Yes, there are several types out there that will do it. However, need a full obstacle analysis, not just the SARDD or LINDZ departures. The SIDs are build according to TERPS and thus may include several obstacles that need not be accounted for.

Regarding the types good to do it - well, when we were last there on a sunny day, loads of all sorts of aircraft departing and landing. When we departed on a sh@tty day, the CJ1s, Avantis and Be400s had mysteriously vanished.

Arrival will probably be more of an issue. With departures on 33 while approaches are in progress for 15, less than standard seperation is a fact of life - but it also means that you often will not be able to descend W of the LOC to lose height, so even in VMC conditions you'll need a fair ROD to get in.

IMC - no thanks, it's either the circling in good viz below the clouds or a trip to RIL or EGE. Do people land straight in 15 from minima at all? Our ship[ can't get dragged up enough, but others might Wanted a F40-setting for xmas, didn't get one
