Reminds me a bit of when Orion got the B 737-300 (we were the launch customer in fact) which was not too hot (no pun intended) on climb wrt obstacles on take off etc.
Corfu RW 17 was a bit limiting due to the small island off the end with some trees. We tried to persuade them to chop the trees down but they wouldnt play ball! We also tried to argue that the people who walked across the causeway just off the end were "frangible" but once again they wouldnt buy that idea either.
Full marks to out Nav Dept Manager, John Jones (ex Flight Nav but long retired now, I think) who predicted well before we got the a/c that we would be limited ex CFU!
