GROUND LESSONS 11. A pilot is flying through the Rocky Mountains and decide to land at KASE in Aspen, CO. The RNAV (GPS) 15 approach via radar vectors is assigned.

Going into Aspen, one should focus on the approach as well as on the other key item - terrain. Therefore, declutter the display to show the approach and turn on the terrain and traffic options. Eliminating the topo shading brings higher contrast in the colors to the display, allowing the pilot to focus on avoiding a CFIT (Controlled Flight Into Terrain) accident and to stand a better chance of being able to see and avoid traffic departing runway 33 out of KASE. 190-00368-04 Rev.

GROUND LESSONS
11. A pilot is flying through the Rocky Mountains and decide to land at KASE in Aspen, CO.
The RNAV (GPS) 15 approach
via radar vectors is assigned.
It is daytime, although visibility is limited to a few miles with cloud tops at 10,000 feet MSL.
What options should be selected to display on the PFD map inset?
Going into Aspen, one should focus on the approach as well as on the other key item – terrain.
Therefore,
declutter the display to show the approach and turn on the terrain and traffic options.
Eliminating the topo
shading brings higher contrast in the colors to the display, allowing the pilot to focus on avoiding a CFIT
(Controlled Flight Into Terrain) accident and to stand a better chance of being able to see and avoid traffic
departing runway 33 out of KASE.
