Aerosoft Aspen Extended 1.00 INTRODUCTION Aspen-Pitkin County Airport is listed as a dangerous airport. Not only is it surrounded by high and steep terrain on almost any side, it is also prone to severe weather, with strong winds and massive snow falls, and to make matters worse it is located at 7,280 ft. Even when the weather is warm and visibility is great, the combination of altitude and high Density Altitude (see appendix A) will make departures and arrivals even more dangerous.

All of them are complex and need good local knowledge. You will find start situations (flights) for all published procedures. We strongly recommend you abort one landing to test the missed approach procedure. Please note that ALL published approaches are forbidden at night.

Aerosoft Aspen Extended 1.00 APPENDIX A; HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE If there is one thing that makes this product special it is the high altitude of the airport s. It is our experience that many sim pilots do not fully understand the effects of the resulting lower air pressure, so a full chapter on flying in these conditions is in order. HIGH DENSITY ALTITUD E In this chapter we are going to use the Cessna 182RG as our base model, for all other aircraft the principle is the same, only the figures change.
Aerosoft Aspen Extended 1.00 another problem. It’s very easy to run into very cold layers of air only minutes after takeoff and icing is a real danger. One thing to keep in mind… your air speed indicator is always corrected for the density altitude, it shows what it feels. HIGH (DENSITY) ALTITUDE OPERATIONS Flying from high altitude airports is something that is inherently more dangerous than flying from airports located nearer to sea level.
Aerosoft Aspen Extended 1.00 The real problems start when things go wrong. At a normal landing you have almost all of your power to get you out of a problem, but at high Density Altitudes you might not have much to use, and in the thin air the difference between max speed and stall speed is very small. If you’ve never flown at a high altitude airport before, you run a major risk when you do so for the first time because on your standard checklist there will be the item [Full Rich Mixture].
