Aspen LOC DME-E and Visual Approach Phenom 300

Riding along with Brandon as he takes us into Aspen on an overcast day in the mountains.
On this flight, I'm observing Brandon as he is flying single pilot. This is required once a year and unfortunately for Brandon it happens to be going to Aspen. Thanks to his training and professionalism it was just another day on the job. Good job Brandon!

headed to Aspen today. Reviewing this excellent video as a refresher!

[@jdmillar86]

Funny, a year later and the top of my suggested videos alongside is your flight into Aspen!

[@joshuadolan3811]

Single pilot into Aspen no joke! Excellent job!

[@JCON631]

"Sorry, I'm not here" Love it! Great job guys.

[@brianmcgee115]

Brandon - I will take flaps 1 Jesse - yeah, I'm not here Greatness lol. Well done gentlemen

[@dominickatx478]

Get your own flaps pal! Lmao!!

[@dantheman7357]

Hi Jesse, another GREAT video. I felt like I was right there with you guys and I learned a few things as well . Left seat Pilot very impressive and professional. Thanks.

[@cwd4660]

Hey, good to see a Brazilian registered aircraft. Nice video captain, you did a great job up there. Cheers from Brasil!

[@beozzie690]

What I enjoyed about this was the fact that the workload changes when you’re doing the single pilot and it shows how rusty one can get when you have a second. Funny to see Jon just sitting there telling you Not here to remind you that you needed to get further ahead of the workflow.

[@dominickatx478]

Great video! Love these Aspen approaches... I've flown into KASE twice on the airlines, and it was quite a ride. This was back when I was a kid, and before the regional jets took over, so it was in a turboprop. My dad lived in Aspen in the 1970s, and they would ride over from DEN on a DC-3.

[@TheCrjflyr]

Another great video Jesse. I used to fly the Dash 8 into KASE back in the day and it was always fun.

[@marklowe947]

Great video!

[@ibtm]

Love your videos---nice transitions etc. and the Phenom 300 is my favorite light jet!!

[@moacyrjetpilot]

Hi Jesse, I’m Brazilian and “joined the Phenom 300 world” this month (checkride was on Feb 6th). The airplane will be a 2018’s 300E model. My jet experience was on MU3 and BE40. Obviously, I can’t compare them against the 300E since modernization took place. I’m going to Melbourne,FL on March 1st and planned to “bring the bird” to Brazil by 11th. I got subscribed on your channel ‘cause there are nice trips, comments and consideration been shared by you! Good Flights! 😉🇧🇷

[@topofthegreen]

I learn so much from these videos, thanks for making them.

[@IllFlyIt]

Awesome! I love hearing that. Thanks Michael!

[@vgavilla]

Loved it. Great technique!

[@voodepato]

PR-PCH on the background radio. It’s a Brazilian dassault Falcon. Cheers!

[@Cheeto80]

[@txav8tion]

[@paulb267]

Another great video and interesting video. Keep the great work. A healthy, happy and prosperous 2018 to you and your love ones.

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks Paul! Same to ya

[@tobyray8700]

Dammit, Jesse I about freaked out but I could not find your old videos on KZbin.

[@ChasingDreamsLivingLife]

Nice!!! Miss flying with you guys!

[@pilotskcx]

Another awesome vid. Tell BRLA I'll take mine medium rare :-)

[@josephhammer2464]

Enjoyed the video. I wish/hope to fly for Airshare one day.

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks Joseph! It's a great place to fly and build some good experience. I hope you get the opportunity one day to join us.

[@chucksandos8939]

Hi! Have a good New Year! Thanks for showing this interesting flight at mountains. One question: why did you need a maneuver at 6:15+ with a turn flying? It looks as if an airport on which (presumably) indicated previous course (marked in green on the screen, starting at 5:15), did not take your plane. /Sorry, I cannot hear good, and do not understand this from the talks in the air.../ Hmm... maybe this was part of testing program for single piloting skills? Thanks for answer again.

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks Chuck, the new year is off to a good start. At 6:15 ATC issued a vector towards our final approach course. At that time, we were located a few miles south of the Eagle Airport KEGE. I think that is the one that is barely visible through the clouds below.

[@videopokernetwork6824]

Well, you landed.

[@busyend]

An older Phenom Jesse?

[@donaldsmith6703]

Jesse, I understand there are a lot of variables such as temp, alt ect just say at 40k on average what would you say the phenom300 cruise speed?

[@honzabrumlich]

Great vids, but did you seriously had to use the calc to add 7.000 and 7.837? :-D :-D

[@killjoy270]

its always the easy stuff you screw up on hahah never hurts to be safe

[@cwd4660]

Mental math could be tricky sometimes!

[@flpz67]

mda is 1170? if circling is lower can u descent to circling altitude? how you change from 11 230 to circling

[@Hurry_up_n_wait]

nice. well done

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks!

[@infotcr]

So you think you missed the Before Landing Checklist...sure, sure, je

[@mtnairpilot]

What software are you running on the iPads?

[@IllFlyIt]

We use JeppFD for Jeppesen charts. On my personal iPad I use ForeFlight. That’s what I used to highlight the approach brief. I did all of that while editing this video. In flight I only used my company iPad.

[@ryanmcfarland6086]

Your company will operate single pilot or was this some sort of evaluation?

[@IllFlyIt]

We rarely fly single pilot. If we do, it’s for maintenance test flights or empty repositioning flights. In order to retain single pilot authorization we get trained and evaluated as single pilot.

[@TheFlyingController]

Awesome! What software you use to edit?

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks Matt! I'm using Final Cut Pro.

[@alessio272]

I hate briefing approaches while ATC is talking 100 mph and I miss a call trying to brief my step down altitudes. (Very important) Autopilot definitely takes some workload off.

[@Daluke61]

Jessee, come home.

[@jimbeck3230]

A greaser for Brandon, IMHO.
