Interesting Aloft-

"On March 21, 2001, a flight inspection crew from the FAA's Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Flight Inspection Field Office performed a commissioning flight check at ASE to support a proposed GPS standard instrument approach procedure to runway 15. After the inspection, the flight inspection crew noted, on the procedural control form, that circling should not be allowed at night30 because areas of unlighted terrain conflicted with traffic patterns and circling descent maneuvers near the airport. Afterward, the flight inspection crew provided its comments to FAA staff at the National Flight Procedures Office in Oklahoma City."

I just read the report.

Tell me about circle to land some more. Circle to land doesn't necessary "circle" to land. These guys were coming straight in from DBL to rwy 15. There was no circle to land. Is the FAA just referring to all approaches at night - they must be straight in?

What happens if landing is on 33 - you must circle to land in the daytime?
