Golliponda, Porto Santo wx is generally totally different than FNC. ( in the same manner as TFN is totally different as TFS despite being on same island )Runway in Porto santo is in the middle of the island not in ,parallel and partly attached artificially to the coast line, like in FNC ,and it used to be much longer.. .The only thing to watch in Porto Santo is the brief windshear/ turbulence on final approach when one passes the cliff. Once over land it is generally OK.
