and parking is exceptionally tight!
Best place to be if a major personnel issue arises and no airliner scheduled for hours. Someone will give you a ride on their bird to get you on the way. They are very casual about that and you are a guest! Paul Signet
@@paulsignet3697 As a passenger, that yelling child would annoy me too. There is such a thing as being considerate to other people - passengers ánd crew. Parents should keep their children under control (I am a mother and grandmother and have flown numerous times with at least one child). There is no excuse for rowdy behaviour.
In the 80's I lived in that little valley along the river they were flying over on final approach. It is incredibly scenic out there, no doubt, even in the summertime. Alas, I was a worker bee, not one of the rich kids. Still a great place.
I remember hiking in Aspen when that airport was a gravel strip with a grave marker about halfway up with a 2° direction change in the runway. Things have definitely changed.
Pull up pull up pull up "Ahh,its nice to know it works!"...Lol.good one .I love Rocky mountain scareway$.At least bk in 1970's -80's.Flew with them to Aspen numerous times.jb
I see nothing has changed there. I flew HS125-700 & 800’s along with a few Lear’s in there back in the day. Your oh so right, flying and landing is the easy part, but parking, a nightmare. Great video. That child need to do a hot section inspection, while it’s running.
lol man I was the thinking the same exact thing. Spoiled rich kids flying in on mommy and daddy's Gulfstream.. I'm sure they'll be getting a Lambo for their sweet 16. lol
Love fixing and working on GVs, the overhead panels is user friendly. It has its quirks, but overall a great plane. The only problem is the entitlement of the passengers.
My most memorable landing ever was coming into Aspen on a United Express CRJ700. Due to a state-wide blizzard the crew told us we might be forced to return to Denver. Passing over highway 82 a few hundred feet from the runway threshold (Aspen) a serious wind gust forced the pilot to quickly bank hard left. I was looking out the window straight down at the ground only 40-50 feet below. Otherwise the landing was perfect and passengers cheered! No more planes landed or took off there for about 48 hours (December 2006).
That was one fine approach and landing...very controlled and smooth! It amazes me how many business jets (of all sizes) are crammed in along the runway at the Aspen airport. And, given the amount of jet traffic following that difficult approach, their safety record is quite impressive. BTW, I'm wondering how you extract your jet out of its parking space when it's time to fly out of Aspen. Seems to me that in some cases a couple of planes would need to be moved in order to get your jet onto the taxi-way. Although I always enjoy skiing Aspen there's lots of other places in the American West with far higher average snowfall and generally better ski conditions, so I've always wondered why Aspen's so popular with the rich and famous...I guess it's the partying besides the skiing.
It looks like there's around 40 private planes there. At an average price of $25M, that's a Billion dollars worth of aircraft at Aspen for a weekend of skiing. God bless America.
Might be an illusion, but it's interesting - there were 3 reds on the PAPI, but to me it looked like you guys were above a "normal" glideslope and steep if anything (I would imagine due to terrain?). Great video!
KASE PAPI is based on non-standard 3.5 deg glidepath, in Visual Conditions, crew is allowed to descend below the PAPI glidepath when a lower altitude is necessary for a necessary for a safe landing
in KASE there is only one way in (rwy15) and one way out (rwy33) no matter wind...this was an RNAV approach to 15 and notice the jet moving to line up on 33 once this jet exited the runway
The brain hears what it wants to hear. When you’re at a party with tons of voices all around you who do you hear. Right, just the person you’re talking too.
Bruce McCaskey That's not I-70... that's Hwy 82. It's runs south 40 miles from I-70 at Glenwood Springs down through Carbondale, El Jebel and Basalt to Aspen, then on up over Independence Pass. I lived in Aspen from 79-83 -- life in the fast lane with the rich and famous; surely can make you lose your mind.
They're just excited they landed. How do you know how long they've been flying for? If the pilots had a problem, they could've closed the door, it sounded like it was open..
I remember the first time I saw the sheer number of executive jets parked cheek to jowl at Aspen, I turned from a Republican to a Marxist-Leninist for about 15 minutes. That kind of excess made me ready to start singing the Internationale and dedicating myself to focussing the proletariat’s inherent class grievances into a coherent program of revolutionary action. Then I went skiing and forgot about it.
Mario, the rich LIBERALs are the ones taking the jets to Aspen, and Davos, and Palermo, 116 executive jets on the ramp, for a Climate Change conference.
Very nice. I had a friend, almost 20 years ago. He was from Afghanistan, and had been the personal pilot of the Afghan president, before the Al Quada kicked him and the Russians out. He was a 747 captain, had spent a couple of years learning to fly in America. I asked him what the toughest & most dangerous airport in the world was. He though about that for a few seconds, then said the second worst, was probably Kabul, because not only was it at the bottom of landscape like a funnel, that you had to spiral into and out of, but you had to watch for shoulder fired SAMs, and (chop all power) and duck if & when necessary. But the worst airport in the world, he told me, was Aspen. ? Seems it is high altitude, there's common icing conditions, there are surrounding hills, there's one way in and out, and there are lots of owner-pilots who show up in their Pipers and their LearJets, and sometimes they do what ATC tells them, and sometimes they don't... It was Michael's opinion, having done both, that he'd rather spiral down into or up out of Kabul, in a 747, watching for smoke from a Stinger, than fly into Aspen and wonder which cowboy in a LearJet of a Gulfstream, was going to argue with ATC and then simply do what he wanted to do anyway....
They should’ve done a go around for sterile cockpit violation and charged the family for the fuel. They may be rich, but they might not be “that” rich.
Yeah but one problem is they could hire an attorney to sue and since they are rich, they could afford a lawyer that would say that they were not in the flight deck at the time so the sterile cockpit rule wouldn’t apply to them. Lol I’m just playing some devil’s advocate they were still super annoying Hahahaha
@@christopherfischer6998 If the flight crew can't handle all hell breaking loose in the cockpit, they need to score some hours in a jump plane. You get about 4000agl then pull the power back and go "ah shit."
I've been in here 30+ times in two different types, and have NEVER set off the EGPWS... Offset to the right over the road visually or stay on the path. I don't understand how this was not brought up yet?! Maybe that's why Flight Safety wants to use this for training? Hmmm
You don't have to be rich to take private jet somewhere. You can get 4-5 people to pitch in a few hundred bucks (depending on mileage) and charter a small jet. I think you could charter a jet from OC to Las Vegas for about 2-3k a few years ago.
And the tax code makes wealthy people spend money or face confiscatory rates if they don't spend a given amount. Why should government determine what you do with your money? The government hates competition in that sense. May as well make the most of it!
I use to live in woody creek and fly a Lear Jet back then. John Denver lived there and I would see him occasionally...sad about his death, but he didn't know how to switch fuel tanks on his experimental aircraft and drowned in California. Sad. The FAA tried to violate us once for a late landing after curlew but we had it on the ATC tapes that we landed two minutes before curfew. I later flew jumbo jet worldwide...retired in Florida.
