A very chalenging Airport, If the weather is nice, no problems, however I would recommend to be ready early since you would have to descent with 2 different gradients, the first gradient is around 5% this why you have to have drag to avoid accelerating, the second gradient is a 3.2% more manageable, the runway is not flat, so watch your fare.
This is if you have both engines
The Engine out SID and or go-around are tough, you basically have to circle around the airport before you can climb safely
As the procedure is airline Property, I cannot send you a copy however if you have a go at flight sim (microsoft) you will have a prety good idea of what is ahead.
