  • i've heard Lear's, for whatever reason, require a slightly "Faster than Usual" ( or, than some Other Biz-type Jets of this kind) Vref/Vapp speeds? Takeoff's Too. is this True? if it IS, Why? Wing Shape? Other Airframe Design Reasons? this guy appeared to be over the numbers at about 110? 115? any Thoughts "Lear" guys?

  • @drumdude46 Just very high wing loading. Tiny wing on this bird.  Over the numbers was likely around 140 kts or so.

  • @muehr05 You're right. I'll act differently from now on.

  • muehr05 I read your comment about triangle. I wasn't going to comment, but then thought, what the hell? I've been into Aspen seriously over 500 times in my career. That day was clear wx, good plane. Crew was having fun flying over the hill that low.....I've done it many, many times.....NOT unsafe!!!!! PIC (I don't know him or her) NOT a loser.....And NOT a 'cowboy' technique in my opionion. There, I feel better now.

  • lovely approach,

    what a plane!

  • "Terrain!"..."Terrain!"..."Pul­l Up!"..."Pull Up!"... yep, sounds like flying into Aspen!

  • well, was there a plane which is comes head-on while approaching? am I wrong?

    or was it on downwind?(actually,I don't think so)

    thanks for sharing

  • I landed here on the runway when it was all Icey, and the whole plane almost went off the end of the runway. The pilot braked so hard we all got thrown into the seat in frontmof us

  • @leokov if you woundering why i am responding to a comment due 1 year later i justdo it cause i feel like it

  • Youtube at this time unable to handle world wide traffic

  • So if I'm not mistaken pilots called the 'pull up' voice in an F-16 'bitchin betty.' I wonder what lovely names you guys have come up with for the whiner at 0:15
