Alexander Tucker 1106997 Posted December 27, 2011 at 07:47 PM Posted December 27, 2011 at 07:47 PM On Friday December 30th, the Denver ARTCC is putting on Friday Night Ops. This gives us an excellent time to use their awesome controllers and do a group flight from Denver Intl (KDEN) to Aspen Pitken County (KASE). Departures start at 200Z or 7PM MST and will continue for as long as needed. Anyone is welcome to join. I would like to remind all pilots that the most suitable aircraft for this flight is either the CRJ-700, or any of the Dash 8's. You can find a brief tutorial on approaches to Aspen here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=58371 This also has free scenery recommendations. Please post here if you think you can attend or are attending so we know how many pilots to expect. (Along with you Vatsim ID and/or the flight number you will be using.) Thanks and see you Friday! Vatsim Sign-Ups: Alexander T. - UAL017/1106997 Daniel S. - 1093955 Total Sign-Ups: 3 Flying is simple, as long as you know how to do it. <-- The original bug is back. (The best part is that it doesn't stop.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Becker 1142460 Posted December 28, 2011 at 12:27 AM Posted December 28, 2011 at 12:27 AM I would like to let it be known that this group flight is not sponsored by the Denver ARTCC. The Denver ARTCC is hosting the FNO at Denver International Airport (KDEN) as the banner clearly states. There is nothing preventing you from flying into KASE, but know that our focus will be on KDEN because that is what we are advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Rutila 974112 Posted December 28, 2011 at 12:28 AM Posted December 28, 2011 at 12:28 AM Alexander, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I have to caution you and everyone who's going to be doing this. We are featuring Denver International at the event this Friday and quite honestly will probably not be able to handle the amount of traffic you seem to be encouraging at Aspen; I don't have the controllers to staff it. The Denver Center sector that will be working the Aspen Approach and tower airspace is also responsible for two Denver arrival gates, three Denver departure gates, and most of the non-towered airports in the ski country of Colorado. I am totally fine with having a handful of aircraft fly into Aspen like we usually have during events, but I haven't sanctioned Aspen as a feature specifically because we can't handle event traffic at Aspen and Denver simultaneously. If you would like to coordinate an event with us on another date, even within the next week or two, I'm all for that. We love Aspen as much as you do, but I must state officially that large groups flying to the Aspen Airport will most likely not be controlled as effectively as they could be with proper staffing. -- Harold Rutila ZDV_HR, I1 Air Traffic Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Tucker 1106997 Posted December 28, 2011 at 03:14 AM Author Posted December 28, 2011 at 03:14 AM Don't worry, it is not going to that big at all. Probably only 6 people if that. Sorry if there was any confusion there especially when it came to thinking it was trying to proclaim itself an event, that is why I put group flight.

Harold Rutila 974112 Posted December 28, 2011 at 03:36 AM Posted December 28, 2011 at 03:36 AM Sounds good. Again, if you want to do something on a larger scale, we're up for that too. Just shoot us an email anytime. [email protected]. Harold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future, you can post your group flights here: viewforum.php?f=106 Should save from the confusion whether or not its an ARTCC/vACC sponsored event..
