Wow! A short runway with no visibility of the opposite end?


That HAD to scare the crap out of new pax!

The runway I learnt on and still operate from is something like 1700
feet long and you can't see one end from the other, either. Runways of
this lenght are considered pretty standard in wide parts of Europe, and
we typically use no more than two third of the runway length for a
landing with a typical spam can.

The typical pax doesn't even think about it. It requires some discipline
from the pilots, though.

Here's a picture of said airfield:

Here is Hillside. I am not sure I would believe the statistics they
provide. http://www.airnav.com/airport/63K
