A go around is possible , there is just no procedures for it . This not unusual for altiports.. In practice, only below a certain decision height on short finals you cannot safely go around. due to the slope That's it.
BTW, in addition to a mountain qualification, you need a special approval to be allowed there if you are a public transport aircraft :
LFLJ : Public transport operations with airplanes is subject to:
- obtaining necessary approvals issued by the civil aviation authority in charge of monitoring the operator and,
- obtaining an authorization issued by the DSAC Centre Est based on a case file including approvals as referred above, operating instructions, operational limitations, TKOF and LDG procedures and engine failure procedures at TKOF related to each type of airplane concerned with the operations on this altiport.
-. Users are asked to join the DSAC Centre-Est to obtain any other information enabling them to set their operating instructions for this altiport and associated limitations, and submit their requests and case files
