Landing at one of the world’s most challenging airports in crazy turbulence

[@andreaforcella1094]

Max you are my 6 years old son hero, he keeps saying he wants to be like you when he’ll grow up ! Cheers from Italy !

[@rduatc]

The thing about being such a good pilot is that you make the hard stuff look easy. Nice job Max, always enjoy your vids.

[@Pereux0]

Then theres me, a idiot, who makes easy stuff look hard

[@Supertrucker66]

As a student pilot you amaze me at the non stop staying ahead of the plane Great job

[@edjarrett3164]

When I was going to school, Aspen was the dreaded instrument approach. Max made it a piece of cake. Well done!

[@MrTalkingzero]

Nice, stabilized approach into moderate turbulence. Notice how the pilot made small yet immediate corrections with the flight controls to remain stabilized. Also, consider that there is an input lag, the aircraft doesn't respond right away. It is like herding cats with a 10 foot wet noodle. This pilot certainly keeps up his training.

[@jimbanter]

Nice! The communication with the tower is always so smooth. No awkward silence ever!

[@norvynhill]

I am unfortunately a nervous flyer, took one bad time of turbulence to ruin flight for me 😅. Watching your videos really helps me cope with my fear of flying. Massive respect. I wish I didn't have the fear to try my hand at flight school, but it is what it is. keep doing what you do.

[@SeamusHilleary]

Nice video max! You need a shirt with the caption: “greased it.” 😂👍

[@dylankopff1935]

I'd buy one!

[@Music_Inspiration07]

I will buy it too

[@CitationMax]

"Greased it" Socks coming soon! Thanks for watching!

[@SeamusHilleary]

Sweet!

[@ericporterfield5531]

Me too

[@NostalgiaMan]

That was a hell of a landing. Amazing video

[@kevincollins8014]

Loss and gain of 10kts.Max yaw damper away aaaand greased it! It is always an honor to ride along with you brother. You do such an amazing job keeping your head in the game dispite the cameras and always way ahead of the aircraft. Thanks again for bringing us along and give Goose a huge hug for me please. 👍😁

[@CitationMax]

Thank you Kevin! Hope all is well with you and your family

[@kevincollins8014]

@@CitationMax Thanks 👍

[@Bradleybox1988]

Awesome video! I love how you verbally double-check things. And yes, the views are terrific. You, Steveo1kinevo and Premier 1 Driver are my favorite aviators-- you're all so chill and professional!

[@CitationMax]

Thanks so much! Appreciate it.

[@williegillie5712]

That was a sporty take off and climb. I remember flying with my dad once over some of the mountains in California. The constant up and down. Could even see the wings flexing. Boy what a ride back then and now today after seeing your video. For me it was a fun ride. Nice landing Max. Looked like a greaser to me too.

[@williamtrusler1508]

Very nice job, Max. A great display of professional aviating skills.

[@SagonOfSol]

Just found your channel, I can't wait to start flight school. I loved how clear everything was, seeing the atmosphere and your attention to detail was very nice. Thanks, take care.

[@CitationMax]

Welcome! Thanks for watching

[@billseward7229]

Love when the ATC recognizes 2RF 👍

[@animaljustice7774]

I’m a nervous flyer but if I flew in your plane I think I’d probably fall in love with you. 😊♥️ Thanks for sending donations to help animals Max! 👍

[@DanielBates71]

I always fly out of Love Field on Southwest and you see smaller private jets every time. This is a different point of view from inside of your Citation. Thanks for sharing.

[@walterlippens6675]

You're such a lucky guy flying this beauty over a wonderful landscape. Thanks for sharing these amazing views.

[@smitttty]

durango co was a pretty scary airport too, the plane was practically sideways and the turbulence was so bad you were bouncing out of your seat.

[@JasonFlorida]

Citation Max, I really love your avionics upgrade you did! Absolutely stunning! It's always a pleasure watching you, thanks a bunch for sharing! Stay safe and fun!

[@jcrouse55]

Beautiful flight Max and a awesome landing as always. Thanks for taking me along!

[@timkinn675]

That was a crazy approach. Serious turbulence. But, like always you "greased" it. You are by far my favorite channel on KZbin. Absolutely love your videos. Thank you Max.

[@cappy9867]

Max, spicy approach for sure...handled like the Pro you are...thanks for the ride along...

[@supercat380]

Nice depiction of actual cockpit activities as a professional pilot should do, and you do it very well, Max!!

[@fultonarms]

Nice job. I've been ASE based for 21 years - all weather day/night. It's often a bit of work but having special instrument approaches, especially at night helps a lot. Having 3 engine Falcons gives us additional flexibility.

[@simonjones7785]

Its what I love about air coms always super polite I hold various amateur radio licenses and I find none of them are as polite as air coms

[@mcmdrpiffle447]

Max, you are the Man !!! Calm, cool and collected for the duration.

[@Kamgraphica]

Terified of flying myself. I do fly but Max your video make it feel so smooth and relaxing. That landing was butter, smoooooth.

[@heliocarvalho5399]

Congratulations Captain Max. Very nice to fly with you. Continue with videos like this. God bless you!!!🙏

[@rickbunn9789]

Great flight, Max! I'll bet inside the FBO you answer to "Greazer", don't cha...!😄

[@arthurwolfburg6441]

I want to thank you. The scenery was beautiful. It must be amazing being a pilot flying to different locations. Amazing job with the flying. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottboyne8305]

Max you are the best pilot. I love the way you explain everything you're doing.

[@10to1imjokin]

That was a pretty exciting landing Max! Glad I came along for the ride!

[@SPD8585]

Another question. WHen you need to go to the bathroom, do you leave your seat? I know that AP is taking care of everything for thousand of miles, but how do you handle the traffic following the radiostation that is contacting you meanwhile?

[@magnificentmuttley2084]

Thanks for taking me along Max. I just love watching your videos. Very informative and I just love your thoroughly professional approach. Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway coast of Northern Ireland. 😄👍☘️

[@Dmiller_V23]

THAT is professional piloting. So awesome man. And loved the "Yaw dampener away... Greased it" at the end.

[@iamburl2667]

Did you ever want to fly commercial, you would be a great captain, very humble and knowlegeable

[@wb6she]

Beautiful flight, turbulence and all. great landing, thanks..

[@chasehaderlie496]

ASE tip to not have to use speed breaks, be fully configured on final speed by DBL or on the base leg being vectored. Always fun going there with the winds coming off the mountains. NICE job!!

[@williampotter2098]

Flown into ASE hundreds of times in 3 models of CJs over the years. Never had to use a speed brake. If I ever had to use them, I had screwed something up. They scare the pax.

[@bubblesmckenzie4125]

Thanks for the front seat view. 🙂❤️👍

[@francisflood8921]

Beautiful day, Max!

[@PAS_2020]

❤️ Every video you do. It means that my buddy Citation Max has one more perfect/or not so perfect flight notched up to experience❗️

[@davestelling]

Mighty impressive young man! Enjoyed the flight, thanks...

[@jonathandangelo2131]

i said your last video was the best one yet and couldn't think it could be topped.. but i was sweating on that approach. Great landing!

[@leegoldman7491]

Max you always make some of the smoothest landings ever but this one was exceptional to land in Aspen with all the cross wind was remarkable, love flying with you when ever I get a chance...lets go flying...

[@joeparfitt8768]

Great to hear Syracuse mentioned! Lived there my entire life.

[@juerg5662]

Nice Video. Well ... you should compare Samedan (LSZS) in Switzerland. Various videos can be found on KZbin.

[@douglasboyce4627]

You are such a Professional, love to watch your flights, thank you Sir!!!!!!!

[@tpittockful]

Great video, wow that was a rough ride. Ive never seen you fly in that much turbulence and a little grease to go with that landing. Thank you

[@mikepawlowski4175]

Makes you pucker up on that approach. Beautiful sky and area. Great Flight.

[@T_210]

Max, @24:16 there's a little cart track or something out your left elbow window on final. Grab the cameras and go do some laps!

[@Deathworg1]

Your videos somehow make me feel a lot more calm about flying

[@falgul21]

UUHHH !! sweating..... awesome view ... .Max Thank you !!! great landing and concentration !!! All The Best !!!

[@jessekiefer0206]

Love Aspen great town! Flying over the Rocky Mountains is amazing but the turbulence is no joke!

[@danawalker55]

Awesome scenery! What a bumpy ride. Thanks for sharing!

[@afpwebworks]

“… that landing was spicy …”. Good description! Lol. Max you avoid the temptation to speak too fast that usually comes with familiarity. You hear it in lots of contexts - controllers, pilots, FM radio, even drive thrus at fast food places. You are always clear and easy to understand. Thank you .

[@john2000l]

You did an outstanding job here, I have been in turbulence like this going into Aspen, not one of our most favorite flight times.

[@sharkamov]

Appreciate finding your channel Max, thoroughly enjoying your competent flying of the Citation and those stunning views you offer! . . . (Even though I'm personally more of a 'rotary winged' guy, your videos are immensely satisfying to watch! . . . ) Keep'em coming my friend & Safe Flights Always! 👍 Cheers from 🇳🇴

"...shaken but not stirred", well done Max and thanks for sharing😅

[@kurtbecker7776]

WOW!! Yet ANOTHER great video! You have the market on greased landings!! ALWAYS a pleasure to watch and witness each and EVERY video.. Can't wait until each time you post a new video..

[@wotan10950]

Great video, as always. I got a chuckle from the ad that popped up, “Aspen Dental!” And the naughty part of me kept thinking, 13:25 “It’s gonna get a little boring for the next couple of hours”……….(unsaid) “and I have to pee.” 😀

[@saldun2603]

Awwh envie is what I see and understand you have the coolest employment, that I am confident you enjoy and love. Absolutely great! I'm almost retired and would like to take time w you on your endeavors.

Note those clouds and the bumpy ride. Great job!

Always pick up a tip for sim flying, but nothing like going along on the real thing. You were born for piloting. Great job!

Thanks so much. Means a lot you saying that! Take care

@@CitationMax You are welcome.

[@PilotDaveAviation]

Holy Milk Shake Max ! Great landing and as always a butter landing. I definitely agree that turbulence all the way down from 17000 to touchdown was crazy... As always, my friend, thanks for sharing your flight; be safe ! CYA

[@heatherstub]

Oh man! I do wish you had the whole thing on video! This is music to my ears, and this airplane sounds like a real gem! Even if it were in audio-stereo, I wouldn't mind, because I can visualize in my mind what's going on. Of course, those who can see would, so I'm certainly not above that.

[@cosnader9431]

ASE is fun in VFR, in IMC there is a huge pucker factor. Can't count the number of times when I was flying part 135 that we ended up in EGE or GJT

[@Rev1Kev]

Awesome flying Max. We use to fly into Aspen, to go skiing at Snowmass, at first with United Airlines, when they used BAe-146, and later when they switched to CRJ-900s, always loved the approach and the Takeoffs from a high altitude airport, not sure how a pilot feels. P1D flew into aspen a while back with his TCAS going off.

[@A.J.1656]

It's the CRJ-700 that goes to Aspen. The 900 doesn't have the performance.

[@Rev1Kev]

@@A.J.1656 thanks, wasn’t 100% on that, it’s been awhile, definitely knew it wasn’t a 200

[@A.J.1656]

@@Rev1Kev I was based in Denver in my days flying the CRJ. Getting Aspen qualified was a good way to get guaranteed CRJ-700 flying when the Embraer 175 started taking most of the CRJ-700 routes from Denver. Word on the street is they have been working hard to get the 175 certified for Aspen, but they will probably have to remove some seats to get the numbers to work.

[@parish2091]

Fantastic approach and landing despite the chop. Respect Max.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Flew into aspen in the corporate king air. The spot where the plane crashed into the hillside was still clearly visible back then.

[@bhollingsworth]

Max -- Another brilliant video my guy. Thanks again for sharing your adventures. Hope to catch up again this Summer if you come back to KIXD or KICT.

[@juliet2756]

Wow great landing and Aspen looks beautiful!!👍

[@icigcs]

Amazing job mate, that looked hectic!

[@jf5336]

Max, great flight. Sporty in-bound!

[@martinschwanke7127]

Nice flights, everything precise, concice and professional, and I love the "Greacers" we had a realy floaty approach (ground heat) into a small runway on an Island in the UK Bembridge on the Isle of wight, only in a Grumman Cheetah. so not always an easy task. lLargest Aircraft I flew was a Piper Navajo, Safe travels and flying more of these really appriciated. Also nice you give credit to the Staff and ground crew, airport handlers sometimes.

[@benz500r]

Nice landing, I've just left Aspen shortly after they reopened the airport.

[@moonshiner5412]

Nice! I have flown into Leadville, CO in a 172. Flew around in the valley below (South of) Aspen. Those mtns are so cool. Costs too much to land in Aspen. Leadville is just to the east over the Collegiate Mtns. Learned to fly in Colorado Springs so needed to mountain qualified if really wanted to see stuff.

[@Vanya80151]

So typical for a mountain approach -- it beats the crap out of you on the way down, and then it smoothes out last few hundred feet and makes you wonder what the big deal was all about. I was over Wyoming this summer and it was just pounding me for a couple of hours in mid-teens. Came in for a landing and last 500 feet or so there super smooth.

[@ckelley63]

Great Job Max you made it look easy!

[@oniinparadise9620]

Mountain flying at its finest. Good job on another awesome video

[@jdmillar86]
