Aerosoft Aspen Extended 1.00

Page 2

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.

As the runway is only usable in one direction (RWY15 for landing, RWY 33 for departure) you might be forced

to land with unfavorable winds. A glance at the accident databases online shows how dangerous Aspen can be.

The airport is mostly used by ‘private’ jets Gulfstreams, Learjets and the likes are very common. Of course this

is because Aspen has its fair share of rich and/or famous residents. The stunning scenery, (pun intended), the

ski slopes and the relaxed feel of the small town (population 6,000) make it a popular place to relax and spend

some time in semi-anonymity.

This Extended version is a full rebuild of the original 2007 version using the latest technology and features the

updated longer runway.
