AN ACR PLT QUESTIONS THE RESTR ON DEPS AT NIGHT ON RWY 7 AT EAGLE; CO.

Narrative

ACR PAGES SHOW RWY 7 AND ACR XYZ DEP AS A DAYTIME ONLY PROC. WHILE I THINK IT PRUDENT NOT TO LAND ON RWY 7 AT NIGHT; I BELIEVE RWY 7 AND AN XYZ DEP WOULD BE EVERY BIT AS SAFE -- IF NOT MORE SO -- THAN THE RWY 25 XYA DEP PROC. THIS PARTICULAR EVENING WE HAD TO CANCEL OUR FLT FOR THE NIGHT DUE TO UNFAVORABLE WINDS. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN FAA RESTR BUT I WISH TO BRING IT TO THEIR ATTN FOR REVIEW. BELOW ARE SEVERAL POINTS I'D LIKE CONSIDERED REGARDING THIS PROC. RWY 7 AND DEP XYZ HAS LOWER MINIMUMS THAN THE RWY 25 DEP PROC. RWY 7 REQUIRES A LOWER MINIMUM CLB GRADIENT THAN RWY 25; AND IS MORE STRAIGHT OUT THAN THE RWY 25 DEP. RWY 7 AND DEP XYZ MAKE USE OF GND NAVAIDS. YOU ARE ACTUALLY CLOSER TO TERRAIN DURING THE INITIAL STAGE OF CLB FROM RWY 25 THAN RWY 7; AND WITH RWY 25 YOU ARE PRIMARILY FMS ONLY. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON IN THE EVENING FOR WINDS TO BE EASTERLY. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: OTHER RPTED RESTRS FOR THE RWY 7 TKOF INCLUDE A REDUCED TAILWIND AUTH AND THE REQUIREMENT TO USE IMPROVED PERFORMANCE PROCS.
