twotter said it best.

to possibly answer his question.....
My questions are simple and straight to the point: How could the ATO give the aircraft a type certification and why does ATO permit this "lazy granny" to land in an airfield like that?
they allowed it because the "book" said it was within the performance capability, albeit in standard conditions.

rumor, even the competitor's expat training captains have their reservations flying their european turbo-prop into Caticlan. (Naturally, they know that a "standard" condition is desirable, but the real world condition is not always "standard")

for as long as that hill at the end of rwy06 remains and the runway is not lengthened, and pilots remain human, i fear there will be more accidents at Caticlan.
