In my humble opinion, you don't have to land in that tight spot. Especially in FL, more airports around you at anytime than Trump supporters...

Our company made sure that every recurrent we had a landing distance refresher, for good reasons. Try flying into 3 airports on 1 day in Central and S America, all 5000-9000 ft elevation and ra/ts+ etc, add rubber covered runways and unreliable ATC, unreliable or no actual weather reports etc etc, ooh and at max dispatch ldg mass calculated by the supercomputers of dispatch and of course verified during the preflight briefing...in a widebody freighter
