You think this confusing, the GLEX nav database approaches for KASE do NOT match any of the plates. VMC at Red Table or join the crowd at Rifle or Eagle.
That's because the NZ-2000 FMS doesn't do any circling-only approaches. So it's not just at Aspen.

The Aspen approaches in your database are Special Approaches.

Check this recent "Direct-to" Newsletter.
Question: Some approach procedures do not match the paper charts. Why?

Answer: Our The NZ-2000 database contains some special instrument procedures which require written authorization from your Principal Operations Inspector or Flight Standards District Office prior to use. Special charts are required in all cases and additional aircrew training and specific aircraft performance may be required. A current list of special approached can be obtained from honeywellaes.com. As well as the special procedures that are included in the navigation database, FMS software versions NZ6.0 and Primus Epic 7.0 and prior do not support circling approaches. If your FMS software version does not support circling approaches, they will not be available for selection into the flight plan.

The Aspen Specials are a boon to operators willing to obtain the requisite approvals from FAA Flight Standards.

There's a straight-in version of the LOC/DME-E (Approach title is LOC/DME Rwy 15) and an RNAV (GPS) Rwy 15.
