Ferzackerly, HN39.

JT - JS asked up to how far out you would prescribe an emergency procedure. EG. West bound from Calgary? In AN?
If you were to do an analysis for a runway at an airport with flat terrain all around except for the extremely high wall of mountains off in the distance that rise up like the Rockies seem to do(and you could never get over)....
How far away would they have to be for you to not have a special procedure requiring a turn.
- I would be interested to know. I prefer my sledgehammer (aka HN39's 'preflight planning').
