The airport page on the NACO charts doesn't show this, but stage probably refers to the sound signature of the aircraft. Your operations manual would probably tell what stage your aircraft qualified for.

I should find a rwy 33 approach to simply things into the airport. No such luck - there are no specific approaches in to 33. My question is - how come? Noise control?
|
Terrain.

Departure from rwy 15 is not allowed (per the KASE airport chart).
|
Terrain. And it most likely only refers to IFR departures, not VFR.

How am I suppose to do these steps if the aircraft has no VNAV? Do I stick fly and adhere to the steps by staring at the altimeter?
|
Yes.

how come the runway which apparently gets most of the landing traffic doesn't have vasi when rwy 15 does?
|
A VASI/PAPI provides a certain amount of terrain clearance that varies with distance from the runway, up to 4nm/4sm. If the appropriate amount of terrain clearance is not available, no VASI/PAPI can be provided.

The real question from this point is why does rwy 15 have MIRL/MALSF and PAPI when there are no approaches to this runway?
|
The MIRL applies to the whole runway, not just 15. And all approaches essentially go to this runway; they're labeled circling approaches only because the descent gradient in the final approach segment exceeds 400 ft/nm.

DH - Decision Height : why do I need to dial this in on the MDF? What does it do for me? Call out minimums when landing

I don't know.
