The touchdown zone of RWY23 is located on the extended runway with the well-known bridge construction. Perpendicular to this zone, there is a small valley cut on the uphill side. I was told once by locals that the approach to 23 can be much more difficult than to 05 because offshore winds down this valley cut gust above and below this runway-bridge, causing rotating turbulences.
