Default Re: More GPS Approach and KASE Approach

I figured it was the main approach since takeoff from 15 is not permitted. If you can't takeoff and there are fairly high percentages of missed approaches on rwy 15, it would make sense that landing rwy 33 is the preferred less risk option. I am sure it's more about prevailing winds.

Sorry about the "circle to land". I am confused.

You wrote..."they're labeled circling approaches only because the descent gradient in the final approach segment exceeds 400 ft/nm."...

I meant to say the circling was there to drop the altitude (not speed).
I suppose I am confused because the GPS-C approach doesn't indicate and "straight in" MDA.

Yes, you are correct - night = N/A. The new approach localizer is not implemented in FSX (using an older navaid database from 2004 I think). That would be part of my issue. I don't see the approved circling area.

Any way you slice it - it's a nasty approach in my book. Given the potential Wx conditions and terrain issues to contend with it can get ugly quickly.
