Using standard technique and being totally open about rejecting the landing should it not work out is the way to proceed. The videos showing the majority of flights into JSI crossing the road at a reasonable height, doing a “standard landing” and rollout with room to spare shows this.

Part of being a professional pilot is to have the ability to get creative when needed but also to follow SOPs when they have been demonstrated to work.
Wise words.
