Re: Denver Air Connection/ Key Lime Air ?
When the new DEN was commissioned there was a prohibition, as I recall (please correct me if I'm wrong) that prevented Part 121 airlines from operating out the feeder/satellite airports (APA and BJC). I fly out of BJC in a C172 as Part 91 (non-commercial).

Also from a pilot- not ATP but instrument rated ASEL: We all have the benefit of hindsight in this incident, which the pilot did not. That doesn't excuse that an incorrect approach was obviously in process. The visual to 28R I believe is a converging approach with 28L (we don't know if 28L was activ...

As well (specific to SFO): Zero-wind traffic has landing on the 28's, and departures on the 01's. With the full length of the bay this offers a good long approach path on the 28's in order to be stabilized sufficiently for landing. The 01's require departing traffic to get above (or around) the OAK ...
