Enroute to ASE; ATIS was listing approach as LOC DME-E and I selected that in the FMS with the AJAXX IAP. We were going direct to DBL and Approach Control asked if we could do the afore mentioned approach from DBL and I said we could. As we were still heading to DBL the ilot flying briefed the approaches with the mandatory altitudes while I flew the aircraft. When we were cleared for the approach I discovered that the fixes on the approach briefed were not the same as those in the approach selected in the FMS. We told Approach Control that we were breaking off the approach and wanted to hold at DBL while we solved the approach conflict. Approach Control cleared us direct to DBL and gave us holding instructions. I had a bit of difficulty putting direct DBL in the FMS and Approach Control gave us vectors and we were able to set up the direct off the manual holding pattern. Enroute to the holding pattern we were able to find the correct approach in the FMS which was listed as the LOC Circling approach. Approach Control vectored us for the final approach course and descended us and the airported was sighted as we intercepted the course. Landed without problem. FMS should not have approaches that we do not have the approach plates for and when the approach is briefed it should be checked against the approach that is in the FMS. Pilot Not Flying should also crosscheck the approach plate against the FMS approach. The approach names in the FMS should be the same as the names in the FMS.
Airborne being vectored to DBL at 13;400 feet cleared for the LOC DME-E approach to Runway 15 ASE. We were cleared for the approach from DBL VOR. DBL not part of the approach automation was interrupted and dropped the intercept when Direct DBL was selected. DBL not on approach in database nor on approach plate. Auto tune and auto intercept functions were disabled when DBL was manually entered into FMS. When flying through final request was made to return for holding at DBL. Not Flying Pilot had trouble entering the hold into the box. Manual hold with green needles was in the process of being executed when ATC gave vectors back around to final approach course for LOC DME-E to Runway 15.Do not touch the pre-established automation functions in FMS unless pre-briefed. Do not accept vectors to a point that is not associated with the approach. Fly the published-missed approach instructions manually if automation fails. Ensure clear understanding of how to enter the hold manually into FMS in case it drops out of the FMS.
CE680 flight crew reports being cleared for the LOC DME-E to ASE from DBL. After being cleared for the approach it is discovered the FMC approach procedure does not match the chart procedure and holding is requested to sort things out. The correct approach procedure is listed in the FMC as the LOC Circling approach which is then accomplished.
